Fobi AI (TSX-V:FOBI, OTCQB:FOBIF) Inc has announced the launch of the CheckPoint Venue Access Management system, together with the newest 2.0 version of its Smart Tap device.
The current conference and event management landscape is largely outdated, as it is an entirely manual process that’s slow, resource-heavy, and expensive, the company said.
As a result, CheckPoint was developed as a sophisticated, end-to-end system that automates the entire registration and sign-in process for venues and their attendees, digitally transforming this very analog industry.

CheckPoint brings contactless self-service check-in to events and venues using Fobi Wallet Passes for ticketing, in a solution that seamlessly integrates with existing hardware and software.
Upon arrival, the guests tap their phones on Fobi's new Smart Tap 2.0 device. This securely reads and decrypts the contents of their wallet passes and communicates with a tablet or PC running Fobi's browser-based CheckPoint application.
The guest's information is fetched and displayed on the screen, enabling ID verification. The guest's ID badge can also be automatically printed out.
Fobi noted that the entire CheckPoint application is web-based, which removes the need for local installation, and for the support that comes with desktop or tablet applications. It can run on existing hardware, or on Fobi supplied hardware.
Fobi said another key benefit of the CheckPoint solution is the ID verification that is built-in. ID verification is a huge market and according to a recent report by Markets and Markets is expected to grow from $8.6 billion in 2021 to $18.6 billion in 2026 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 16.6%.
"CheckPoint is the way of the future for verifiable access and entry as it will enable operators to provide a seamless and automated user experience and provide venue operators with the highest level of security for entry to conferences, award shows, government facilities, stadiums, corporate towers or health care facilities,” said Fobi CEO Rob Anson in a statement.
“We are now very well positioned as we deliver a true turnkey out-of-the-box verified venue management solution.”
