Controlsoft integrates HID mobile access

Controlsoft announced that it has integrated mobile access capabilities into its Identity Access Software using the API from the new HID Mobile Access app and Portal software development kits (SDKs). The integration enables customers to issue a card, keyfob or mobile credential on a smart device at the point of onboarding users into Controlsoft’s Identity Access Software, providing customers the added choice of using smartphones and other mobile devices for access control.

As a Platinum member of the HID Advantage Partner Program, Controlsoft works closely with HID Global to leverage their latest technology in secure identity solutions. “Our partnership with HID Global allows Controlsoft to offer our customers a single, comprehensive and integrated solution for access control that can be utilised across corporations, educational institutions, healthcare and property management markets,” said Jonathan Summers, CEO of Controlsoft.

Our mobile access solution is designed to meet the vastly different requirements across partners and end users, said Volker Kunz, sales director, Europe – Physical Access Control Solutions with HID Global. “Controlsoft’s forward thinking approach to providing their customers more choices for convenient and secure access control emphasises the value of using HID Mobile Access SDKs, which makes it possible for partners to deliver a highly customisable solution to their broad customer base.”
