Check-in and access control

Gates that keep working when the internet does not.

Ticket scanning, attendee lookup, kiosk registration, and role-scoped access, all running in a browser on whatever devices your team already carries. No on-site server, no proprietary scanners.

Offline scanning

The gate does not stop because the signal did.

Scanning devices hold the validation data they need locally, so check-in keeps running through a dead spot, a saturated cell tower, or a dropped uplink. Scans queue on the device and sync as soon as the connection returns.

  • Ticket validation continues with no connection at all
  • Scans queue locally and reconcile automatically on reconnect
  • Duplicate scans are flagged once devices are back in sync
  • Staff see clear offline status instead of a spinning loader
  • No local server or on-site network for the gate to depend on

Scanning

One scanner for tickets, wallet passes, and wristbands.

Attendees arrive with whatever they have: a printed ticket, a PDF on a phone, an Apple Wallet or Google Wallet pass, or an RFID wristband. Your staff use the same screen for all of it, and every scan lands against the same attendee record.

  • QR and barcode scanning from a phone or tablet camera
  • Apple Wallet and Google Wallet passes scan exactly like any other ticket
  • RFID wristband taps for entry, re-entry, and zone checks
  • Name and order lookup for attendees who arrive with nothing
  • Live check-in counts visible to the box office and back office

Unattended entry points

Kiosk mode and screen locking, for devices you cannot stand next to.

Registration tablets, self-service RFID sign-up stations, and shared staff devices all sit somewhere a member of your team is not watching. These are the controls for that.

Kiosk mode

Unattended RFID registration

A device runs one locked-down registration flow and returns to the start after each attendee. It cannot be navigated into the rest of your account.

Screen locking

A PIN on an unattended device

Lock a screen per user or across the whole organization. Unlock takes a PIN, so a bar tablet left on a counter is not an open door into your event data.

Role scoping

Gate staff see only the gate

Six roles across three scopes decide what a person can reach. A check-in volunteer gets check-in, not refunds, payouts, or attendee exports.

Accountability

Every entry decision is attributable to a person.

Unlimited users is not just a pricing position. It is what makes the audit trail worth having, because nobody has a reason to share a login to save a seat licence.

Connectivity

You do not need a server rack in a field anymore.

For years the standard pitch was that festival internet is hopeless, so you should rent an expensive on-site server and run your event on a local network. Satellite services like Starlink have made that argument obsolete. A dish and a generator now give a green field better connectivity than a lot of permanent venues have.

So RFIDify runs in the cloud, where your data is backed up, reachable from anywhere, and not sitting in a trailer that someone has to physically protect for the weekend. And for the moments connectivity still drops, scanning keeps working offline.

  • No on-site server to rent, transport, power, cool, or staff
  • No local network for a single failure to take down your whole event
  • Nothing to physically secure overnight, and nothing to lose in a flood
  • Box office, gates, bars, and back office see the same data instantly
  • Offline ticket scanning covers the outages that do happen
  • Your own laptop or phone is the terminal, so spares are easy

Event day

Offline ticket scanning

Prepare each scanner before gates open and keep admitting people through an outage. Decisions queue locally and sync later, with duplicate protection across lanes.
