ID card and credential management at the centre of your system

CardExchange® Controller is the core of the Cloud Suite. It stores all cardholder data, manages the credential workflow from initial request through to approval and issuance, and connects every other component in the suite. From Controller, administrators can manage access permissions, approve or reject uploaded photos, set up custom workflows around how cards get issued, and maintain a live view of every credential in circulation. Controller is the one component every Cloud Suite setup requires as everything else connects to it.

Key capabilities: cardholder enrolment, photo verification, workflow automation, credential issuance, access permission management.

Central configuration and user management

CardExchange® Admin Center is the day-to-day management interface for your entire Cloud Suite setup. It gives administrators a single place to configure the system, create and manage user roles, assign permissions, set up automated workflows and manage groups and filters. The admin interface is designed to be straightforward enough for a new administrator to pick up quickly, while offering the depth of control that larger organisations need. Changes made in Admin Center take effect across the whole system in real time.

Key capabilities: user role assignment, group management, workflow configuration, real-time system updates, permissions control.

Stand offers impressive instant access from anywhere, right from your phone. The mobile credential app is the modern way of issuing and managing IDs - both digital or physical cards.

Key Benefits:

• Instant access from anywhere
• Digital cards prevents physical cards being lost
• Easy-to-use interface for all users
• Seamless connectivity between access control systems (HID/Salto etc)

Card design, production and encoding in the cloud

CardExchange® Press handles the card design and card production side of the Cloud Suite, providing a full set of tools for creating professional ID cards and badges with your own branding, logos, colours and layouts. Press supports high-volume print runs, multiple card layouts per template, and a wide range of compatible card printers from leading manufacturers. It also handles card encoding for magnetic stripe, contactless and smart card technologies, so the same workflow can produce a simple photo ID or a fully encoded access control credential. Press connects directly to cardholder data in Controller, so cards are always printed with accurate, up-to-date information.

Key capabilities: ID card design, unlimited card templates, batch card production, encoding support, compatible with leading card printers.

Data synchronisation and system integration

CardExchange® Bridge is the integration layer of the Cloud Suite, connecting your credential management system to the external data sources and third-party applications your organisation already relies on. Bridge can sync cardholder data automatically from a number of different platforms, including HR platforms, student management systems, internal databases and other data sources, eliminating duplicate manual data entry and keeping records accurate across every connected system without the need for manual, insecure sharing. It supports multiple integration methods including REST API, making it adaptable to a wide range of existing infrastructure setups.

Key capabilities: automated data synchronisation, HR and database integration, real-time updates, multi-system connectivity, manual data entry elimination.

Single sign-on access across the entire Cloud suite

CardExchange® Secure is the single sign-on service built into the CardExchange® Cloud Suite, giving staff fast and seamless access to every application through one secure login. The platform supports widely used providers, as well as any identity management system compatible with OpenID Connect, allowing organisations to integrate the suite with their existing authentication processes. For IT teams, centralised access management simplifies onboarding, role changes and offboarding, as access can be granted, updated or revoked across the entire suite. For end users, it removes the frustration of managing multiple usernames and passwords, creating an efficient experience.

Key capabilities: single sign-on, centralised authentication, simplified onboarding and offboarding, reduced security risk, Open ID Connect support.
