Australian property fund manager ISPT has deployed identity solutions provider HID’s mobile access through its trusted technology partner onUgo to enable employee badges in digital wallets at ISPT’s office in George Place, Sydney.
With this deployment, employees and tenant communities can use their smartphones and smart watches to access corporate spaces, amenities, and services without needing traditional swipe card access.
This is ahead of a larger portfolio implementation that has commenced across a number of ISPT’s flagship office precincts nationally.
HID says ISPT is the first commercial real estate firm in Australia to deploy HID’s employee badge in a digital wallet.

In addition to 24 York St and 345 George St at George Place, HID’s solutions will be deployed in additional precincts in Melbourne, Brisbane, and Perth to follow.
HID claims the following benefits of the employee badge in the digital wallet:
Enhanced security: The employee credential in digital wallet solution employs advanced encryption and security protocols to ensure that access to ISPT’s premises is both safe and secure.
Unprecedented convenience: Employees can now access office spaces, meeting rooms, printers, lockers and other facilities with just a tap of their smartphone or smart watch, eliminating the need for physical badges and access cards.
Sustainability: By transitioning to digital credentials, ISPT underscores its commitment to environmental sustainability, reducing the need for plastic card production and disposal.
Future-ready security and identity infrastructure: This initiative supports ISPT’s broader vision and long-term plan to create a technologically advanced, efficient, and flexible working environment that meets the evolving needs of its workforce.
“By adopting HID Mobile Access, we are not only enhancing the security and efficiency of our operations across our office portfolio, but also offering our tenant partners a level of convenience and flexibility that is critical in today’s fast-paced and technology-driven world,” says ISPT head of portfolio (office) Nicole Ward.
“Our mobile access solutions, delivered to market by highly skilled technology partners, are designed to offer unparalleled security and convenience and we are excited to see how ISPT will leverage this technology to benefit their tenant partner’s operations,” says HID regional head of mature markets ANZ physical access control solutions Steve Katanas.
