HID® Fargo® Connect™

Gain end-to-end visibility, efficiency and security while reducing complexity. HID® FARGO® Connect™ from HID Global is a cloud-based card issuance platform that simplifies the complex, bringing all the elements of a secure card issuance program into a centralized and integrated system. By combining hardware, software, consumables and services, the solution simplifies the operation and support of the entire ID card issuance office while increasing visibility, control, and security.

With HID® FARGO® Connect™, you can:

  • Gain full printer visibility and control via the platform’s Realtime dashboard—allowing you to address printer maintenance proactively and eliminate consumables out-of-stock issues

  • Use the platform’s Secure Print feature to safely and securely send encrypted print jobs to remote locations—eradicating expensive card shipping fees and security concerns
  • Reduce errors that commonly occur during the two-step contactless personalization process.
