Student ID Management solutions for higher education

“Empower students and staff with seamless, campus-wide access—available as a digital card on mobile devices or a physical card.”

Within the education sector, one of the most important aspects of ensuring a safe and efficient environment for students and staff is through effective and accurate identity management systems. This includes the issuance of student IDs, which serve as proof of enrolment and identification within the campus.

Traditionally, students and staff ID issuance has been a time-consuming and complicated process, involving multiple steps such as data entry, card printing at a service desk, and manual distribution. This not only creates delays in providing access to essential services but also requires significant resources from educational institutions. Moreover, the physical nature of these IDs makes them prone to damage, loss, and theft.
