AMITYVILLE, N.Y., and RIDGELAND, Miss. – NAPCO Security Technologies today announces the integration between its MVP-EZ and MVP Access cloud-based access control platform and BadgeHub, the credential management and badging platform from BadgePass.
The integration “enables organizations to seamlessly synchronize cardholder information between BadgeHub and NAPCO’s MVP platform, simplifying credential issuance, reducing duplicate data entry and streamlining access management,” according to the joint announcement.
In addition, customers can now print and issue access cards directly from the BadgeHub mobile app. The BadgeHub app prints the credential and automatically configures the cardholder’s door access permissions within MVP Cloud, eliminating manual programming and accelerating employee and visitor onboarding, the announcement says.
Designed to support organizations of all sizes, NAPCO’s MVP cloud-based access ranges from MVP-EZ, a mobile-first solution ideal for smaller installations, to MVP Access, a feature-rich platform offering browser-based management, custom administrative permissions, advanced reporting and multi-site control.
Together, they “provide a scalable path from a few doors and users to thousands, and an affordable monthly flat-rate per door,” according to the joint announcement.
Why Are NAPCO and BadgePass Teaming Up?
“We’re focused on delivering access control solutions that are simple to deploy, easy to manage, and scalable for virtually any application,” says Rob Etmans, director of access control of NAPCO Security Technologies, in the joint announcement.
“The addition of BadgeHub enhances the MVP ecosystem by streamlining credential issuance and cardholder management while helping dealers, locksmiths, integrators and end users deliver a more complete security solution,” he says.
The integration enables human resources, security, facilities and administrative departments to onboard employees and visitors, issue credentials and manage access privileges through “intuitive cloud-based platforms accessible from virtually anywhere,” according to the joint announcement.
Supporting NAPCO’s own cloud-ready access control panels and wireless locking solutions, MVP “provides a unified infrastructure for new and retrofit applications alike,” according to the company announcement. The company continues to expand the MVP platform through strategic technology partnerships.
The BadgePass integration “joins MVP’s growing list of connected solutions, including video integrations with Hanwha Vision and Digital Watchdog, helping customers create more comprehensive security systems,” according to the joint announcement.
“BadgePass is committed to helping organizations improve security and streamline identity management,” said Phillip King, president of BadgePass, in the company announcement. “This integration with NAPCO’s MVP platform combines modern credential issuance with flexible cloud-based access control, creating a more efficient experience for dealers, locksmiths, integrators, and end users alike.”
The BadgeHub integration for MVP-EZ and MVP Access is available now through authorized NAPCO dealers, locksmiths and security integrators, while its access hardware is sold through distributors nationwide.
