Vendor Management
Overview
Vendor Management Design Considerations
What is the process for processing/registering vendors?
- Self-serving (kiosk, tablet, etc)
- Check-in desk
- Paper
Picking Credential Technologies:
Use Multi-Technology Readers with Mobile Enabled
- Order readers from BluB0X to get them shipped with BluB0X Mob key preconfigured
HID vs Allegion vs FarPointe
- This drives the type of reader required
- Does not have to be single technology
- BluID + Card + Fob + Pin
- HID/ASSA Abloy
- Most common
- Use for Commercial Real Estate vertical to achieve the greatest change of card compatibility
- Cards, Readers and Locks
- Must use with ASSA Abloy integrated lock sets
- Supports MiFARE CSN (for visitor credentials)
- Most common
- Allegion
- Cards, Readers and Locks
- Must use with Allegion integrated lock sets
- Supports MiFARE CSN (for visitor credentials)
- Does not have a mobile credential solution

- FarPointe

- Least expensive
- Excellent support
- Does not have a multi-technology reader
- Do not use with CRE vertical
