Create a virtual work, collaboration or a social space with a couple of clicks, invite others to join and with a personal QR code grant physical access to a physical space by issuing a digital SAFELY Pass. Automate people entry processes to physical spaces by making sure they are SAFELY spaces for EVERYONE. Use the app to implement and manage effective Safely initiatives at work. With "Safely Pass" you can use your phone to access the Safely space you want. Allow the Safely space to scan you and clear you in less than a second. The color of your Safely pass can help you match entry gates, restrooms, cafeterias and other common areas and avoid crowds.
