How Tagits works.
Tagits puts the instructions for each thing in a holiday let on the thing itself. A printed tag goes on the hot tub, the boiler, the log burner or the Wi-Fi router. A guest taps it or scans it, and the page for that object opens in their browser.
Three steps to a working tag.
The tags arrive in the post.
Printed, coded and locked, so a guest’s phone can’t rewrite one. There’s nothing to print, laminate or stick up crooked.
Tap each tag to claim it.
Signed in on your phone, tap a tag, pick the property and say what it is on: the hot tub, the boiler, the Wi-Fi router. The tag is yours from that tap.
Write the page.
A title, a few short steps, and a link to a video if you have one. Edit it from your phone whenever something changes. The tag stays as it is.
Three ways to open every tag.
- An NFC chip. Hold a phone to it.
- A QR code. Point any phone camera at it.
- A short printed code. Read it out if you ever need help with that tag.
All three open the same page. Metal blocks an ordinary NFC tag, so the hot tub panel, the boiler, the fridge and the fire extinguisher get tags made to work on metal.
What a guest sees.
A guest sees one object and one answer, in large type, on a page built to load on weak rural signal. There’s no sign-in, no app and no menu to search.
On a phone set to dark mode the page turns black with yellow type, which suits a hot tub at night. A guest who reads another language can use their phone’s own page translation, because the page is plain text. If something isn’t working, one button on the page emails you and names the object.
A tag for something you would rather not leave open, like the Wi-Fi password or a key safe code, can ask for a PIN first.
Three tags to try
A tag isn’t a guidebook.
A digital guidebook is one document behind one link. The guest has to find it, open it and search it. A tag sits on the thing they are stuck on and opens the page for that thing alone.
Tagits has no local recommendations, maps or guest messaging, on purpose. If you have a guidebook you like, keep it.
The same tags keep the safety record.
Put a tag on each smoke alarm, CO alarm, fire extinguisher and fire blanket. A guest who taps one sees how to use it. You or your cleaner, signed in, get the changeover check.
How the safety log worksCommon questions
Which phones can read a Tagits tag?
iPhones from the XS (2018) onwards read the NFC chip when held to the tag, and so do Android phones with NFC switched on. Every other phone with a camera scans the QR code printed on the tag. Both open the same page in the phone’s browser.
Do the tags work on metal?
An ordinary NFC tag doesn’t, because metal blocks the signal. The hot tub panel, the boiler, the fridge and the fire extinguisher get tags made to work on metal. The QR code on a tag works on any surface.
Can a guest change or copy a tag?
No. Each tag is locked when it is made, so a phone can’t rewrite it. The tag holds only a web address with a random code. The page it opens is edited from your account and nowhere else.
What happens if I move a tag or lose one?
A tag moved to another object is relabelled in your account and its page changes with it. Each unit gets two free replacements a year for lost or damaged tags: ask from the tag’s page, tap the new one when it comes, and the page moves across. After that a replacement is £2.50 plus £1.50 postage.
What does Tagits record about my guests?
Each time a tag is opened, Tagits records which tag and when, so you can see which tags guests use most. It doesn’t ask who the guest is, and guests never sign in.
£99 for the first year, tags included.
Then £49 a year, or £4.99 a month, for each property. To see it working first, set up one object free with a QR sign you print yourself.
