Digital cloakroom tag features – all in one system
The technology behind reliable cloakroom management
We digitize your cloakroom: the entire process runs digitally – from check-in to pickup. The result: shorter wait times, less staff effort, and full control at peak moments.
Smart Check-in with QR code & NFC
Tapcoat registers each item uniquely via QR code or NFC – no app needed. This prevents mix-ups and integrates existing event tickets or entry passes.
Self Check-in
Tapcoat uses existing QR codes as identifiers and assigns items digitally. This shortens wait times and eliminates the need for extra tickets or apps.
Digital billing & accounting
Tapcoat logs every drop-off and pickup automatically. This automates billing, records, and the handover to your accounting team or tax advisor.
