Mobile Credential Provisioning: Link Two Barcodes Instantly with CodeREADr

Mobile Credential Provisioning

Organizations across industries need to connect one credential to another — a wristband to a ticket, a badge to a person, or an ID tag to an asset. CodeREADr’s credential provisioning feature makes this process fast, secure, and fully mobile, even offline.

What Is Credential Provisioning?

Credential provisioning is the process of linking two separate identifiers together to create a validated relationship. This happens when you need to:

  • Assign a physical credential (wristband, badge, keycard) to a person or record
  • Connect a temporary identifier to a permanent one
  • Bind access permissions to a physical token
  • Associate an asset tag with tracking information

Without proper provisioning, credentials can’t be validated, tracked, or used for access control.

How CodeREADr Provisioning Works

The entire process takes seconds and creates a secure, auditable link between both identifiers. CodeREADr makes credential provisioning simple with a two-scan workflow:

Step 1

First Scan

Scan the first credential (ticket, registration code, or existing ID)

Step 2

Second Scan

Scan the second credential (wristband, badge, tag, or card)

Step 3

Automatic linking

CodeREADr connects both credentials in a single scan record.

Step 4

Instant validation

Both credentials are verified before pairing.

Key Advantages of CodeREADr Provisioning

Works Online or Offline

Provision credentials with or without internet connectivity. Critical for remote locations, large venues, or areas with poor signal coverage. Data automatically syncs when connection returns.

Validates Before Linking

Both credentials are validated in real-time (or against on-device databases) before pairing. This prevents fraud, duplicate assignments, and mismatched records.

Multiple Capture Methods

  • Barcode scanning (QR codes, Code 128, Data Matrix, etc.)
  • NFC reading for tap-to-provision workflows
  • OCR for text capture
  • Manual entry or database lookup

Instant Data Synchronization

Every provisioning record automatically syncs to your systems:

  • Excel or Google Sheets
  • Cloud databases
  • Third-party platforms via API or webhook
  • Real-time dashboards

Complete Audit Trail

Each provisioning record captures:

  • Both credential values
  • Validation status
  • Username and device ID
  • Timestamp and GPS location
  • Photos, signatures, and custom form fields

Enterprise Scalability

Deploy across unlimited iOS and Android devices simultaneously. All data syncs to a centralized source with role-based permissions and security controls.
