HID, a worldwide leader in trusted identity solutions, announced that leading Australian property fund manager ISPT has deployed HID Mobile Access through its trusted technology partner onUgo, to enable employee badges in digital wallets at ISPT’s office in George Place, Sydney. This is ahead of a larger portfolio implementation that has commenced across a number of ISPT’s flagship office precincts nationally.

This allows employees and tenant communities the convenience and flexibility of using their smartphones and smart watches to access all corporate spaces, amenities and services seamlessly without the need for traditional swipe card access.

ISPT is the first commercial real estate firm in Australia to deploy HID’s employee badge in a digital wallet.

The deployment signifies a leap forward in ISPT’s commitment to leveraging cutting-edge technology to enhance workplace efficiency, security and employee satisfaction. In addition to 24 York St and 345 George St at George Place, HID’s solution has also been deployed with additional precincts in Melbourne, Brisbane and Perth to follow.

Aligned with ISPT's goal of harnessing advanced property technology (PropTech) to provide exceptional experiences for tenant partners, HID Mobile Access -- along with the best-in-class technology integration by onUgo -- provides seamless, contactless street-to-seat access.

By leveraging HID’s innovative approach to simplifying building access management, onUgo enables ISPT and its tenant partners to enhance workplace efficiency, security and end-user experience for all their employees.

Key benefits of HID’s employee badge in digital wallet 

Enhanced security: The employee credential in digital wallet solution employs advanced encryption and security protocols to ensure that access to ISPT’s premises is both safe and secure.

Unprecedented convenience: Employees can now access office spaces, meeting rooms, printers, lockers and other facilities with just a tap of their smartphone or smart watch, eliminating the need for physical badges and access cards.

Sustainability: By transitioning to digital credentials, ISPT underscores its commitment to environmental sustainability, reducing the need for plastic card production and disposal. 

Future-ready security and identity infrastructure: This initiative supports ISPT’s broader vision and long-term plan to create a technologically advanced, efficient and flexible working environment that meets the evolving needs of its workforce. 

“Our partnership with HID and technology partner onUgo is a testament to ISPT’s commitment to innovation and to providing best in class experiences for our tenant partners. By adopting HID Mobile Access, we are not only enhancing the security and efficiency of our operations across our office portfolio, but also offering our tenant partners a level of convenience and flexibility that is critical in today’s fast-paced and technology-driven world.

This is just the beginning of our journey towards creating a more connected, innovative and sustainable experience within our office communities,” said Nicole Ward, Head of Portfolio (Office) for ISPT.

"We are proud to partner with both ISPT and onUgo in revolutionising access control within the commercial real estate sector in Australia.

Our mobile access solutions, delivered to market by highly skilled technology partners, are designed to offer unparalleled security and convenience and we are excited to see how ISPT will leverage this technology to benefit their tenant partner’s operations,” said Steve Katanas, regional head of mature markets, ANZ, Physical Access Control Solutions, HID.
