A new era of smart access!

After the acquisition by New Spaces GmbH in August 2022 and 20 months of intensive development, we are incredibly proud to be able to offer our new product to our customers. With great attention to detail, we have created a user experience that is second to none and takes into account all aspects of modern access control.” With our many years of experience in cloud and firmware development, we were able to create a secure, standards-compliant and at the same time incredibly flexible ecosystem, which offers completely new opportunities for developers, integrators and end users. “, says Alexander Adam, the new owner and managing director of BlueID GmbH.

Faster, better, farther!

The Next Gen platform is significantly more powerful, easier to use and, above all, easier to integrate. The iOS SDK has been extended to a Swift SDK and now also supports macOS and watchOS. Plug-ins for Flutter, React Native and CapacitorJS have been added brand new. The RESTful API interface is much easier than user & key management.

Near By replaces OnTouch

Although the focus of the release was on our integrator customers with their own apps and management solutions, the BlueID app for iOS and Android was completely rewritten and offers completely new features. With BlueID “Near By”, locks can be opened when approaching — even with battery-powered locking components. Despite the wealth of features, the user interface always remains tidy, as the user only sees the features to which he has access.

OpenID, SCIM, and GDPR compliance

User management has also been put on a completely new footing: The customer is free to manage their users with us, create anonymous identities using an API or connect BlueID Access with their identity provider, such as Microsoft Entra. Ultimately, however, BlueID also works completely without maintaining user data and thus meets the highest data protection requirements.

Apple & Google wallet within reach

A particular highlight will be the integration of Apple & Google Wallet into the BlueID ecosystem. As a result, we offer our customers the full range of modern Smart Access. Starting with Apple Wallet in the 4th quarter of 2024.”

And there's more to come!

We have implemented all customer requests that were technically possible and have achieved an absolute milestone in BlueID history with our successful application to the Apple Smart Access Program. ,” says co-owner Henning Bree. The only thing that remains unanswered is the desire for an online locking system, but Henning Bree also has news in his luggage: “We have not only created the entire technology stack from scratch, but also designed our own wall reader, which, in addition to its original use, also opens up the online world for BlueID as a desktop reading and writing unit as well as via Wi-Fi, LAN or even GSM.”

Finally, the new Head of Sales, Siamak Alimirzai, said: “It is unbelievable how much positive energy and support I receive in meetings with customers. It seems like we've really struck a nerve. I'm looking forward to getting the first Next Gen installation up and running shortly.”
