Partner

BadgePass is a security software company that develops identity and activity management systems for access control, photo ID issuance, visitor management, and credential tracking.

Wanting to offer mobile credentials and more dynamic access workflows, they explored integrations with several hardware vendors, but ran into issues with fragmented integrations with different requirements for each vendor, slow rollout timelines, limited remote issuing capabilities, and an inability to centrally manage cloud-native credentials across sites. BadgePass needed a modernized credential issuance backend that could support both physical badges and wallet-native credentials at scale, without having to replace existing hardware.

Solution

BadgePass chose to partner with AccessGrid because they delivered platform maturity, extensive hardware compatibility, a quick implementation process, and a lower-cost, higher-return path to wallet-native credentials versus building bespoke integrations.

BadgePass integrated AccessGrid's credential provisioning APIs into its Identity and Access Management Suite and was able to:

  • Issue secure digital credentials directly into Apple Wallet or Google Wallet
  • Centralize identity and access control policy management
  • Remotely manage door access permissions, including revocation, via cloud dashboard
  • Integrate with and support existing door hardware systems and physical badge workflows
  • Roll out residential upgrades at multiple customer sites with minimal on-site configuration

With AccessGrid's API approach, BadgePass benefitted from an accelerated, streamlined rollout across multiple facilities including education campuses, corporate offices, and healthcare locations.
