Sign In App Tap

Use RFID access cards to automate staff sign-in

With Sign In App Tap, staff can sign in and out instantly using their existing access control cards and fobs. No new credentials. No complex rollout. Simply tap and go.

Access control management starts at the front door

True access control requires knowing who is actually on site right now, not just who had access. You might already manage access control with a dedicated access control provider, but if staff arrival, attendance, and on-site visibility live somewhere, you could have costly gaps:

  • No reliable “who’s on site right now?” view
  • Manual sign-ins slowing down busy entrances
  • Harder roll calls during evacuations
  • More admin for shifts, contractors, and multi-site teams

Sign In App Tap closes the gaps.

What is Sign In App Tap?

Sign In App Tap vs API integrations

Traditional access control integrations

ZtmdP7zzk9ZrXCsx_PageIcons_sia_spaces_ico_008_bookrules
Traditional access control integrations often demand installers, custom API connections, ongoing software version management, and complex approval processes - making setup time-consuming and resource-heavy.

Sign In App Tap

Tap avoids all of that by working directly with the card - enabling faster deployment, lower costs, and no reliance on access control provider APIs. That’s why many organizations choose Tap as their go-to access control management extension.

What this means for your organization

Sign In App Tap transforms how you manage access, without disrupting your current systems. Here's how it fits seamlessly into your existing setup:

  • Works with almost any access control card

  • No need to change your existing access control system

  • No new credentials for staff

  • Instant, accurate, auditable staff presence data

  • Flexible enough for multi-site environments

Sign In App Tap uses a hardware-based RFID reader to capture the unique identifier (UID/serial number) from your existing access cards and fobs.
