The old way
What breaks today.
The manual is gone. The error code isn't.
Two years in, something blinks. The paper manual is long gone. The customer stands in front of the appliance, searching a model number into Google at 9pm.
Support calls for simple questions
Most appliance support calls are basic: how do I reset this, what does E3 mean, when do I descale. A guide on the device would answer all of them before the call is made.
Great content, wrong place
Maintenance videos, error code libraries, repair guides — they exist. But they're on a website, buried under search results, disconnected from the moment someone needs them.
Real applications
Tap the appliance. Get the answer.
A Tapora NFC badge turns any physical product into a self-service support hub - no app, no searching, no waiting on hold.
Coffee machines
Descaling reminders, brew recipes, warranty registration - all one tap away.
Dishwashers
Filter cleaning schedules, error code lookups, programme guides - no more searching model numbers.
Microwaves
Cooking guides, child lock instructions, power level charts - stuck right to the door.
How it works
Three steps.
Stick the badge
Peel and stick a Tapora NFC badge directly onto the appliance - inside the door, on the side panel, under the lid. Wherever the user will look first.
Tap at the moment of need
One tap opens the guide instantly - no searching, no app, no login. QR backup means it works on every phone without exception.
Always the right version
Update your instructions once in the dashboard. Every badge on every unit worldwide now shows the new content - no recall, no reprint.
Where it works
If you can stick it, you can tap it.
Kitchen appliances
Error codes, descaling schedules, filter cleaning - on the door where they're needed most
Gym & fitness equipment
Maintenance intervals, belt tension, lubrication guides - on the machine, not in a file on someone's computer
Workshop & power tools
Blade change safety, calibration guides, and troubleshooting sequences - on the tool itself
HVAC & heat pumps
Filter replacement reminders, error code libraries, seasonal service checklists - always accessible, always current
Bikes & e-scooters
Tyre pressure specs, chain maintenance intervals, battery charge limits - one tap from the frame
Medical & care equipment
Cleaning protocols, calibration steps, consumable replacement - correct version always on the device
Why it works
Help that's always there.
Works on any appliance or equipment
Coffee machines, dishwashers, washing machines, gym gear, power tools, flat-pack furniture - if you can stick a badge to it, you can put the manual on it.
Instructions at the moment of need
People don't search for guides - they give up. A badge on the appliance puts help where the frustration happens, exactly when it happens.
Update without reprinting
Add a new maintenance step, swap a video link, push a safety revision - it's live across every badge ever attached, instantly.
Link to anything
Point to a PDF, a YouTube video, a support chat, a spare parts page, or a service booking form. One badge, the full support journey.
QR backup = 100% reach
Every badge has NFC and a printed QR code. Older phones, thick cases, NFC disabled - the QR fallback catches every interaction.
See where instructions are failing
Tap analytics show which appliances are being scanned, when, and how often. Real signal on where your documentation is letting users down.
