NFC Application Development

Azoft began working on Near Field Communication projects in 2011, soon after NFC-enabled phones first appeared on the market.

Examples of our NFC projects are presented below. Please note that many of our projects are protected by nondisclosure agreements and thus cannot be shown here.

We have experience developing NFC applications for Android and BlackBerry mobile platforms, as well as developing web-based server sides that work together with mobile applications.

NFC Reader & Publisher Applications

Azoft developed this near field communication solution for a marketing agency. The solution enables mobile users to touch their BlackBerry or Android phones to an NFC tag and quickly obtain information about the product they are interested in. The resulting solution has three components: two mobile applications (Reader and Publisher) and a server-side containing product information, such as images, PDF files, text, videos, and more.

Technologies: Android/Blackberry, Java, Python, HTTP/HTTPS, REST/JSON, NDEF.

NFC Content Sharing Service

This Android application allows its users to quickly share content, such as images, text, links to websites, videos, document files, or contact information by simply touching two NFC-enabled phones together. When users exchange contact information, it is automatically recorded in their phones' contact folder. Another great feature makes it possible to create, customize, and share vCards, including company logos and photographs.

Areas of Expertise

Near Field Communication Solutions - Recent smartphone models support NFC technology, which enables short-range communication between two devices, such as a phone and a tag or between two phones. With the help of NFC technology mobile users can simply tap their phones to transfer information like images, text, PDF-files, video, audio, etc. Transferring data by means of NFC is quick and simple because only a link is being transferred, which then allows access to any information stored on a server.

Mobile Payments - Near field communication technology offers a new contactless approach to making payments. If you have an NFC-enabled phone, it is now possible to simply wave or tap the device close to an NFC tag to carry out a transaction. This potentially eliminates the need for carrying cash, credit cards, and even membership discount cards and coupons. Moreover, this system is being adopted by public transportation industry because it is so convenient while on the go. In other words, travelers can quickly pay transit fares when entering subway, bus, train, etc.

Asset Management Solutions - Azoft has a wide range of experience developing mobile, web and server-side solutions that are designed to work together. This approach is essential in asset management solutions. For example, we have developed systems where RFID or NFC tags are assigned to physical assets, in addition to developing web-based solutions for tracking the location and status of these assets. Similar systems are often implemented for inventory management, product tracking, freight forwarding, and more.

Radio-Frequency Identification Systems - RFID is a wireless communication technology that has been around for many years. RFID system includes an RFID tag, an antenna, and a tool that decodes data. The tag contains encoded information and can be placed on any object. Due to the tag's small size it can be easily placed on a wallet-size plastic card and fit into a pocket. This technology is widely used in various industries, such as transportation, logistics, healthcare, inventory management, and even animal tracking.

Mobile Marketing - Near filed communication systems are often used for marketing purposes. An NFC tag can easily be placed on advertising posters or product exhibits. Then, potential buyers can wave their phones near the tag if they wish to obtain more product details. For example, a customer at a furniture can quickly access the manufacturer website to find out more about the product, view photos, read customer reviews, or even get special discounts.
