Every credential OppAccred issues follows the same path: someone applies, someone approves, and from that point the system knows exactly where that person is allowed to be.
Staff, broadcast crews, away clubs and commercial guests submit their own details through the portal, not an email to the ops team.
Trusted organisations are approved automatically. Anyone new sits in a queue until someone signs off.
Once approved, a pass goes out, physical or digital, scoped to the roles and zones that person actually needs.
On matchday, every scan checks the pass is genuine, in date, not revoked and on the list for that fixture. Its zones are printed on the pass and shown in the app, so stewards can see where it's valid.
Every accreditation is tied to specific zones and roles, set per club. Nobody has blanket access by default, and clubs decide what "media access" or "hospitality" actually means at their own ground.
Every scan feeds one view, so you know who's actually accredited and on site right now, not who was expected.
Freezes every scanner and shows last-known positions from recorded scans, built for an evacuation, not a normal Saturday.
Pull someone's access and scanners pick it up on their next sync, with no re-print and no list to chase. A scanner with no signal gets it the moment it reconnects.
In an emergency, a clipboard or a spreadsheet can only tell you who was expected. With the Scanning module, OppAccred's live match view updates with every scan, so at any point on matchday you can see which accredited people are inside, which zones they've moved through, and when they came in.
That's the difference between guessing and knowing. If you need to account for everyone in a restricted area, whether it's the broadcast compound, the medical room or contractors working behind a stand, the data is already there. It was captured at the gate as people arrived, not pieced together afterwards.
It covers the people you accredit: staff, media and broadcasters, contractors, hospitality guests and visiting clubs. Spectator ticketing sits in a separate system. Scanners keep checking passes with no signal and upload every scan once they reconnect, so nothing is lost, although the live view only catches up when they do.
Everything above runs at ground level: your staff, your zones, your gate. Nothing here changes how your own matchday works.

See the league view →An accreditation system with live scanning. OppAccred's Scanning module records every accredited person as they're scanned in, shows current occupancy zone by zone, and has a muster mode that freezes a snapshot of who was last recorded where, for evacuation roll-call. It covers staff, media, contractors, hospitality guests and visiting clubs. Spectators aren't included, because their entry runs through the ticketing system.
Yes. OppAccred passes are cryptographically signed, so a scanner can check one with no connection at all, and holder photos are stored on the device in advance so they still appear at the gate. Every scan is saved on the device and uploaded once it reconnects, with its original time recorded, so nothing is lost or counted twice.
OppAccred's scanning apps run on Android. For busy gates we recommend rugged Zebra terminals (TC22 and TC27 class), with Sunmi L2s Pro class devices as a lower-cost option. Standard Android phones also work using their camera, which is a sensible way to start, though slower at high-volume entrances.
Yes. Revoke a pass and scanners pick up the change on their next sync, so the pass is refused at the gate without reprinting anything. A scanner with no signal receives the revocation as soon as it reconnects.
Yes. Another accreditation provider can push its own passes into OppAccred through partner credential interchange, including matching its existing barcodes, so they scan on the same devices at your gates. That matters at venues with more than one supplier, and for anyone planning for Martyn's Law.
Yes. Each club runs its own matchday in OppAccred, and the league gets one dashboard across every member club, with the same workflow and zone definitions applied consistently. That means accreditation can be checked across the whole competition rather than ground by ground.
