LiteLog taps into the NFC capabilities of modern smartphones to deliver secure logins, check-ins and approvals. Employees simply hold their corporate card or NFC tag to the device and are uniquely identified without password hassle.


Passwordless logins & multi-factor security

  • Card-to-app authentication: Assign NFC badges to individual employees or roles. One tap in the app signs them in with a digital signature.
  • Location validation: Combine NFC with GPS or geofencing to confirm that users are at the correct site.
  • Layered approvals: Link NFC scans with supervisor or PIN approvals for sensitive actions.

Automated time tracking

  • Shift start on site: Staff scan the NFC tag provided at the workplace. LiteLog records start time, location and team automatically.
  • Task switching by tap: Deploy multiple tags within one location to map activities, cost centres or clients with zero extra input.
  • Offline buffer: Scans remain valid even without connectivity. LiteLog syncs them later and marks them as verified.

Education, access & compliance

  • Campus and training environments: Students or participants check in with existing NFC cards. Lecturers instantly see attendance.
  • Access control: Integrate LiteLog with door or turnstile systems to link entry events to attendance logs.
  • Audit & GDPR: Every interaction stores a tamper-proof hash with timestamp, user and location – ideal for inspections.

Complements QR & terminals

  • Flexible device mix: Run QR codes, NFC scans and browser logins in parallel to meet different security levels.
  • Hardware integration: Keep using corporate ID cards or issue NFC tags as key fobs or stickers.
  • User experience: Staff do not need to open the app – wake the screen, tap the tag, done.

Four-step rollout

  1. Assign tags: Register NFC IDs in the LiteLog portal and link them to user accounts or roles.
  2. Define policies: Decide when additional factors such as GPS or PIN prompts are required.
  3. Train teams: Communicate the new check-in process including security guidelines and support channels.
  4. Monitor & report: Track scan statistics to identify peak times and provide compliance evidence.

Smartphone-based NFC scans combine convenience with strong security. LiteLog keeps every interaction traceable – even in demanding compliance environments.
