Near Field Communications, or NFC, is a new technology with unlimited applications.
NFC uses RFID technology built in to the latest generation of mobile phones to scan or swipe small RFID tags, which can be placed just about anywhere. Tags can be programmed to trigger different actions when they are swiped by phones.
Many businesses or organisations have field based operations that need managing in real time. NFC technology gives these businesses leading edge management capability.
NFC can be used in a diverse array of industries with mobile staff, mobile assets, or multiple sites and locations. Because NFC technology uses readily available NFC enabled mobile phones and inexpensive tags, it can be applied anywhere, and by any type of field personnel.

NFC allows businesses to streamline the way people work at, and report from, remote locations. It also allows field based personnel to focus on what they do best, whilst managers benefit from greater visibility in field operations.
4. NFC Improves Customer Service
NFC technology actively helps businesses to deliver enhanced customer service.

Field operations managers can use this real time data to generate customer reports and measure results faster than ever before - and faster than their competitors.
In fact, using NFC technology in a business can give it a commercial edge to help it gain and retain high value clients.
