Flexi Tag fitting instructions
These instructions are offered as guidance in fitting and using NFC Flexi Tags.
How it works.
Most Iphones have a built in NFC scanning function. You can find an App. for your phone by Googling "read NFC" and entering your phones make and model. Most Apps are free to download.
The Tags work on any surface, including metal, and are weather proof for use both indoors and outdoors. When you peel off the backing there is a strong adhesive to stick the tag on but you may wish to strengthen this with some super glue round the edges. Always make sure the surface where the Tag is being stuck is free from dirt, grease and dust.
Sometimes it is helpful to take a photo, with your phone, of the Tag in place and send this to your office where it can stored using the Tag ID as the file name for easy retreval.
Record the Tag ID in your sales ledger against the invoice and on the
invoice details. Sales ledger software such as Xero and Sage have fields such as "Ref" where you can record the ID and search and report on.
This extends the functionality of your sales ledger into a service, warranty or Hazard record
It is in the interest of your customer to keep the tag inpace.
