How it works
End to end permit management
- 01
Apply online
Vendors submit vehicle applications through a custom-branded website, no paper forms or in-person visits required.
- 02
Reviewed by credentialing
Pending applications are reviewed electronically by the airport's credentialing team, with every document in one place.
- 03
Issues resolved fast
Application issues are resolved quickly through the integrated communication platform, instead of phone tag and email threads.
- 04
Permit issued
The vendor is issued a vehicle-specific RFID tag permit, tied to that vehicle and its approved credentials.
- 05
Checked at the gate
Gates check vehicle access using handhelds or fixed RFID and LPR, reading tag or plate against the live allow list.
- 06
Automatic denial
Vehicles are automatically denied when conditions like insurance (COI) expire, before an expired credential ever reaches the lane.
- 07
Logged for compliance
Access logs with an entry or denial time stamp are recorded for every read, ready for compliance reporting.
The vendor portal
Vendors keep their own fleet current.
Instead of your team collecting paperwork, each company logs in, manages its vehicles, and uploads documentation. The portal flags anything expiring before it becomes a problem at the gate.
