Re: WayAround

[Chris Chaffin]

Not exactly.  WayAround Tags are NFC tags that come in different forms; stickers, magnets, plastic clips, round buttons with a hole, etc.  So you are not scanning any codes.  Just hold the phone close to it, and it tells you what is on the tag.

Very easy to use with smart phone and you can add as much as information on each tag (RFI) as you need. I like to add the color, Brand, Size and where I purchased the shirt, pants etc. on the tag. These never failed me so far and Customer service is very nice.
