By Gloria Methri

Zwipe has teamed up with SCAP to introduce the innovative “biometric system-on-card” to SCAP’s customers in France.‍

SCAP’s customer base spans the entire security industry in France, including physical and logical access system manufacturers, installers, and integrators, as well as corporations in various sectors, including airports, transportation, healthcare, data centres, critical infrastructure, manufacturing, government, and education.‍

SCAP has already placed its first purchase order with Zwipe and launched the first Zwipe Access starter pack in French.‍

Zwipe Access utilizes state-of-the-art biometric capture and matching technology to securely store the cardholder’s encrypted fingerprint template directly within the card’s smart chip during issuance. This integration seamlessly aligns with the requirements of SCAP’s customers, allowing them to integrate biometric verification swiftly, securely, and cost-effectively into their existing security infrastructure.

According to Pierre Yves Dudal, president of SCAP, “In today’s highly secure EU requirements for a working environment, having easy access to the latest access technologies is critical for all strategic or sensitive sites. The biometric card provided by Zwipe brings breakthrough ID card technologies to existing identification systems for the next generation of physical and logical access.”‍

“We are happy to partner with SCAP, a leading advanced security solution distributor. Thanks to our local expertise and support, we look forward to developing and strengthening the relationship with the French security market and supporting SCAP in delivering best-in-class customization and logistics for access control solutions integration partners globally,” said Robert Puskaric, President and CEO of Zwipe.
