"The participation of these standard-setting strategic investors is an affirmation of the value, traction and importance of the SwiftConnect platform in the marketplace for managing physical access control," said Chip Kruger and Matt Kopel, Co-Founders of SwiftConnect. "The investment further validates SwiftConnect's vision and provides the foundation for our continued leadership in deploying NFC-based mobile credentials as the need for flexible workplaces continues to evolve. This unique value we deliver is why leading commercial real estate and enterprise brands have chosen to adopt our platform."

Regardless of location, SwiftConnect links the right people to the right office space at the right time, enabling anyone to work from anywhere in the world.
