About The TACX
The TACX offers a digital business card and mini-website solution powered by NFC technology. By tapping their card on a smartphone, users can instantly share their contact information, social profiles, website, and custom links, removing the need for physical cards and app downloads.
The Challenge
Contact sharing over NFC is still new to many people, and Tacx had to work for solo professionals and full company teams. Six problems shaped the build:
Resistance to new technology: Many users hesitate to try NFC contact sharing, so the product had to make its benefits clear from the first tap.
Different customization needs: Individual cards and company cards ask for different layouts, branding, and details.
Information overload: Users want to store a lot of information, but the people scanning a card need to see the key details fast.
A builder anyone can use: The card and mini-website builder had to stay simple for people with no design or technical background.
Device compatibility: Cards needed to work across different NFC-enabled devices.
Data security: Contact details shared over NFC are sensitive and needed proper protection.
Our Approach
01
User-friendly Guides for Adoption
We created guides that explain how NFC sharing works and what it does for the user, which eases the hesitation around a new technology.
02
Customizable Templates for Every Card Type
We offered a range of templates for both individual and company cards, so each can match its own needs and brand.
03
User-controlled Sharing
We let users choose which details are scanned, so a card can hold a lot of information while each tap shows only what the user wants to share.
04
Drag-and-drop Interface
We designed an intuitive builder where users create pages from templates or from scratch.
05
Compatibility Testing
Our QA team tested the platform extensively across different NFC-enabled devices.
06
Encryption Protocols
We implemented strong encryption to protect the contact details people share.
FINAL OUTCOME
Web App Ui
Results & Impact
Tacx gives professionals and companies a modern replacement for paper business cards. With one tap, a contact lands on the other person’s phone along with a mini-website that shows who they are and what they do.

Tyreoo oversees goods transportation and fleet operations for clients ranging from a single vehicle to an entire fleet. Managers needed live visibility, faster responses to maintenance and driver issues, and reports they could act on, all in one platform.

This clothing manufacturer does the hard part well – producing men’s apparel out of Ahmedabad, India, at real production scale. The existing system wasn’t carrying its weight: the Laravel and Angular codebase needed optimization, and inventory and sales features needed rebuilding for a more secure, user-centric experience.

Ecommerce / Premium Bedding and ERP Order Management
Highgrove is a UK premium bedding brand that ran sales and orders on a desktop ERP. Manual order handling, inconsistent pricing, and weak access control called for a secure web app connected to its existing Sage system.

Praiki connects verified clients with verified professionals across Africa. Hiring there ran through social media and referrals, so trust, scope, payment, and reputation all depended on chance.
This data platform turns scattered fleet and driver information into something a sales team can actually use. Collecting it by hand wasn’t sustainable: public sources are unstructured and often outdated, so the work needed a single system that scrapes, cleans, and organizes records, then makes them easy to search, filter, and turn into leads.

This scheduling platform brings physicians, facilities, and medical vendors into one place, with availability, OR rooms, and vendor requests all visible together. The old way wasn’t holding up: three groups working from separate calendars needed a single connected system that syncs with Google and Outlook and pulls patient data from major EHRs, deployed on AWS with DynamoDB.

HWA does the hard part well – connecting clients with verified holistic practitioners across yoga, nutrition therapy, hypnotherapy, and chiropractic care. The old process wasn’t carrying its weight: practitioners and clients coordinated sessions through separate tools and manual communication, with no shared system for bookings, packages, or payments.

Clutch Up does the hard part well – bringing the fantasy sports format users already understand into competitive esports tournaments. The platform wasn’t carrying its weight yet: tournament and player data needed to stay accurate in real time, and esports rosters change mid-event in ways traditional fantasy models don’t handle.

Book Your Notary does the hard part well – connecting customers with a bilingual notary team for documents that need remote notarization. The old process wasn’t carrying its weight: arranging in-person appointments turned a simple requirement into a recurring hassle, without cutting the corners that make notarization valid.

BriefMate does the hard part well – automatically renaming legal documents and assembling court-ready briefs for Australian law firms. The old process wasn’t carrying its weight: paralegals spent days downloading, converting, ordering, and indexing files by hand, with inconsistent naming that made documents hard to find later.
DHE Parts does the hard part well – distributing roughly 200,000 SKUs of heavy-equipment components to fleet operators and dealer networks. The ERP wasn’t carrying its weight: quote-to-order handoff lost information constantly, and vendor price updates were a two-week manual project run by hand across dozens of sheets.
