Streamlining the card issuance process is our number one priority at BadgePass. As a result, our card production process ensures that cards are not only printed and personalized but are also activated with a cardholder’s appropriate door access permissions during print, enabling a cardholder to instantly start using their badge on assigned doors.

In BadgePass, when new badges are produced for existing cardholders, lost or stolen credentials (previously issued cards) are automatically deactivated as the new card is printed, ensuring each cardholder only has one active badge in the system at any given moment. Many other systems require multiple systems, and access to multiple systems and databases, to deactivate lost or stolen credentials. This multi-step process often results in more active ID cards in your system than there are actual active cardholders, also known as credential overflow. As cards are used for accessing doors and essentially acting as keys to your building, it becomes increasingly important to minimize this risk to your organization’s security.

When it comes to implementing door access for your facility, the hardware is often the most expensive part of your investment. That is why it is so important to us to partner with industry leading hardware manufacturers like Mercury Security, Allegion, HID and ASSA ABLOY. All the hardware items that we implement with BadgePass Access Manager are non-proprietary, protecting your investment and giving you flexibility that you deserve should your software needs ever change in the future.

Easily create custom security groups within the BadgePass system, allowing cardholder group membership to determine which doors people can access and when. Our advanced scheduling tool allows organizations to create an unlimited number of schedules and holidays and apply those to any doors on the system.

As organizations implement new policies and procedures for emergency evacuations and lockdowns, it becomes increasingly important that your door access control system give you the ability to easily enact a campus-wide lockdown. In an emergency where every second counts, time spent running around locking or unlocking doors to seal off a room, wing or building puts people at risk, both from doors not getting locked in time or from potentially coming into contact with whatever the threat may be. For these reasons, lockout and/or lockdown capabilities are an essential feature for a modern access control system.

Fully integrated with BadgePass Visitor Manager, Access Manager allows facilities to easily grant temporary door access privileges to visitors and other guests. Our customizable QuickPass visitor badge option allows a visitor to automatically be assigned guest-level access upon completion of their check-in process. Then, their movements throughout the facility are automatically updated on the secure on-site list every time they present their badge to a reader. For security purposes, and to minimize the risk of credential overflow, visitor access privileges are automatically revoked as soon as a visitor is checked out.

Easily view access events, including valid and invalid card reads, panel status notifications, specific cardholder activity, and more from a variety of places within the BadgePass system. Our Monitor Pointe application offers a user-friendly interface for viewing all access control events coupled with cardholder photos and details. The system also uses web-based SQL reporting services, offering you easy access to door access details from anywhere you need them.
