Smart business cards for teams.
Equip your people. Strengthen your brand.

Taplink rolls out NFC and QR-enabled smart business cards across your entire organisation — centrally managed, consistently branded, and ready to scale as your team grows.

Smart business cards for teams

One platform. Every team member.

Provision branded cards in bulk. Update details centrally. No app required.

Works on Android and iOS — for every connection your team makes.

How smart business cards work

Smart business cards combine the familiarity of a traditional card with NFC (Near Field Communication) technology, letting your team share rich, up-to-date information with anyone holding a smartphone.

1. Data storage

Each card stores your team member's digital identity — contact details, role, company website, social profiles, even product videos — all linked to a centrally managed profile.

2. Contactless transfer

When the card is held near an NFC-enabled smartphone, the recipient instantly sees your employee's profile — no app to install, no friction. They can save the contact in seconds.

3. Interactive content

Profiles can carry far more than a phone number: clickable links to product demos, case studies, calendars, or PDFs. Every team member effectively carries your sales toolkit in their wallet.

4. Engagement analytics

Track how often cards are tapped, which profiles get the most attention, and how your team's outreach is performing — visibility your business cards never gave you before.

The result: a more convenient, branded, measurable way for your team to make every connection count.

Built for businesses.

Branded NFC cards, rolled out at scale.

Every card carries your corporate branding and links to a profile that fits your visual identity. Equip ten employees or ten thousand — Taplink handles bulk provisioning, central management, and consistent presentation across your whole organisation. No app required for recipients on Android or iOS.

How a Rollout Works

1. We work with you on a card design that matches your brand guidelines.

2. You provide your team roster — we handle the rest.

3. We print, encode, and ship cards to your offices or directly to staff.

4. Your team taps cards on prospects' phones or shares via QR code.

5. Recipients save your team's details to contacts in seconds.

6. You manage profiles, departures, and rebrands from one dashboard.

Security that scales with the stakes.

From a business card meant to be shared, to a safety inspection tag that must never be faked, Taplink gives every tap exactly the proof it is worth. Choose your level. Pay for what the moment needs, and nothing you do not.

Four levels of proof, one platform.

Every Taplink tag is more than a link. As the stakes rise, so does what the tag and our servers can prove about each tap: from a simple share, to catching a copy, to rejecting one outright, to confirming the tag has never left the asset it was fixed to.

Tier 1

Digital business card

Tap to share, instantly. No app, no fuss.

  • Protects against: nothing, by design. A business card is meant to be shared.
  • Best for: everyday networking, events, teams, giveaways.
  • Under the hood: NTAG213 with a direct link to your profile.

Tier 2

Clone-checked

Know your tag is the real one, and get warned the moment a copy shows up.

  • Protects against: casual copying. We confirm the chip is genuine and flag any tap that looks cloned.
  • Best for: membership, loyalty, access passes, brand-authenticity on lower-risk items.
  • Under the hood: NTAG213 with tap-counter and genuine-chip verification.
Get started
Tier 3 Coming soon

Clone-resistant

A copied tag simply will not work.

  • Protects against: cloning. Every tap is cryptographically signed and verified. Forge it or replay it, and our servers reject it.
  • Best for: high-value products, ticketing, warranty and anti-counterfeiting.
  • Under the hood: NTAG 424 DNA secure chip.
Coming soon
Tier 4 Coming soon

Tamper-anchored

Proof the tag is genuine, the tap is fresh, and it is still on the asset.

  • Protects against: cloning and the peel-and-move trick. If the tag is lifted from what it was fixed to, we know.
  • Best for: safety-critical inspections, equipment check-ins, high-value asset tracking, underground and offline sites.
  • Under the hood: NTAG 424 DNA TT tamper-detecting chip.
Coming soon

Add a location trail.

Layer a location audit trail onto any secured tag (Tiers 2 and up). Each tap can record where and when it happened, giving you a running history of your asset in the field. It is an audit trail, not a guarantee: the reading comes from the scanning phone, so treat it as strong supporting evidence rather than absolute proof. For location you can fully trust, Tier 4 anchors the tag to the asset itself.

How a secured tap works.

1. Tap

A phone taps the Taplink tag. No app required.

2. Verify

The tag hands our servers a signal only a genuine tag can produce. We check it in real time.

3. Result

Genuine and fresh, and you are through. Copied, replayed, or tampered, and we flag or block it, depending on your tier.

Frequently asked questions

Do recipients need to install an app?

No — recipients see your team member's branded profile in their phone browser and can save the contact in one tap. No app, no signup, no friction.

Does this work on iPhone?

Yes. iPhones running iOS 14 or later read NFC tags natively, and the QR code on the back of every card works on any smartphone — Android or iOS — going back many years.

Can we keep our own card design?

Yes. We work with you to produce a card design that matches your brand guidelines. Every card and every digital profile carries your corporate branding.

What happens when an employee leaves or changes role?

You update or deactivate their profile from the central dashboard. The card already in someone's wallet keeps working with the new details — no reprinting required.

How long does a rollout take?

Typical rollouts run 7–14 working days from sign-off on the card design. We encode, print, and ship cards to your offices or directly to staff.

What does it cost?

We quote each rollout based on team size and any customisation. Most quotes turn around in one business day — use the contact form below or email web@taplink.co.za.

Where are the cards printed and shipped from?

We print and ship from South Africa. Shipping is free anywhere in South Africa and Namibia.

Who owns the contact and profile data?

You do. Your data is held centrally in your account and you can export it at any time.
