🪪 A membership card that unlocks access

It all starts when someone purchases a 3-, 6-, or 12-month subscription to your activities. Once the payment is confirmed, they automatically receive an email with their digital membership card, which includes:

  • Their full name
  • A photo
  • The card’s validity period
  • A unique barcode

The card can be saved to their Google or Apple Wallet, reducing the risk of losing it or forgetting it. And best of all, no app is required. Members can access their card quickly and easily. This digital card becomes the key to accessing your facility.

 

🚪 On arrival: automated access

Here’s what happens when someone shows up at your facility:

  1. They scan their digital card using a barcode reader.
  2. On your screen, with the Access Control tab open in Activity Messenger, their profile appears with key details: full name, photo, card validity, and the class they’re registered for.
  3. An Activity Messenger control unit sends a signal to open or deny access through the door or turnstile.
  4. A screen facing the member displays the time and location of their upcoming activity.

✅ What it means for you

  • Reduced wait times: members check in within seconds, with no staff intervention needed.
  • Less front-desk staffing: entry becomes self-service, allowing your team to focus on higher-value tasks.
  • Automatic attendance tracking: every scan is recorded in your entry journal, available at any time.
  • Secure, personalized access: one card per member. No sharing or reuse allowed.
  • Best-practice compliance: providing extra peace of mind for parents who entrust you with their children’s activities.

💡Note : an NFC-compatible reader offering an additional level of security is currently under development. In addition, a connected external gate system , designed to withstand the elements, will soon be available for municipalities and organizations with outdoor facilities. Stay tuned, as these new products will be available very soon.
