Innovative technology for a modern workplace

Employee badges in Google Wallet are compatible with a variety of Schlage® wireless locks

Employee badges in Google Wallet are compatible with a variety of Schlage® wireless locks, wall readers and reader controllers that are NFC enabled including Schlage NDE and LE Series, XE360™ and AD Series wireless locks, MTB Series wall readers and Schlage RC Series reader controllers.

Key benefits include:

• Enhanced Security: Employee badges in Google Wallet are protected by multiple layers of security, ensuring that sensitive information remains safe. And the credential can be easily deactivated if a phone is lost or stolen.
• Seamless Access: Employees can use their employee badge in Google Wallet with a simple tap to an enabled Schlage device. The technology does not require them to unlock their device or open an app.

Future-ready access

By supporting employee badges in Google Wallet, Schlage offers technology that is iterative and will evolve as new functionality and capabilities become available. Allegion's PACS alliances are now able to work with Schlage to offer this solution to their customers, and commercial business owners can feel confident that their staff will continue to take advantage of the latest mobile credential benefits into the future.
