Sharry has launched a smart office solution to streamline badge distribution across a multinational company. In this case, the digital badge on the iPhone or Apple Watch eliminated the hassle of printing physical cards for 30,000+ employees.

With remote card management, users can now smoothly access any office, even when relocating to another city. This innovation has led to radical time saving, increased productivity, and enhanced security, and has created an unprecedented user experience.

  • Single badge policy: Only one badge can be active at a time. However, the employee can smoothly switch between multiples within the Sharry mobile app to ensure greater flexibility.
  • ESG-friendly workplace: When staff uses their iPhones to get access, it means fewer plastic cards need to be printed saving money and reducing the use of plastic and the carbon footprint of offline delivery.
  • Innovation edge: Better talent attraction and retention resulting from the company's position as an early adopter.
  • Improved security standards: Users can lock and locate their misplaced devices online. They can remotely erase their iPhones and their office badges.
  • Enhanced protection: Additionally, badge readers can use Face ID or Touch ID to provide additional security for spaces that require it.
  • Power reserve: If the iPhone needs a charge, the office badge will still work for up to five hours with Power Reserve.

User-centric approach

David Hartl, Head of Sales and Business Development, Sharry said, “We are proud to be a global PropTech partner for this multinational corporation and provide mobile badges to access their 100+ locations on 6 continents.”

A user-centric approach with a great focus on user experience is the key to a hybrid work. Our solution sets a new workplace standard and it proves the shift towards plastic cards being heavily replaced with digital badges.
