N.E.C. expands FastID: from stadium access to modern staff identification

Digital identity is becoming essential for organisations that want to manage both physical access and digital access in a secure, efficient and user‑friendly way. After a year of successful use in the stadium, N.E.C. Nijmegen now uses FastID to identify and grant access to employees in its main office building.

Supporters already enjoy fast, seamless entry and now staff experience the same simplicity.

“You simply look into the camera and walk right in. No passes, no hassle — just pure simplicity.” – Wilco van Schaik, N.E.C. Nijmegen

This move shows how one digital identity can increase security, efficiency and ease of use across an entire organisation.

Why modern organisations are shifting to digital staff identification

Many companies still rely on outdated access processes: physical badges get lost, tags need replacing, visitor registration takes time and IT teams spend hours on manual updates.

FastID simplifies all of this.

✔ One solution for supporters, visitors, customers and staff

No separate systems: one identity works everywhere.

✔ Fewer administrative tasks

No badge management, no password resets, no temporary passes.

✔ Faster flow and fewer errors

Biometric verification prevents misuse and speeds up access.

✔ Secure, compliant and future‑proof

Fully GDPR‑compliant and ready for EUDI‑wallet integrations.

Staff identification: physical and digital in one system

FastID unifies physical access and digital access. Employees use the same digital identity for:

• Entering office buildings or secure areas
• Logging into internal systems and applications
• Visitor and guest registration
• Temporary or role‑based access rights
• Multi‑location access across the organisation

The benefits of one digital identity

• No physical badges or tags
• No shared accounts or weak passwords
• Real‑time control over access rights
• Less administrative work for IT and HR
• Scalable across teams, departments and locations

How N.E.C. uses biometric access for staff

N.E.C. has been using FastID for fast and secure stadium access. Now the same technology is applied to staff in the main office:

• Employees identify themselves within seconds
• No physical access cards required
• Access is automatically assigned based on role or function
• Centralised, real‑time management
• Scalable for new departments or locations

N.E.C. demonstrates how one identity system can increase both security and user experience, for thousands of supporters and for its own employees.

Future‑proof access management starts with digital identity

Digital identity is no longer optional. It is the foundation for:

• faster onboarding
• safer access
• reduced administrative workload
• better user experience
• lower operational costs

FastID enables organisations to unify physical and digital access in one secure, efficient solution.
