NFC staff card user Identification via Booking Panel

The NFC Staff Card Identification feature in Offision makes resource access and check-ins fast, secure, and hassle-free. By tapping their NFC-enabled staff card on the booking panel, users can verify their identity and permissions instantly. This eliminates the need for manual verification, passwords, or other tedious processes.

Before using this feature, the NFC card must be linked to the user's Offision profile. This setup process connects the card’s unique ID to the individual’s permissions in the system. Once linked, users can simply tap their card on the booking panel to check in or gain access to meeting rooms, shared equipment, or other facilities.

This feature is particularly beneficial for organizations looking to simplify operations and improve security. By automating the identification process, it reduces the chances of unauthorized access while speeding up workflows.
