Connect the cards or fobs you already buy to member records, scan them at the front desk, and replace a lost one without rebuilding anything.
What it helps with
Bring your own badges
A badge here is a code, and the code comes off whatever card or fob you already buy. If your scanner can put that code in a box, it works. Tell us what cards and what scanner you have and we will say plainly whether they do.
Assign a code
Open the member, scan the card or type the code, save. If that code is already live on somebody else, NestPoint refuses it and tells you whose it is rather than quietly moving it across. A member holds one active badge at a time.
Lost badge
Assign the new card and the missing one goes inactive in the same step, so there is no second screen to remember on a busy morning. Everything the member has done stays exactly where it is. If the old card turns up in a coat pocket and you put it back, it picks up the record it always had.
Active at the door
A member with a live badge is active. Take the badge away and they are inactive, and the next scan says so at the desk instead of waving them through. That is the whole rule, and it is worth knowing before you buy: there is no expiry date on a card and no grace period counting down behind it.
A typical workflow
The code stays attached to the member while everything else about them changes.
Assign the first card. Open the member, scan the card you already bought, and save the code to their record.
Scan at the desk. The card pulls up the member, and the desk sees whether they are active before saying good morning.
Change the member, not the card. Tier, household, programs, and contact details all move without anyone issuing a new badge.
Assign a replacement. The new card goes on the same member, and the lost one deactivates in the same step.
Read it back later. The activity log names who assigned which code, and when the old one went away.
