The technology that powers Keyzapp's patent-pending "Tap and Scan" key tracker is about to take off big time according to global business advisory firm, Deloitte.
The biggest mainstream use of the technology, (known as Near Field Communication, or NFC for short) will be to make payments quickly and simply via your mobile phone. This research coincides with Apple's "Apple Pay" for iPhones in the UK this week. Chances are, if you live in an economically developed country, you're already starting to use the same tech every day, with "contactless, "tap and go" or "payWave" credit cards.
With millions of phones now using the technology in the UK, Deloitte expect that we'll see an explosion in the different ways you can tap objects to interact with them. Keyzapp is one of the best examples of how this technology can go beyond payment systems into all sorts of everyday processes in industry.
Going from a paper log book to Keyzapp is like replacing your chequebook with contactless credit cards.
