Most platforms scan a QR code and let an attendee in. Confanum Access turns the gate into a coordination layer — VIP alerts to staff, role-gated areas per ticket class, tiered greetings, and a real-time dashboard that shows you exactly who's coming through, when, and where.
Schedule a DemoEvery event has tiers. VIPs need a quiet handoff to a handler. Press needs a different greeting than a general-admission attendee. Volunteers need access to staff areas, vendors need access to the loading dock, and the back-of-house door at 7:30 AM needs to behave differently than the front gate at noon. Most ticket-scanning systems give you one row in a database that says "checked in" — and leave the coordination to walkie-talkies.
Confanum Access wires gate scans into the rest of your event. When a VIP scans, the right staff member gets a push notification. When a Press pass scans, the on-screen greeting reflects it. When a volunteer scans into a back-of-house entrance, the area's permission rules check their assignment. And throughout the show, the dashboard shows live entry flow by gate, by ticket class, by hour.
Confanum Access is built on the same primitives that power the rest of the platform — the permission system, the segment-based notification engine, the kiosk station, the audit log. It's not a bolt-on. It's the gate behaving like every other surface of your event.
When a VIP, headlining guest, or sponsor scans in at the gate, the right staff member gets a push notification immediately. No more "who's that walking in" — your handler is on it.
Per-ticket-type access rules. Press lounge, volunteer break room, vendor loading dock, VIP green room — each gate enforces who can enter based on the ticket class scanned. Permissions are server-side, not honor-system.
Customized on-screen messaging per ticket class. A VIP sees their handler's name. A Press pass sees the press kit link. A general admission attendee sees today's schedule highlight. Same gate, different message — by ticket type.
Trigger a push notification to specific ticket classes when they check in. "Welcome, VIP — your meet-and-greet starts in 30 minutes at the Green Room." "Press: your daily kit is at the Press Desk." Personalized at scale.
Live entry flow across every gate. Check-in counts by hour, by ticket class, by entrance. Spot a backup at one gate while another runs empty. Move staff in real time.
Every gate scan is recorded with actor, timestamp, gate, ticket class, and pass-through outcome. Append-only audit log. Useful for incident response, sponsor verification, and CEU tracking when applicable.
iOS and Android scanner apps included. Compatible with the QR scanners and badge printers most cons already own. No proprietary hardware.
Not a separate product. Gate scans feed schedule check-ins, attendance analytics, sponsor reports, and post-event multi-year insights. The gate isn't an island.
A featured guest scans in at the artist entrance. Their handler — already on shift — gets a push notification. The handler walks over, escorts them to the green room. No walkie chatter. Total elapsed time: 18 seconds.
A press pass scans in. The on-screen greeting hands off the day's press kit URL and points to the press desk. The dashboard shows three press passes through this gate; the press desk is staffed for the day.
A volunteer scans in at the back-of-house entrance. Their assignment is the morning programming track — the gate's role check passes. They get a push notification with their day's shift card. No paper printouts.
The dashboard shows a queue spike at the front gate. The Saturday morning influx is real. The ops director moves a volunteer from the under-utilized side gate. Queue clears in eight minutes. Sponsor-area access at the VIP gate keeps flowing the whole time.
