ToneTag harnesses the power of sound to build a robust channel of data communication to enable extraordinary experiences across businesses. The technology utilizes a proprietary software which gives way for quick and easy data communication. Being a software element, it can easily be integrated into existing hardware, making it interoperable and platform independent. Protected with multiple layers of security, data security is our number one priority. The technology provides unparalleled convenience and experiences for a multitude of use cases across the payments, retail and mobility sector. We empower small merchants in remote areas to large MNCs to understand, reach and engage with their customers with a simple but futuristic technology. ToneTag was formed in 2013 in the Silicon Valley of India, Bangalore and since then we have cemented ourselves as a pioneer in sound technology. With a vision to constantly innovate, the possibilities of our technology are unlimited.
ToneTag is a sound-wave communication tech platform that allows contactless payment using the sound waves on any device, independent of the instrument or the infrastructure. With SDK integration into Merchant (mobile, POS, EDC) and customer interaction points (m-wallet, m-banking apps), users can send and receive payments without any hardware involvement.
