ShowID is the most secure authorization tool available. Access controllers of controlled facilities and their visitors need to quickly and reliably determine that someone is authorized to enter. Think of a mechanic who has to carry out planned maintenance at a factory. How do you know for sure that it is the right person who is expected? With ShowID this is quick and easy. The mechanic is authorized for a specific appointment by his employer - possibly checked via the Chamber of Commerce trade register. The access controller can easily check this at the gate, without having to rely on a company card shown by the visitor. This is a much more reliable way than with self-issued cards. And above all cheaper!
As a visitor to highly secured locations, you want to get in quickly. After all, time is money. But it makes sense that visitor access is well controlled. Part of the admission process takes place prior to the visit. But sometimes there is an urgency, and things have to be arranged quickly. In such cases, the preparation can fail, or the reservation system cannot handle it. Even with strongly changing visitors or a lot of ad hoc visitors, the reservation can sometimes go wrong. ShowID prevents this kind of situation. The 4 basic steps of ShowID are explained below. Simple, fast but above all very safe.
Directors and officers of visiting suppliers who - if necessary - have been verified on the basis of the Chamber of Commerce Trade Register grant one-time or periodic ShowID authorization to employees. This permission is an authorization for an employee to visit a specific facility at a specified time.
The access manager displays a dynamic QR code. The visiting supplier employee clicks on the ShowID authorization received on their own smartphone, after which the camera is automatically started. The visitor scans the QR code of the access manager.
