Modernize warehouse security with open standard mobile credentials that offer interoperability with multiple access control systems
Warehouses and distribution centres can now modernize physical access without replacing a single reader or retiring existing physical keycards or fobs. Open standard mobile credentials simply sit alongside legacy infrastructure, giving different parts of the workforce the choice of credential type that suits them best, with no disruption and no hard transition. For multi-site operators running different access control systems across their facilities, open standard mobile credentials offer cross-system compatibility, meaning one mobile credential works across multiple sites and systems. The result is a more secure, flexible, and manageable access environment that operators can adopt incrementally, at their own pace.
Find out how multi-site logistics operators are taking a smarter, more flexible approach to introducing mobile access to their facilities.
How visitor management, check-in, and time and attendance platforms can enhance their value by embedding mobile access credentials
As commercial real estate shifts toward mixed-use environments, legacy access systems relying on physical cards and key fobs are increasingly inefficient and insecure. Managing thousands of occupants, employees, visitors, contractors, and service teams, across multiple areas quickly overwhelms traditional badge-based systems.
Open-standard mobile credentials provide a modern and flexible solution. Mobile credentials allow secure, remote issuance, instant activation, and easy revocation. They integrate with existing access infrastructure, eliminating hardware upgrades and enabling phased deployment.
By combining convenience, enhanced security, and operational flexibility, mobile access empowers property managers to efficiently manage users across complex, mixed-use buildings while reducing administrative overhead and improving tenant experience.
A short guide to Public Key Open Credential (PKOC)
We’ve put together a short guide on Public Key Open Credential (PKOC). This guide answers what PKOC is and why it is important for the future of enterprise access, plus how it can now be practically rolled out for enterprise-level deployment at scale.
If you have questions over PKOC or if your enterprise should be thinking about implementing it this is the guide for you.
