NFC Authentication

NFC-based Authentication offers versatile, contactless access solutions designed for modern workplaces, ensuring secure and seamless login or multifactor authentication (MFA).

Re-imagine the authentication processes with NFC as a factor

Unified PACS Integration

Seamlessly integrates with almost every physical access control system (PACS), consolidating data from multiple PACS systems and formats within the same organization.

Offline Authentication

NFC authentication supports offline mode for uninterrupted access in low-connectivity environments. Data automatically syncs with the server when connectivity is restored.

Supplemental Factors

For users who opt out of NFC, the platform supports alternative methods such as Face, Badge, QR code, or PIN​. NFC can also be combined for flexible MFA configurations.

NFC Authentication

OLOID’s NFC-based authentication transforms how organizations manage access by utilizing a range of contactless credentials. With its ability to leverage built-in NFC readers on many modern devices, this solution simplifies deployment and minimizes reliance on additional hardware. Unlike RFID, NFC data is typically created independently, allowing organizations to deploy it without relying on pre-existing PACS or HRIS data.
