Implementation Flow

How this pass architecture works

From customer onboarding to real-time wallet push synchronization.

01

Credential Provisioning

HR / Security system issues secure digital credential to employee or visitor phone.

02

Zone & Floor Permissions

Access groups and permission schedules are assigned and enforced server-side.

03

Turnstile / Gate Entry

NFC tap or encrypted 2D barcode grants contactless entry at authorized doors.

04

Instant Revocation

One API call deactivates the pass and revokes entry credentials across all readers.
