RFID & Social Media
ODIN was the first RFID company to completely integrate RFID & Facebook with a system called EasyConnect which allow users to automatically Like and Check-In on their Facebook page through the use of an RFID tag. This is based on the system deployed by Vail Resorts at hundreds of locations across its five mountain resorts in 2010 (Video). The system was used at the Dew tour as well as trade shows, events and marketing activities. Information Week calls the combination of RFID & Social media putting Facebook on "auto pilot".ODIN has operations in Ashburn, Virginia USA, Boston, MA, Dublin, Ireland, Toulouse, FR and Budapest Hungary. ODIN serves clients on five continents and 50 countries. The company is privately held by employees with no venture capital investment.
