Digital identity and NFC-enabled interactions Digital Identity

Turn a simple tap into a digital interaction.

  • One tap, no app
  • LF / HF / UHF
  • Configurable to your own domain

Digital Identity transforms NFC-enabled cards and touchpoints into gateways for digital identity, information sharing and engagement. Users can tap to access digital profiles, contact details and other configured content through a mobile browser, without installing an app. Profiles can be updated centrally, while configurable options support different organizational needs, from digital business cards to other NFC-enabled interactions.

Capabilities

01

One tap, no app

Users tap an NFC-enabled card to open a digital profile in their phone's browser. They can save contact details with a single action, while QR codes provide an alternative for devices without NFC support.

02

Front and back profile

Present key personal and professional details, including a photo, name, role, contact information and company profile. Website links, addresses and location maps can provide additional information and make it easier for others to connect.

03

Update any time, instantly

Update job titles, contact numbers, links and profile content through the administration console. Changes go live without reprinting cards, helping organizations keep employee information current.

04

Tap analytics

Track supported tap activity and profile views across daily, monthly and annual periods. These insights help organizations understand engagement and assess how effectively their digital profiles are being used.

05

Controlled Access and Security

Manage digital profiles centrally through administrative controls and role-based access. Server-side security measures help protect profile information and allow administrators to manage access when a card is lost or an employee's details change.

06

Card Options

Choose card configurations based on the intended application. Supported frequency options may include HF 13.56 MHz for NFC interactions, LF 125 kHz for compatible access-control systems, and UHF 860 to 960 MHz for suitable longer-range identification applications, subject to hardware and system compatibility.

Inside the product

From tap to contact book

01

Sharing a card

One tap on a smartphone opens the profile in the phone's browser. There is no app to install and nothing to type.

02

Saving a contact

The recipient saves the contact with one more tap. A QR code opens the same profile on phones without NFC.

03

Updating a profile

A change made in the console is live on the next tap, so a new job title does not need new cards. A company administrator can lock fields so they cannot be changed by the employee.

04

Files and achievements

Below the contact details, the profile can carry files to open or download and badges for achievements.

05

Analytics

The card owner sees taps and profile views by day, month and year.

06

Collecting cards

Paper business cards from other people can be scanned. The details read from the card are shown for checking before they are saved to the contact book.

Questions

Does the recipient need an app?

No. An NFC tap opens the digital profile in the phone's browser, allowing recipients to view and save contact details without installing an app. QR codes provide an alternative sharing method.

Which devices are compatible?

Digital Identity supports compatible NFC-enabled smartphones and QR-code access through supported devices. Compatibility depends on the phone, operating system, browser and configured functionality.

Can I use our own domain name?

Yes. Digital Identity can be configured to use an organization's own domain or subdomain, subject to the deployment setup. CLL Systems will assist with the required DNS configuration and verification.

What are the on-prem server requirements?

Server requirements depend on the number of users, expected usage, integrations and security requirements. CLL Systems will recommend an appropriate specification based on the deployment scope.

What happens if a card is lost?

Administrators can manage digital profiles centrally and take appropriate action when a card is lost. Security depends on the configured access controls and deployment. The card's physical security and any separate access-control functions should also be considered.

How is it priced?

Pricing depends on the selected card configuration, number of users, required features, deployment model and support requirements. CLL Systems will provide a proposal based on the confirmed scope.

Is it really cheaper than paper?

Digital profiles can reduce the need to reprint business cards when contact details or job titles change. Overall savings depend on card costs, platform requirements, user numbers and deployment scope.

How do we get started?

Getting started involves setting up the company administrator account, providing company details, creating employee profiles, approving the card design, and arranging card encoding, printing and delivery. CLL Systems will guide you through the process.
