UNDERSTANDING THE CHALLENGE

ISPS Control, without gate disruption

Terminals must maintain strict ISPS compliance while keeping gate operations moving. In practice, approvals and visitor access are often coordinated across emails, calls and spreadsheets.

Fragmented registrations

Requests arrive via email, calls and forwarded messages.

No clear pre-arrival visibility

No clear view of who is expected and approved.

Manual approvals

Back-and-forth slows response and increases workload.

Gate delays

Incomplete data creates waiting times and pressure.

THE SOLUTION

PRE-GATE VERIFICATION

Three-step verification before access approval

Identity and company verification are completed before access approval, ensuring that only verified visitors reach the terminal gate.

Automatic

Identity document verification

Passport and government ID validation ensures documents are authentic and valid before approval.

  • Expiration validation
  • Passport and government ID support
Real-time

Biometric identity verification

Live face verification confirms that the visitor matches the identity document before access is approved.

  • Live photo verification
  • Biometric face match
  • Liveness and anti-spoofing detection
Database validation

Company verification

Organizations are validated against official registries to confirm legitimate business affiliation.

  • Company registry validation
  • Organization identity verification

OPTIONAL GATE FLOW

Turn approved access into secure gate entry

Approved visitors receive a time-bound QR pass that can be scanned at the terminal gate, enabling faster entry and automatic access logging.

Time-bound digital access

Approved visitors receive a QR pass linked to their verified access request.

Scan-based gate validation

The QR code is checked against approval and visit status at the point of entry.

Automatic check-in and check-out logging
