Pragmatic NFC Connect PR1301 read by iPhone

NFC Connect redefines the parameters of connected packaging, unlocking item-level intelligence for mass-market products where traditional solutions are constrained by cost, supply chain and sustainability challenges.

Empowering sustainable customer innovation, it enables brands to unlock richer consumer experiences and drive deeper connections, from customer loyalty programs, product authentication and provenance, to digital product passports.

It’s particularly suited to fast-moving consumer goods – such as food and beverage, apparel, pharmaceuticals and cosmetics.

Innovation is the lifeblood of our industry. It is also key to realizing item-level intelligence at scale and extending unique item-level ID to new segments, such as FMCG. I look forward to our continued strategic partnership enabling clients to pursue exciting new market opportunities.
