Unlimited possibilities

Our CardExchange® COTS (shrink-wrap) software is in use worldwide providing a powerful yet cost effective solution which allows government agencies, universities, corporations, as well as small businesses to issue high-quality secure credentials.

In practice, it frequently happens that companies use several card layouts that do not need to be redesigned very often. Consequently, users of card-printing programs, rather than a designer-oriented interface, need a simple accessible window where they can quickly select a card layout, find the correct employee or student, take a photograph and print their identity card. In many cases, in-line electronic personalization must be done as well. Besides functionality for loading cards, defining fast database connections with powerful filters, performing simple card management, printing directly to Windows printers, etc, it is now also possible to create an internal view or query. CardExchange® also includes its own card-layout designer. From now on, issuing new identity cards will be done in a few seconds.

Of course CardExchange® is supported in a majority of different languages like English, Dutch, German,France, Italian, Portuguese, Spanish, Finish, Russian,Japanese,Chinese traditional,Thai, Singapore,Taiwan,Turkish...
