Overview

THE BRIEF.

We recently supported Groupe Petra in building an internal web platform to completely modernize their business cards using NFC technology. In practical terms, each employee now has a smart physical card that redirects to a personalized digital profile: contact information, LinkedIn link, QR code, and one-click contact saving. We developed a complete solution including: • dynamic public profiles for each employee • an internal management system (employees, statistics, photos) • a card customization tool using Petra’s colors • an NFC card ordering module • an interactive guide to program the cards easily All in a high-performing, bilingual platform that’s accessible like a mobile app.

Context

Before the project, Groupe Petra used traditional business cards to support networking and the exchange of contact information among its employees. In a context where contacts are made quickly and across multiple channels, the company also needed to reflect its brand identity consistently. Employees needed a simple digital reference point to share, suited to mobile use and professional links like LinkedIn.

The challenge

Groupe Petra needed to modernize its business cards without complicating the experience for employees or for the people they met. It was necessary to centralize the management of profiles, photos, and up-to-date information, while maintaining control over the brand image. The company also needed to support the full cycle, from card customization to ordering, then to guided and easy NFC card programming.

The solution

Tecnova developed an internal web platform that linked a physical NFC card to a personalized public digital profile for each employee, including contact information, LinkedIn link, QR code, and one-click contact saving. The agency delivered dynamic public profiles and an internal management system to administer employees, photos, and statistics. A customization tool made it possible to adapt the cards to Petra’s colors, along with an NFC card ordering module. Tecnova also integrated an interactive guide to simplify card programming, within a bilingual interface that’s accessible like a mobile app.
