Built for the realities of live events

WiFi goes down. Power flickers. Thousands of people need through the gate. Grey Mage keeps working.

  • Zero network calls during scan
  • Local encrypted card database
  • Automatic background sync

Real-Time Presence Monitoring

See who is in which zone, right now. Live dashboards for management, even from the office. Turbo Streams push scan events the moment they happen.

  • On-site hub is the event-day source of truth
  • Bidirectional sync with field-level resolution
  • Crash recovery in under 3 minutes
