YMCA Case Study: Frictionless Security for Facility Access Control

The YMCA of Northwest Florida is a long-standing, community-centered nonprofit serving the Florida Panhandle for over 145 years, focused on youth development, healthy living, and social responsibility. Following the renovation of its Gulf Breeze facility and a transition toward 24/7 operations, the YMCA needed a more reliable way to verify member identity, protect facility access, and improve the experience for both members and staff—especially as barcode-based entry could be shared and enabled unauthorized use.
