XPressEntry is the handheld, mobile solution for access control. IMPORTANT: The XPressEntry iOS app requires an active connection to an XPressEntry server to function. This app is part of a larger system and does not operate as a standalone solution. The XPressEntry server handles all core functionality, including device and user management, real-time data syncing, reporting, and integration with over 40 leading physical access control systems (PACS). If you are not currently a customer or do not have access to an XPressEntry server, this app will have limited functionality.

HANDHELD BADGE VERIFICATION – Validate permissions and authenticate identities on-the-go where fixed readers aren’t practical plus maintain facility occupancy data in real time. EMERGENCY EVACUATION MUSTERING – Ensure everyone is safely accounted for during a true emergency to improve evacuations, employee safety and OSHA / regulatory compliance. CORPORATE EVENTS & TRAINING – Use existing security badges for access management to manage attendees and deny access when necessary to events and training.

WORKPLACE SURVEYS – Pre-screen employees with configurable health or safety questions and deny access when necessary to help reduce workplace risks and illness.
