Tagstand provides NFC-enabled stickers (including outdoor and metal-surface variants), NFC reader/writers, and a web-based control panel to manage tags. The company positions itself to help developers and brands take advantage of NFC technology by supplying hardware and management tools. Its customer mix is roughly one-third businesses and two-thirds engineers and hobbyists. At the time of the article Tagstand was generating five-figure revenues each month. The firm reported about 20,000 stickers deployed, with deployments growing ~50% month over month and per-tag engagement increasing three-fold each month. Much of the growth has been international, including a large smart-poster campaign with Adshel for supermarket chain Coles in Australia, while U.S. NFC deployment was beginning to pick up.
