  • How does workXid work?

    Each member is provided with a virtual and/or physical photo ID card that is uniquely encoded with an encrypted token supporting both Quick Response (QR) 2D barcode and/or Near Field Communications (NFC) technologies. Member information is maintained and managed by workXid through Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) subscription. Under that service, workXid undertakes the primary role of data custodian. Members always own and retain responsibility for their records. Access is limited and provided through role-based rules.

    • Follow these steps:

    • 1 - Obtain and record the members 12 digit workXid card number.

    • 2 - If the physical card is presented, then retain it if possible.

    • 3 - Make photocopies of front and back.

    • 4 - Record cardholder’s name and address.

    • 5 - Ask cardholder where they obtained the card. 

    • 6 - Call the local police and file a report.

  • What Is 'SaaS' (Software as a Service)?

    'SaaS', or 'Software as a Service', describes when users 'rent' or borrow online software instead of actually purchasing and installing it on their own computers.



    It is the same situation as people using Gmail or Yahoo mail services, except that SaaS goes much further. SaaS is the foundational idea behind centralized computing: entire businesses and thousands of employees will run their computer tools as online rented products.



    All of the processing work and file saving will be done on the Internet, with users accessing their tools and files using a web browser.

Features
  • Do you support data interfaces with other systems?

    Yes, workXid supports data exchange with external systems through intellegent objects.  



    workXid can communicate with intelligent objects in two ways: sending notifications or requesting services.



    A notification is a way of communicating where a party can send a message to another party without having to identify itself and without expecting a reply back from the other party. It is entirely up to the other party to decide how to react upon receiving a notification. E-mail is a good example of a notification.



    A service is a more formal and comprehensive way of communication than a notification. A party requesting a service from another party must first identify itself to the other party, and can expect a meaningful reply back. For example, sending payment details to a payment processing system for completion and getting a payment reference number back. workXid communicates with external parties through channels.
