NFC for Small & Medium Businesses

One tap replaces paper cards, review requests, Wi-Fi passwords, and printed menus — without monthly software fees.

The Problem

Indian SMEs run on personal relationships and repeat business, but most of the tools for sharing contact info, collecting reviews, and directing customers to product pages are either too manual (paper cards, spoken phone numbers) or too expensive (subscription-based apps).

  • Paper visiting cards get lost and go out of date within months
  • Happy customers do not leave reviews because the process has too many steps
  • Wi-Fi passwords are written on whiteboards, photocopied on slips, or repeated aloud
  • Product links and menus require customers to search or type URLs manually
  • Payment QR codes are printed once and cannot be updated if the number changes

The Solution

A small set of NFC tags — one per staff member for contacts, one at the counter for reviews, one near the router for Wi-Fi — solves all of these in a single tap per action. Tags are a one-time purchase with no monthly fee. Encoding takes under two minutes with a free app.

Digital business card: one tap saves the full contact — name, phone, WhatsApp, website
Google review tap: customers review you in one tap instead of three steps
Wi-Fi share: guests connect without typing a password
Menu or product info: tap opens the current version of your menu or catalogue
Payment / UPI: tap opens a pre-filled UPI payment page at the right amount
No app download required for the customer
One-time cost, no subscription — tags work for years

Frequently Asked Questions

A simple SME setup: 2–5 NFC cards (one per staff member), 1 counter sticker for Google reviews, 1 Wi-Fi sticker near the router, and optionally 1 sticker per table for the menu. Most shops start with under ₹500 worth of tags for a working multi-tap setup.
