A: NFC technology will change many everyday processes. What appears still today, many people are unaccustomed to, will be in a few years, of course: with the Smartphone via a short-distance data exchange. The possibilities are enormous: bus tickets, pay for business cards to exchange or for the roof Luggage carrier directly, a how-to video calling. Uncomplicated and super fast.
Also in the sports Business NFC-Tags (Near Field Communication).

The 54-Year-old founder and managing Director of in February 2016 based pop that day.
“We understand ,Internet of things,’ not as a fridge that automatically re-orders the beer,” explains Wolf. “We thought about how we can make virtually any object really smart, contactless, without battery, can be controlled individually and with a high standard of safety. As a result, we are landed automatically in the case of the NFC technology. Just place the Smartphone at the object and hold and you will be redirected."
How it works? An NFC Tag is a miniature Chip that can be anywhere, gluing or sewing and a specific target application is stored. Most of the newer Generation Smartphones are NFC-enabled. If you hold them to a NFC-Chip that opens the menu – similar to an App. It’s just that you don’t need any App and Internet browser.

“The relevance to the sport industry is evident,” says Stefan Wolf: “wouldn’t it Be cool if you could propose to your running Shoe new trails in the area? Or if your Surfboard know when the best Swell? Just place the Smartphone on the day the App keep, and the news – appear no Extra, without the hassle of Googling."

“how do I get a replacement part for my mountain bike? How long is the warranty of my sport glasses is still running? How does my t-shirt for as long as possible? These are all questions that can be answered by means of NFC-forwarding directly on the Smartphone," explains Stefan Wolf. “We are closing the gap between the brand and the end consumer.”
