In today’s fast-paced operations, efficiency and accuracy in data entry are critical.
Near Field Communication (NFC) technology provides businesses with a modern solution: a simple tap enables instant identification and data exchange, seamlessly connecting physical assets with digital systems.
With Yeeflow’s NFC Reader Action, you can easily integrate NFC into your workflows without coding. From asset inspections and warehouse logistics to field service operations, NFC and barcodes/QR codes complement each other, giving businesses versatile tools to improve traceability, accuracy, and automation.
What is Yeeflow NFC?
The NFC Reader Action in Yeeflow allows you to read NFC tag data within a form or workflow and automatically save the result to a variable. With a single tap, users can:
- Instantly pull up forms or work orders
- Prefill key information such as device IDs, order numbers, or storage locations
- Trigger subsequent actions such as approvals, record updates, or notifications
How to enable:
Click Action in the top-right of a form → select NFC Reader step → configure execution conditions, variable mapping, and error handling.
Typical Business Scenarios
🔧 Asset & Equipment Inspection
Inspection staff tap an NFC tag attached to equipment. Yeeflow automatically captures the DeviceId, pulls historical records, and opens the inspection form. After completing the checklist, results are submitted and stored instantly, with alerts sent for any anomalies.
Value: Reduce manual errors, speed up inspections, and ensure traceable records.
📦 Warehouse Receiving and Delivery
Warehouse staff scan NFC tags on goods or pallets to instantly capture OrderNo or Batch. Yeeflow matches this data to existing records, auto-generates receiving or delivery logs, and updates inventory in real time.
Value: Improve efficiency, reduce mistakes, and make stock management more transparent.
🛠 Field Service & Work Orders
Technicians arriving onsite tap the NFC tag on equipment to open the relevant work order and service history. They record results, attach photos, and submit. Yeeflow can then trigger billing, spare part allocation, or customer follow-ups automatically.
Value: Streamlined operations, fewer missed steps, and improved customer satisfaction.
NFC and Barcode/QR Code as Complements
Conclusion: NFC is more suitable for fixed assets and on-site operations, while barcodes/QR codes are better for disposable tickets or packaging. In many businesses, the two complement each other.
