Idglobal

What Idglobal does

IDGlobal, legally SOLUCIONES AVANZADAS EN IDENTIFICACIÓN Y ACCESO, S.A. de C.V., is a privately held Mexican distributor and systems integrator specializing in credentialing and physical access control solutions. The company is headquartered in Mexico City and operates as a 100% Mexican-owned entity with a small specialist team (1-10 employees) that claims more than 15 years of industry experience. It does not manufacture its own products; instead, it functions as an authorized reseller and integrator for major global credentialing OEMs including Datacard/Entrust, Fargo (HID Global), and Evolis, alongside access control hardware suppliers Suprema, Rosslare, and Keyscan, and credential design software vendors CardExchange and TruCredential.

The company's product portfolio spans card printers (single-side, duplex, and lamination-capable models), color and monochrome print ribbons, retransfer films, cleaning kits, laminates, PVC/proximity/smart cards, badge accessories, biometric readers, access control panels, and turnstiles/vehicle barriers. Core technology offerings include high-security card production (holographic overlays, UV-reactive invisible inks, MIFARE chip personalization, magnetic stripe encoding, barcode/QR printing), biometric access control integration, and customized credentialing system design. Service lines include on-site credential issuance (maquila), custom system integration, and preventive/corrective maintenance contracts.

IDGlobal generates revenue through one-time hardware sales (printers, panels, readers priced in MXN with public e-commerce pricing), recurring consumable replenishment (ribbons, laminates, cards), software license reselling, and professional services fees. Go-to-market combines B2B sales-led engagement for government, education, and enterprise accounts with direct e-commerce sales via idglobal.com.mx, targeting customers exclusively in Mexico. Distribution channels are direct-only — no dealer or reseller network is mentioned.
