Our Approach

1

Discovery & Assessment

We analyze current airport processes, passenger flow, IT systems, vendor landscape, and operational constraints to understand where biometrics will add the greatest impact.

2

Strategy, Architecture & Business Case

We define the digital identity roadmap, data flows, compliance requirements, financial modelling, and measurable operational outcomes.

3

Solution Design & Vendor Engagement

We deliver detailed functional and technical specifications, user flows, and integration points.

We manage vendor engagements, RFPs, demos, technical evaluations, and contract negotiation.

4

Deployment, Integration & Optimization

We support installation, testing, performance tuning, lighting/environment optimization, and final acceptance across kiosks, SBD, gates, and lounges.

5

Continuous Improvement

We monitor results, refine matching performance, and support future expansion (e.g., identity wallet, mobile enrolment, digital bag drops).

Where Biometrics Make an Impact




Airports

Seamless check-in, bag drop, security, immigration, boarding, and lounge access.
