A popular implementation of NFC is to use passively powered chips (no battery necessary) embedded into products that become active when a device powers them on at close range. This technology has been used in a wide variety of use-cases for 20 years, including for Apple Pay, transit cards, and hotel room keycards.

Most consumer smartphones have NFC-reading capability built into their devices already. Users simply tap their phone to the tag to bring up Berify. Users can choose to either download our app or use a lightweight app clip that requires no installation.

Berify Tail Smart Tags - Enterprise

  2. Choose either ‘Edit global experience’ or ‘New targeted experience’ to initiate customization.
  3. Navigate the customization settings panel and switch between the ‘Tail Untampered’ and ‘Tail Tampered’ tabs to customize each experience individually.
  4. After making all desired edits, press the ‘Publish’ button to apply and publish your changes.
  5. Your customized experiences are now active on the app.
Can I apply geo-targeted experiences to my Berify tail smart tag?

This means that pharmaceuticals, consumable products such as wine, liquor and supplements, medical products, or even giveaways can be used with our tag.
