The training programme in China was a good opportunity for Edge to get to know the Civintec company and its product line with advanced technology including NFC and Desfire EV1. Additionally, a foundation could be laid to enable Edge and Civintec to work closely together with the aim of winning over the market successfully and quickly.

Utouch is a state of the art terminal combination with a smart card including NFC and biometric features to meet most applications on the market such as time attendance, access control, club membership, visitor management, payment, etc. The Bond ID software from Edge Group is an access control and time attendance solution with integrated user management, based on RFID and biometric authentication to control the network of the Utouch terminal. The Bond ID from Edge Group will enhance the marketing of Utouch in access control and time attendance system solutions, and is suitable for small to large enterprises. Entering the market together Bond ID and Utouch will be more competitive and will offer more powerful functions.

Civintec runs software partnership programmes for the Utouch terminal for various applications, such as payment, club membership, access control, time attendance. Several software companies are developing applications on Utouch. Civintec is looking forward to welcoming more software companies to set up partnership with them in the same way.
