Traditional business cards become outdated and are easy to lose. The product needed to make a physical tap open a useful, editable profile without requiring the recipient to install an app.

  • Fitch Foundry sells NFC tap cards and keychains connected to customer-managed web profiles.
  • The business required both customer-facing product experiences and operational tools for fulfillment and support.

Requirements

  • Keep the tap-to-profile experience fast and simple on mobile devices.
  • Protect customer accounts and separate customer, product, order, and administrative permissions.
  • Support product claiming and updates after physical devices leave fulfillment.
  • Design both the software and the operating process behind it.
  • Design and build the product experience from concept through production support.
  • Implement authentication, onboarding, profiles, ecommerce, payments, account management, and role-based access.
  • Connect customer, order, product, and device-claiming workflows through Firebase services and APIs.
  • Manage platform enhancements, troubleshooting, fulfillment automation, and product operations.
