NEC launches first-of-its-kind RFID-enabled customer card, NECare Customer Card

SINGAPORE, 27 December 2005 – Launching the first-of-its-kind RFID-enabled customer card, NEC Solutions Asia Pacific Pte Ltd is set to revolutionise customers’ experience with NECare Customer Card. NECare Customer Card will store relevant details of customer’s purchase, warranty programme and service records. The details are updated in its central database for easy and quick retrieval.

As customer flashes his/her NECare Customer Card on the reader at our service centre, NECare Centre, the information will be presented instantly to the attending Customer Service Officer who can answer the query and provide the necessary service. This will save the customer from the hassle of filling in personal particulars while, at the same time, enable the Customer Service Officer to provide prompt service without having to waste unnecessary time checking for past records as NEC has the information on hand.

NECare Customer Card also doubles up as a product warranty card and Privilege Customer Card. This translates into convenience for customers who are spared from the hassle of carrying warranty cards or purchase receipt for every visit to NECare Centre. In addition, card holders will enjoy exclusive benefits and receive regular updates of seasonal promotions throughout the year.

“With the incorporation of NEC’s ‘Ubiquitous Can Change’ concept and the utilisation of advanced RFID technology, NEC is proud to be the first in to introduce RFID-enabled customer-centric card.
