What Are NFC Asset Tags?
NFC (Near Field Communication) is a close range subset of RFID that works within a few centimeters of your smartphone, similar to contactless payment technology.
GoCodes combines tracking technology with cloud software and smartphone scanner apps to give your team complete visibility over every asset, in every location, at every moment.
Rugged Labels
RFID + NFC are embedded in industrial grade labels that
survive heat, moisture, chemicals, and impact.
Scan With Any Device
Scan with any modern phone. No $3,000 dedicated
readers or $561 mobile RFID add ons needed.
Cloud Software
Real time dashboards, reports, and alerts. Your data is
always current and accessible from anywhere.
Chain of Custody
Complete audit trail of who had what, where, and when.
High Security Check In / Check Out
Confirm physical possession of an asset. The close range requirement ensures the person is actually at the asset, not scanning from across the room.
Calibration Verification
Technicians must physically scan the instrument to confirm it has been inspected. Creates an auditable record with timestamp and GPS location.
Tool Crib Management
Equipment is issued and returned at a controlled point. NFC scanning ensures accurate logging of every tool movement in and out of the crib.

What is the difference between RFID and NFC asset tracking?
RFID uses radio waves to identify tagged assets from a distance (up to 12 meters for active tags). NFC is a close range subset of RFID that works within a few centimeters, similar to contactless payment. GoCodes labels include both technologies so you can use whichever method fits your workflow.
Do I need special equipment to scan NFC tags?
No! GoCodes’ NFC tags can be scanned using any modern smartphone with the GoCodes app installed. No dedicated handheld readers required, though GoCodes supports them for bulk scanning workflows.
How long do NFC tracking labels last?
They can last 10+ years in normal conditions. GoCodes patented rugged labels are designed for trades and industry environments. They withstand UV exposure, chemicals, moisture, extreme temperatures, and physical impact.
What industries use NFC asset tracking?
NFC asset tracking is used across construction, utilities, energy, facilities management, manufacturing, warehousing, government, healthcare, and education. GoCodes is specifically designed for trades and industry teams that manage tools, equipment, and instruments across multiple locations.
How quickly can I set up GoCodes?
Most teams are fully operational within one day. Import your existing asset list (even from a spreadsheet), apply the rugged labels, and start scanning. No IT department or complex integration required.
Does GoCodes work offline?
Yes! The GoCodes mobile app works offline and syncs all scans and updates when connectivity returns. This is essential for field teams working in areas with limited cell service.
