We are digitizing Czech culture and changing the traditional form of payment, and we have big plans

Who are we?

Our ambition is to build a global company, global products

It must work!

From the beginning, we built our payment philosophy on a simple rule, which often seems like an almost unattainable dream. It must work under any circumstances. This allows us to offer the sellers the fastest payments on festivals and give event organizers a new perspective on what is happening at their events.

History of NFCtron through the eyes of Václav Jaroš

Tribe—new corporate structure of NFCtron

Nautilus

Core

Events

Nebula

Our biggest challenge is growth. In 2024, NFCtron is active in the Czech Republic, Slovakia, and Austria, employing more than 50 permanent team members. We are now entering a new era of NFCtron. We have big plans concerning payment services, and for that reason, we have prepared a new dynamic corporate structure that we will build upon in the coming years. The Core Tribe focuses on services for organizers and vendors, while the Events Tribe ensures the deployment of the system at events and festivals. Nautilus Tribe is working on developing a modern terminal in mobile devices, and Tribe Nebula is creating payment products for event visitors.

What's happening here

In NFCtron, the journey is the goal destination. We have vowed to innovate constantly and, when necessary, start over.

Our Journey

The Rosé Wine Festival

The event starts at 2:00 PM. Half an hour later, not a single chip is charged, and the app is full of errors. The signal keeps dropping at sales points because the NFCtron system has to be online continuously. This experience has proven to be crucial in our further development.
All for NFCtron

An important decision is coming in April 2018. Alongside Václav Jaroš stands Honza Šimek, and together with other team members, they officially established the NFCtron a. s. The telephone rings just after a few weeks; an unknown number is calling. The organizer of the SÁZAVAFEST music festival wonders whether the NFCtron solution would work at his event. We are cheering and setting up; it works! And we celebrate our first important success.
The entry of a strategic financial partner

In the same year, we manage an event without a system outage. It may seem like a given, but in reality, it is a great success. Libor Němeček is interested in the whole system, and after a few months, he became the company's strategic financial partner and helped us prepare for the season of 2019. We are ready to go all out, with over 90 upcoming events.
A bittersweet event break

The global pandemic is making events impossible, and no one is happy. We are faced with a difficult decision about the further existence of NFCtron, and ultimately, we choose the path of risk. The cultural pause gives us time and space to innovate. We put on masks and built our own development team. NFCtron Plus and NFCtron Pass, the first-generation ticketing sales portal, are born.
An unexpected takeoff

Culture is beginning to awaken after an infinitely long pause, and we are waiting to see what happens. Finally, we can hardly believe our eyes because we are participating in Rock for People: HOPE and Let It Roll: SAVE THE RAVE, events surpassing anything we have experienced. And because we love a challenge, we also throw ourselves into an unprecedented logistical operation. We have 11 events in one weekend, a situation that was unimaginable a few months ago.
A small step for a person, a big step for NFCtron

On April 22, 2022, we are hosting the NFCtron Keynote, our first conference. We are introducing new features in the NFCtron Hub and the brand-new NFCtron Bianca app. Our event time space is starting to fill up with events. NFCtron payments are used at over 250 festivals and one-time events, from Rammstein concerts to Rock for People and Let It Roll.
We are building the company structure

Before the busy 2022 season, we are undergoing our most significant transformation as a company. The main changes occur mainly in the event team, which moves entirely to Prague. Shortly before the season begins, Lucie Veľasová joins us as COO, the final piece to the NFCtron puzzle. Now we are ready to go to infinity and beyond.
NFCtron Keynote 2023

Další ročník konference, na které odhalujeme, co se děje v hlubinách NFCtron vesmíru, vítá více než 300 účastníků. Přibližujeme jim naše ambiciózní plány a navazujeme cenná partnerství. Poprvé odhalujeme co se děje v hlubinách vesmíru NFCtron současnosti i budoucnosti.
Project Nautilus

We introduce the revolutionary NFCtron Nautilus mobile payment terminal, an application built on SoftPOS technology. Roman Kuchařík, NFCtron Lead Mobile Developer, uses the technology to materialize our vision: to provide the fastest and most convenient payment experience for all customers and sellers. The mobile terminal is just the beginning of our journey, the first step forward in the event revolution.
Nebulas are the birthplace of stars

In the depths of code, Filip Ditrich, Lead Team NFCtron, and his team are creating the project Nebula. Something that has never been seen before on the festival market. It is a platform that will connect visitors across festivals and one-time events, enhancing the guests' experiences and providing even more benefits to organizers. Coming soon.
Aplikace NFCtron dobývá trh v Česku i na Slovensku

V roce 2024 zaznamenáváme výrazný nárůst akcí, které využívají NFCtron i pro předprodej vstupenek a prodej vstupenek během akce. Aplikace NFCtron pro iOS a Android se po celou festivalovou sezonu stala nejstahovanější Fintech aplikací na App Store i Google Play.
Společně s Mastercard jsme rozdělili přes 12 000 000 Kč

Na NFCtron Keynote 2024 jsme oznámili podporu 500 000 EUR pro festivaly díky Mastercard. Společně s tím jsme připravili aktivní kampaň, abychom pomohli festivalům s vylepšováním digitálních služeb pro návštěvníky akcí.
Koncert AC DC pro 120 000 lidí

Největší jednorázová akce na počet návštěvníků pro NFCtron? V roce 2024 se jí stal koncert AC DC v Bratislavě. Pro NFCtron to znamenalo připravit více než 250 dobíjecích míst a prodejcům rozdat přes 500 prodejních zařízení.
Nové kanceláře pro NFCtron

Největší výzvou NFCtron je růst. Proto jsme na adrese Vyskočilova 1410 na více než 2000 metrech čtverečních připravili moderní kanceláře s kapacitou až 120 členů. Pro nové členy jsou připravené unikátní inkubátory, od kterých má každý šanci se posunout do ambiciózních týmů napříč všemi Tribe NFCtron.
