From Print to Permission in Minutes: BadgeHub + PDK

At BadgePass, we’re all about making things simple. That’s why we’re excited about our latest integration with BadgeHub and ProdataKey (PDK); it streamlines what used to be a multi-step, manual process into a seamless workflow.

If you’ve ever spent time double-entering cardholder data, first in your badging system, then again in your access control system, you know how frustrating (and time-consuming) it can be. With BadgeHub + PDK, that headache disappears. Let’s break it down.

Step 1: Start with Your People

Bring in your data, your way. BadgeHub can pull cardholder records straight from your HR system, SIS, or database. CSV file? ODBC connection? No problem. No retyping. No wasted time.

Step 2: Update on the Fly

Need to add a new hire’s photo or update a record? Open the cardholder record in BadgeHub and capture their details right from your phone, tablet, or PC.

Step 3: Assign the Credential

Drop in card tech details, set activation and expiration dates, and choose the right Access Group. That’s what tells PDK which doors they can open.

Step 4: Issue the Badge

Click “issue” and you’re done. BadgeHub sends the badge design straight to your connected printer, whether it’s down the hall or across the country.

Step 5: Instant Sync to PDK

Here’s where the magic happens: the moment a badge is issued, all details, photo, credentials, and access group assignments sync directly into the PDK system in real-time. That means no waiting, no manual updates, and no duplicate entry. Just instant permission at the door.

Step 6: Credentials That Work Smarter

Employees and students walk away with an ID badge that’s both functional and personal. They’re instantly recognized at the door, while your organization enjoys all the benefits of streamlined access control.

Why It Matters

With BadgeHub + PDK, you get:

• One workflow for photo ID and access control
• Instant sync between BadgeHub and PDK
• Faster onboarding for new people
• Custom badge designs that fit your brand

Whether you’re running a hospital, school, government office, or business, this integration is built to save you time and simplify your workflow.

Because at the end of the day, your time is valuable. That’s why we designed this integration to take you from print… to permission… in minutes.
