NexoTap · a shoring.io technology

Every tap. Cryptographically real.

NexoTap connects physical touchpoints with digital experiences and proves with every contact that a real person was actually there. For brands, agencies and platforms that want to make offline campaigns measurable and abuse-resistant.

Cryptographically verified
No app download
No POS integration
Hosted in the EU
The blind spot

Your strongest touchpoints are digitally invisible.

Shelf displays, posters, ads, exhibition stations, restaurant tables: this is where real encounters happen. Digitally, they are barely measurable.

01

Shared instead of experienced

Static codes get photographed and shared in messenger groups and bargain portals. Your budget reaches people who were never there.

02

Estimated instead of measured

Which poster, which display, which station worked? Reach gets extrapolated, impact remains a guess.

03

Hurdles instead of action

App download, registration, POS integration: every hurdle costs participation before the experience even begins.

→ What is missing is proof: this person was right here. Right now.

Live demo

One link. Exactly once.

Every NexoTap Secure NFC Chip generates a new, unique URL with a cryptographic signature on every tap. NexoTap verifies it in milliseconds and invalidates it immediately. Anyone who reloads the page, shares a screenshot or forwards the link lands on an expired page.

How it works

Tap. Verify. Experience.

Smartphone showing a verified tap with an unlocked 20% coupon
1
Tap

Hold the smartphone to the NexoTap-NFC. The browser opens automatically, on iPhone and Android, without any app.

2
Verify

NexoTap verifies signature and uniqueness and applies your rules: one stamp per day, one coupon per person, valid for 20 minutes only.

3
Experience

On to a campaign page, coupon, wallet pass, game or straight into your app. Change the destination anytime in the dashboard; the chip stays where it is.

In the background, every tap becomes a clean data event with location, time and campaign. For your dashboard, your CRM or your marketing automation.

Benefits

Provable presence instead of estimated reach.

Today: static codes
With NexoTap
Reach is estimated
Presence is proven

Rewards only go to people who are physically on site.

Codes get shared in groups and bargain portals
Every link works exactly once

One-time links and rules per user, day and location stop coupon farming and sharing.

Impact per poster or display remains a guess
Attribution down to the touchpoint

See which display, which poster, which station created impact.

App download and registration first
Just tap: no app, no POS integration

Rewards can land directly in Apple or Google Wallet if desired.

A new campaign means touching the hardware
Controllable live

Change destinations, campaigns and game mechanics centrally, without touching hardware.

Data is collected broadly
Data-minimal, EU-hosted

Users start pseudonymously. Registration only when a reward is really worth it.

Use cases

One technology. Many stages.

Shelf, poster, city walk or departure gate: wherever people are physically present, NexoTap turns presence into a measurable experience. Choose your industry.

Application scenarioNexoTap-NFC

Shopper activation at the shelf

The coupon only appears when the shopper stands in front of the shelf. One tap, one coupon, no leakage to bargain portals.

Show details
Situation

Manufacturers pay a lot for secondary placements and displays but cannot see who interacts with them. Printed coupon codes end up on bargain portals.

How it works
  • A NexoTap-NFC sits in the display header or on the shelf edge.
  • The tap opens a campaign page or deep-links into the coupon section of the retailer’s app.
  • The coupon only becomes visible after the tap and is settled via established coupon clearing processes.
Result

Budget only reaches shoppers who have the product within reach. The brand sees which store and which display converts, while strengthening the retailer’s app.

Application scenarioQR in pack + NexoTap-NFC

Collector pass and streaks via packaging

Every pack counts: collector pass, streaks and wallet pass turn repeat purchases into a game and purchases into usable data.

Show details
Situation

Brands want to reward repeat purchases and understand who buys which product when, without asking for registration right away.

How it works
  • A code inside the pack unlocks points in a digital collector pass; the backend limits scans per user.
  • Streaks reward regular purchases, an explorer pass encourages trying further variants.
  • The pass lives in the smartphone wallet and reminds the user when a store is nearby.
Result

Measurable repeat purchases and a pseudonymous, cross-brand picture of buying behaviour that can later feed into your own marketing automation.

Application scenarioNexoTap-NFC

Drive-to-store with out-of-home

From poster to store in 20 minutes. Every location shows how much footfall it really brings.

Show details
Situation

Poster campaigns for a collection launch are expensive and their effect on store traffic is hard to prove. Promo codes on posters subsidise online shoppers.

How it works
  • Interactive posters near the store carry a NexoTap-NFC.
  • The tap reveals a mystery discount and starts a personal 20-minute countdown.
  • Redemption only works live at the checkout while the countdown is running.
Result

Verifiable return on ad spend per poster location and additional footfall exactly when it is needed.

Application scenarioNexoTap-NFC

Digital stamp card without POS integration

The stamp card nobody can fake: tap at the counter, stamp on the phone, reward with a second tap.

Show details
Situation

Paper stamp cards get lost and deliver no data. QR alternatives get photographed once and scanned daily from home.

How it works
  • A stand with a NexoTap-NFC sits at the counter or on the table. One tap collects one stamp, at most one per day and location.
  • To redeem, the guest activates redemption mode; the next tap on the stand redeems the reward in a tamper-proof way.
  • Optional: prize wheel via double tap, double points during quiet hours, status levels based on visit frequency.
Result

More repeat visits, especially on weekdays, and for the first time data about regulars. No POS integration, no app.

Application scenarioNexoTap-NFC (optional stamps)

Experience challenges for cities and regions

Discover places instead of reading boards: stations, quizzes and a digital pass that only grows on site.

Show details
Situation

Visitors cluster around a few hotspots. Local businesses barely benefit, and classic information boards get ignored.

How it works
  • A tap at the first station opens a web app. Visitors choose their interest, for example history, action or art and food.
  • Content, quiz questions and games wait at NexoTap-NFC stations. Visiting enough stations unlocks a digital pass or a reward.
  • Local businesses are integrated via invitations, vouchers and ad space. Next stage: tickets for museums and public transport.
Result

Visitor guidance, longer dwell time and measurable footfall for local businesses. Plannable via station packages, flat fees and a licence per chip.

Application scenarioNexoTap-NFC

Interactive stations in museums, exhibitions and garden shows

Every station becomes interactive, without an app: tap, discover, collect.

Show details
Situation

Exhibitions want to reach younger audiences and understand visitor paths without commissioning a dedicated app.

How it works
  • NexoTap-NFC points are integrated into the exhibition design.
  • A tap opens deeper content, audio, quizzes or puzzles. A collector pass rewards the complete tour.
  • Implemented together with exhibition designers as partners.
Result

More interaction, data on popular stations and an experience that stays in the wallet beyond the visit.

Application scenarioSerialized QR, optional NexoTap-NFC

Reader activation for print

From the ad straight into the wallet: print that activates measurably.

Show details
Situation

Print reaches many people but is hard to measure digitally. Advertisers ask for verifiable impact.

How it works
  • A serialized code in the ad leads to a campaign microsite with a few questions.
  • Afterwards there is a coupon from the advertiser, with “Add to Wallet” if desired.
  • Collectible card mechanics and a collector pass across several issues strengthen reader loyalty. Abuse is controlled via limits per user and day, with a service code for edge cases.
Result

Print becomes measurable and more valuable for advertisers. The publisher gains first-party data and new revenue models.

Application scenarioNexoTap-NFC (QR fallback)

Gamification at the departure gate and at destinations

Earlier at the gate, more to experience at the destination: verified collectible moments around the journey.

Show details
Situation

Late passengers delay boarding. At the same time, travel providers are looking for ways to accompany customers at the destination.

How it works
  • Staff set up mobile stands with a NexoTap-NFC as soon as the gate is staffed. Early tappers enter a prize draw, even without the provider’s app.
  • At sights in the destination, a tap confirms presence and unlocks a digital collectible card.
  • Local partners such as hotels, restaurants and cafés can be integrated.
Result

More punctual boarding, more engagement in the customer app and an experience that extends the journey.

Application scenarioNexoTap-NFC or stamp

Port quests and last-hour offers

A few hours ashore, experienced to the fullest: quests and last-hour offers that only work on site.

Show details
Situation

Guests spend only a few hours ashore. Local merchants would like to benefit, and travel providers want to shape the shore experience.

How it works
  • Temporary partnerships with retailers near the port; offers appear in the travel provider’s app.
  • Redemption via a tap on the NexoTap-NFC or a stamp in the shop; payment happens locally.
  • Works offline too: deferred validation as standard, merchant confirmation as fallback.
Result

Better guest experience, new partner revenue via a fixed fee per redemption or listing fee, and measurable effects for port cities.

Application scenarioNexoTap Secure NFC Chip

Authenticity and secure delivery of high-value goods

One tap proves it: authentic, intact, yours. And the item lands straight in the digital collection.

Show details
Situation

With high-value goods, authenticity and intact delivery matter. Paper certificates can be forged, and customers want to manage their collection digitally.

How it works
  • A NexoTap Secure NFC Chip sits in the shipment seal or the product label.
  • On receipt, a tap confirms authenticity and integrity. The item is added to the digital collection in the customer portal.
  • Later taps document ownership and history, for example on resale.
Result

Trust at every handover, protection against counterfeits and a customer relationship that continues after the purchase.
