Witco’s integration with STid provides mobile access control so occupants can use their phones as virtual badges to access the workplace according to predefined authorizations managed in the access control software. Administrators can issue and manage virtual badges at scale through Witco, improving security with stronger authentication and the ability to revoke credentials if a phone is lost. The integration is delivered via API and is listed as Coming Soon on the Witco Marketplace. It targets cost optimization by replacing physical cards and the related logistics with secure, remotely managed mobile credentials.
