Scalable Connectivity

Our CardExchange® Bridge is based on transactions made between different external systems and our back office. This means that you only pay for each transaction and nothing more. Transactions are divided into direct database actions like inserts and updates, as well for the usages of webhooks when working directly with the Bridge API. We offer 4 data plans that offers you the flexibility of file and data sizes as well the choice of the amount of transactions needed.

LITE

Organizations with max 500 records

To update data from external data sources or into external data sources, you need to have a Bridge subscription. This FREE plan is perfect for small organizations that need to manage external information and automate the synchronizations but mostly using CSV imports and small image files. The FREE plan supports maximum 1,000 transactions per month.

MEDIUM

Organizations with less than 10,000 records

The Bridge MEDIUM plan is the first plan that offers the choice of the amount of transactions needed. Having a small business with more source database and exporting to multiple backoffices like Access Control systems, this plan is a perfect and suitable plan.

Database Connectivity

Our CardExchange® Cloud Suite can communicate with any database system you have available in your organization. Easy scheduling importing information into our suite back office, as well as reporting information back to connected databases including defined business logic.

Incoming Connectors

The incoming connector can communicate directly with other systems using their API, preferably this would be a REST API made available by the system vendor. Incoming connectors can also communicate directly with a database hosted in the cloud, or local databases.

The incoming connector initiates the communication and reads from the source system, it then adds new insertions or updates from the data source to the records in Controller based on the business logic defined.

Outgoing Connectors

Our outgoing connectors are connections between the back end and external systems that send data to those systems in reaction on actions performed by the end user. Outgoing connectors should preferably use web hooks, these can be configured based on a change to the persons ID card status in Controller. This means that the webhook can be sent, for example, when a ID or card is activated or blocked. The connector can then send a request via the API to get the full data for that specific record or action which greatly reduces network traffic and offers a real-time experience.

High-Security Level

The cloud database strictly follows the Transport Layer Security (TLS) protocol to protect data when it is traveling between the cloud services and customers. It provides strong authentication, message privacy and integrity, and interoperability, which ensures that your data is protected in transit.

Seamless Process

The Bridge and its related services provide you with the highest data integrity and automated data synchronization for a seamless process of creating and managing ID and Card.

Cost-efficient

Having live connectors  between your datasource and our cloud products is essential for keeping all systems up to date. Eliminate errors in having too many manual entries. Aside from manual work, it protects the database record integrity by making sure all system record data matches automatically without manually entering it in multiple systems.
