Problem
Physical identification cards are prone to loss, damage, and fraud, and managing multiple credentials (university IDs, event passes, employee badges) is cumbersome for users and organizations.

Organizations can issue and manage employee or member credentials through the app, eliminating the need for physical badges and streamlining access control.
