Is there a new product of service you want to tell us about?
NFC Wallet Mobile Credential Management – The Alert Enterprise Guardian platform manages the entire NFC mobile wallet credential lifecycle for Apple and Google wallet, so your campus card and security teams can ensure the most convenient and secure front-end experience alongside back-end control. Think better automation, smarter data analytics and all-around stronger governance.
Based on student’s course enrollment in every semester, their access can be adjusted for various departments. Same applies for athletes - their locker, gym access can be controlled based on their sport. Gone are the days of resource intensive and risky custom scripting to manage all access combinations.
Building access is only the beginning as the platform seamlessly interacts with many campus services.
