Getting Started with Scannable NFC Tags

Scannable NFC Tags work with all NFC-enabled mobile phones. 

This Getting Started guide will help you get set up, and scan like a pro.

Three important tips before you begin.
Step 01
Find the location of your phone’s antenna, or NFC “sweet spot”
This makes reading our tags just that little bit easier - especially the small ones. Check out this blog if you need a little help finding your phone’s sweet spot.
Step 02
Metal equipment needs
on-metal tags
If attaching a tag to metal, make sure you use our on-metal tags, or another tag designed to be placed on metal. You'll have a hard time getting your phone to read a tag that’s not designed to be placed on metal.
Step 03
Cleaning your gear helps the tags to stick
We recommend you clean the surface you are sticking your tags onto so that it is free of oil, grease, dirt, or other substances that will weaken the adhesive bond.
Step 01

Download the App

Download our free app from the App Store or Google Play and sign up for an account so that you can start adding equipment to your inventory.

Step 02

Search for the item you want to add

Start by tapping the Scannable logo to search for your item.

Use the search tab to search by name or part number, or try scanning the packaging barcode.

Step 03

Add the item to your inventory

Add the item’s serial number, batch number, date of manufacture, and date of first use, and select ‘Add to Inventory’.

If there is a QR or data matrix code etched on your item, try using the camera to capture the item’s serial number.

Step 04

Link the NFC tag to your item

Select “Options”, then “Add NFC”. Hold the NFC tag against your phone’s NFC Sweet Spot, and give it a few moments to read.

Step 05

You’re all set!

Your item is now phone-scannable! From here, just hit the Scannable logo, select ‘Scan NFC’ to launch the scanner, and hold your phone against the NFC tag to manage your item.
