Guide for Tenants Implementing a Single Credential Access System with BluSKY

Introduction

Managing multiple access cards or credentials for different areas within a building can be cumbersome for both tenants and their employees. With BluSKY's unified credentialing solution, you can streamline this process by enabling a single credential to grant access to both the base building and your own tenant space.

This guide provides a step-by-step approach for tenants to implement this solution, outlining the benefits, the necessary steps, and how BluSKY and BluB0X can assist you throughout the process.

Benefits of a Unified Credential System

• Enhanced Convenience: Employees use a single credential—be it a card, mobile device, or biometric identifier—to access all authorized areas.
• Improved Security: Centralized management ensures immediate revocation of access across all systems when needed.
• Operational Efficiency: Simplifies credential issuance and management, reducing administrative workload.
• Cost Savings: Eliminates the need for multiple access cards and reduces potential for lost or misplaced credentials.
• Tenant Satisfaction: Offers a modern, user-friendly access experience that can attract and retain quality employees.

How to Implement a Single Credential System

Step 3: Undergo a Card Compatibility Service
