ServeU, a subsidiary of Union Properties and a leading facilities management (FM) solutions provider in the UAE, launched an NFC-Powered Smart Asset Tagging solution on Microsoft Dynamics 365 platform, signifying a remarkable upgrade from the conventional QR or Bar code system. The move comes in line with ServeU’s efforts to advance the FM sector by offering latest technological innovations.

ServeU uses NFC based Chips as assets tags, making it discrete and aligned to the aesthetics of current UAE buildings. The state-of-the-art in-house development offers outstanding security and transparency, with the assets’ information readable only through the ServeU AI TaskMaster App and ServeU Customer App. The information in the NFC tags is encrypted and securely kept in ServeU’s CAFM system. ServeU has expanded the potential of asset management beyond tagging for inventory lists to improving customer experience by allowing consumers to monitor their asset's history, submit maintenance breakdown schedules, and raise service tickets with its NFC tags.

The new NFC tags signify the efficiency of ServeU’s operational teams to independently create assets, tag them and update assets information actively, without back-office shuffle. It further demonstrates ServeU’s commitment to fostering technological advancements in the industry. Additionally, the launch helps ServeU enhance customer experiences, ensuring a smarter, seamless and sustainable means of facility management.
