Extend Google Workspace Identity to the Frontline
Credenti Tap brings Google Workspace identity into shared workstations, frontline devices, operational environments, and dedicated Tap Stations.Employees simply tap their existing workforce badge to establish their identity - without repeatedly entering usernames and passwords or relying on personal phones.Credenti connects each badge tap to the worker's enterprise identity, applies the appropriate authentication and access policies, and records the activity for centralized visibility.
One identity. One badge. Secure access across the workplace.
Extend Google Workspace Identity to the Frontline
Google Workspace provides organizations with a centralized identity for accessing Google applications and connected business services. But many operational environments extend far beyond a traditional employee signing into a browser from a dedicated laptop. Healthcare workers move between shared workstations. Manufacturing employees access terminals on the production floor. Laboratory personnel interact with dedicated stations and equipment. Warehouse workers use shared devices. Other frontline employees may need to authenticate quickly throughout a shift without stopping to enter credentials. Credenti Tap brings Google Workspace identity into these environments.Workers simply tap an approved employee badge at a Credenti-enabled endpoint. Credenti associates the badge with the worker's enterprise identity and uses Google Workspace as the identity source to deliver a fast, controlled authentication experience.
No repetitive password entry.
No dependence on personal phones.
No separate identity for frontline workflows.
Google Workspace Identity Doesn't Stop at the Browser
Organizations increasingly rely on Google Workspace to manage workforce identities, but many employees perform their jobs on devices and systems that do not follow the traditional one-user, one-laptop model. Shared workstations, operational terminals, kiosks, laboratory stations, production systems, and other frontline devices may be accessed by many employees throughout the day. Traditional authentication creates friction in these environments.Workers may need to repeatedly enter usernames and passwords. Personal phones may not be permitted or practical. Shared credentials reduce accountability. Generic accounts make it difficult to determine who actually performed an action. The result can be slower workflows, frustrated employees, increased credential exposure, and limited visibility into individual user activity.
From Google Workspace Identity to Real-World Workflows
Google Workspace may establish who the employee is, but workers interact with many different systems throughout their day.Credenti Tap helps carry that identity into environments such as:
Shared Windows workstationsFrontline and operational terminals
Laboratory and R&D stations
Manufacturing floor systems
Healthcare workstations
Warehouse and logistics environments
Kiosks and dedicated-purpose devices
Raspberry Pi-based Tap Stations
Other Credenti-enabled endpoints
Instead of creating different authentication experiences for each environment, organizations can provide workers with a familiar action:
Tap the badge you already carry.
Google Workspace + Credenti Tap Stations
Not every authentication workflow requires a Windows workstation or traditional computer. Credenti Tap can be deployed on compact devices such as Raspberry Pi to create dedicated Tap Stations for environments where organizations need to identify workers or capture authenticated activity without installing readers on operational equipment.
For example, a laboratory worker can tap their badge when entering a lab to begin a work session and tap again when leaving. Credenti can authenticate the worker against the configured Google Workspace identity environment and record the activity centrally. Organizations gain visibility into:
Who tapped.
When they tapped.
Where they tapped.
Which Tap Station was used.
This makes Credenti Tap useful not only for workstation authentication, but also for authenticated operational workflows.
Turn the Employee Badge Into a Workforce Authentication Experience
Credenti Tap extends Google Workspace identity into shared-device and frontline workflows using badges employees may already carry.Instead of repeatedly entering credentials, users tap an approved badge at a Credenti-enabled device.
IDENTIFIES - Which worker is presenting the badge
ASSOCIATES - Connects the badge with the appropriate enterprise identity
EVALUATES - Applies applicable user, device, and authentication policies
AUTHENTICATES - Establishes the worker's identity for the configured workflow
Google Workspace continues to serve as the organization's identity source while Credenti provides the authentication layer required to extend that identity into operational environments.
Tap. Authenticate. Work.
Identity That Follows the Worker
Google Workspace may establish who the employee is, but workers interact with many different systems throughout their day.
Credenti Tap helps carry that identity into:
- Shared Windows workstations
- Frontline and operational terminals
- Laboratory and R&D stations
- Manufacturing floor systems
- Healthcare workstations
- Warehouse and logistics environments
- Kiosks and dedicated
- purpose devices
- Raspberry Pi-based Tap Stations
- Other Credenti-enabled endpoints
Instead of creating different authentication experiences for every environment, organizations can provide workers with one familiar action:
Tap the badge you already carry.
Solving the Frontline Identity Gap
Enterprise identity works well when an employee signs into a browser from their own computer.Frontline and shared-device environments are different.
