ClearStar secures new integration with Virtual Badge for mobile
ID badging solution
Integration provides further route-to-market in industries
requiring on-the-go workforce management
ClearStar (AIM: CLSU), the technology and service provider to
the background screening industry, is pleased to announce that it
has signed an agreement to integrate its mobile background
screening solutions with Virtual Badge, the world's first patented
smartphone ID badging system. This new technology integration,
which is expected to launch by year-end, will provide ClearStar
with a further route-to-market in industries demanding on-the-go
workforce management solutions.
Virtual Badge, a product of Disaster Solutions LLC, offers a
workforce identity and management solution based on a smartphone
app that issues and displays virtual ID cards (a Virtual Badge),
and the employer can manage all features from their own smartphone.
It facilitates workforce management through the ability to track
activities - based on the scanning of a QR code or the device's GPS
location - such as time on-site and materials/supply deliveries;
managing visitors and issuing temporary badges; and sending tasks,
alerts and other messages to employees. It can also collect other
types of data such as job details and feedback surveys.
Under the terms of the agreement, ClearStar's suite of mobile
screening solutions will be integrated with Virtual Badge to enable
remote identity verification by taking a photo of the employee's
face and government-issued photo ID using ClearStar's ClearID
solution. Relevant information from the results of the background
screen, along with a photo, will populate in Virtual Badge,
providing the employer with a fully-vetted, mobile,
remote-controlled ID badge for their employees. It also allows for
continuous screening monitoring, with a badge becoming
automatically suspended should the employee commit a predefined
offence. This is the first time that facial recognition-based
background screening will be integrated with a mobile access
badge.
The remote ID verification capabilities of ClearID are
well-suited for Virtual Badge's primary target markets of
construction and engineering, healthcare, membership organisations,
youth sports, industries relying on contractors or temporary
workers and organisations with secure facilities. Similarly, the
moving and relocation and home healthcare industries, where
ClearStar has already established a strong market position, would
benefit from the additional workforce management features offered
by Virtual Badge. As a result, the Company expects to be able to
grow its footprint in its current industries as well as expand to
others by leveraging this integration with Virtual Badge.
"We are very excited to join the ClearStar innovative family to
offer, for the first time ever, badges fully integrated with
industry-leading mobile facial recognition background screening
solutions enabling us to provide an end-to-end service for our
customers. We are impressed with their motivation to bring this
solution to market quickly, and we look forward to the
possibilities this partnership will continue to offer," said John
Simion, Co-Founder at Disaster Solutions.
"We are proud to have secured this integration with Virtual
Badge, an industry-leading identity and workforce management
solution," added Robert J. Vale, Jr., CEO of ClearStar. "We share
with Disaster Solutions a commitment to utilising mobile technology
to provide nimble but secure solutions that will bring value to
employers searching for a better way to verify and manage their
casual labour workforce. This integration provides us with another
route-to-market in what we have already identified as a key growth
area and we look forward to leveraging this industry-first offering
to continue to expand in the on-the-go workforce management
industries."
