Chrome ID a Software Platform

    Chrome ID a Software Platform

    Yes, ChromeID is hardware — but the real value is in the software.

    Beyond the Card
    The card is the delivery mechanism, but the platform is where it gets powerful. Every ChromeID can connect securely to our server software — hosted by us or by the customer.

    That server collects and manages rich data:

    • Location
    • Access logs
    • Security events
    • Performance data
    • Even user interaction patterns

    All of this becomes a resource for analytics, automation, and integration.

    Why This Matters
    Most hardware companies stop at the product. We didn’t.

    We built a software platform with:

    • A full API for integration into any vertical system
    • Developer tools so VARs and customers can build their own applications
    • A sandboxed environment so those apps run securely on the card itself

    This means ChromeID doesn’t just fit into one market — it can be adapted for dozens without rebuilding the hardware.

    The Data Advantage
    Think about the possibilities:

    • AI-driven analytics on access and movement
    • Integrations with enterprise systems
    • Automated security responses based on card data
    • Custom workflows that live entirely on the card

    The more ChromeIDs in the field, the more valuable the software becomes — not just to us, but to our customers.

    The Business Impact
    For us, software means recurring revenue, sticky integrations, and a growing moat. For VARs, it means they can own the customer relationship with specialized applications that run on a secure, proven hardware platform. For customers, it means a single device that does more for them over time — without needing to be replaced.

    Conclusion
    Yes, ChromeID is hardware. But it’s also a platform — secure, adaptable, and built to grow in capability and value for years to come. The card gets us in the door. The software makes us indispensable.
