In order to enjoy the advantages of your NFC business card, you will need a possibility to manage the contact information on the integrated NFC chip. For this purpose, we developed the web portal NFC-vCard.de. By purchasing a NFC business card in our vCard-Shop you also gain access to this web portal. However, you might ask yourself what you can expect from our web portal?
Ease of use was our main goal for NFC-enabled business cards. You do not need to know any technical details about NFC! Just scan your card, unlock it and fill out an input form in order to store your contact information on your NFC business card. This input form also enables you to store more than the usual contact data on your card. For example, you can add smart links to your social media profiles and add a photo as well.
Usually, NFC chips are only able to store small amount of data. Even the NFC chip with the highest memory capacity only offers enough space for the usual contact data like name, address, phone numbers and email address. However, the memory capacity isn’t sufficient for further contact details such as photos or links to your websites and social media profiles.
Thus, we developed an innovative concept in order to overcome the limited memory capacity of NFC chips. Before shipment of your NFC business card we already store a link to your personal area in our cloud on the NFC chip. As soon as you enter contact information in our web portal, this information is saved securely in your personal cloud area. Once a new contact scans your card, in principle only the linked content in our cloud is shown on the smartphone and not the actual content of the NFC chip (which is only the link). However, the scanning person won’t recognize this indirect route.
In our web portal, you can update your contact information any time. Simply change your information in the input form and thus, all your NFC business card are automatically up-to-date. This is possible because all your NFC business cards contain the same link to your personal cloud area. Once you change the content in the cloud via our web portal, all business cards containing the corresponding link are updated. Without the cloud concept, it would be much more time-consuming to change contact information on NFC business cards because the process would have to be repeated for every single card.
Maybe you don’t want that every new contact has access to all contact information on your business card. Our web portal enables you to change the visibility of your data with a single click. Once your NFC business card is scanned, invisible data aren’t transferred to the scanning smartphone. Another click marks your data as visible again, so you don’t have to delete and re-enter your data every time.
For companies in particular, it might be interesting that we can customize the appearance of your NFC business card. Thereby, we have the possibility to insert your company logo and adjust the colour scheme to your corporate design. Simply tell us via telephone that you wish a NFC business card in your corporate design. Afterwards, we only need a file with your company logo and your desired colour value in order to customize your NFC business card for you. If you choose a NFC business card in your corporate design, all NFC business cards of your employees are automatically shown in this design.
