Fan Connect —Know your fans.Wherever they are.

Connected merchandise for sports, music & esports.

Fan Connect turns every jersey, ticket, scarf, vinyl, and sponsor logo into a tap-point. Anonymous buyers become known fans, you see where in the world they actually are.

What Fan Connect Does

Identify. Locate. Activate.

Three jobs, one loop. Know who your fans are, see where they are in the world, and turn every product and sponsor logo into the connection that pays for it.

  1. 01 / 03

    Identify

    Known Fan

    Turn anonymous buyers into known fans. Every tap on a jersey, ticket, scarf, vinyl or pin builds a first-party profile you actually own — no app required.

    Authenticate

    Cryptographic NFC proves the product is real.

    Reward

    Recognise the fan who paid for the real thing.

    Authenticate + Reward — the dual action that separates real fans from the people who knowingly buy fakes.

  2. 02 / 03

    Locate

    Real Reach

    See where fans actually are in the world — not where you sold to, but where they live, watch, and wear it. A jersey tapped in a Lagos bar, a scarf in a Tokyo bedroom, a vinyl in Berlin.

    Sponsor Value

    Give sponsors what they're paying for: a direct, measurable line to opted-in fans through every sponsored shirt, hat, pin, and logo. Sponsorship becomes commercial, not decorative.

About Fan Connect

Fan Connect is the connected-fan platform for sport, music and esports.

Fan Connect turns physical merchandise, tickets and stadium touchpoints into NFC and QR-activated experiences. A jersey, scarf, vinyl, pin badge or seat becomes a tap-point that identifies the fan, locates them in the world, and opens a direct line for clubs, labels and sponsors.

Built for sport, music and esports, Fan Connect is used by federations, clubs, labels and brand partners worldwide to own first-party fan data and prove sponsor value from impression to redemption.
