~12 minutes of manual checks per arrival
Security staff collect ID, verify permits and confirm compliance at the gate while trucks queue behind

Pre-clearance
How it works
Pre-verify every external company and person before they reach your gate
An automated identity verification workflow for contractors, visitors, drivers and their employers that keeps gates moving smoothly, without compromising security.
- 01
Start from the blueprint
Company and personal checks are pre-configured. Adjust to your policy, facility zones, and company types.
- 02
Companies register themselves
Send an invitation link. The external company registers, gets checked automatically, and adds the people it sends.
- 03
Checks run before arrival
People verify identity, pass watchlist screening, and complete the site briefing on their phone. Your team only reviews flagged cases.
- 04
Every entry is logged
Every check, source, and timestamp linked to the external person and company. Exportable in one click for audits.
Gate operations
Manual gate checks cannot keep up with daily carrier arrivals.
Relying on physical guard checks at the perimeter causes vehicle queues, idle yards, operational friction, and exposes you to security risks.
-
~20 second check-in at the gate
Identity and documents checked on their phone before travel. Cleared arrivals scan through in seconds
-
Manual checks create security gaps
Gate staff review paper certificates and IDs. Expired docs, mismatches, and unqualified workers slip through.
Only fully compliant people enter your site
Every company and worker is pre-verified before arrival. All documents and checks must be complete before access is granted.
-
Unverified sub-tier contractors
You verify the company you contracted directly. The firms they subcontract often send workers to your gate without the same checks.
Full-chain compliance
Main contractor, sub, and sub-sub. Each must pass company and worker checks before anyone enters your perimeter.
-
Fragmented access records
Spreadsheets, gate notes, and badge lists that do not link a decision to the person, company, and check
Linked audit trails
Every check, source, timestamp, and decision logged to the external person and company, exportable in one click
The logistics & warehousing blueprint
Automate every compliance check required before site arrival
Pre-clear both the contracting company and the individual worker before they reach your perimeter. All checks execute automatically long before gate entry.

FAQ
Discover answers to common questions
about 9ID's AI security agent.
Can we customize the Logistics & Warehousing Blueprint?
Yes. The checks shown on this page are the baseline: company and personal checks most distribution facilities start with. 9ID has a large library of additional checks you can add on top: insurance documents, safety certificates, host approval, zone authorization, and more. Assign them by role, site, or zone to match your policy.
Does 9ID replace our access control system?
No. Your gate barriers, badge readers and cameras stay as they are. 9ID decides who is allowed to reach them. It holds the verified identity, check results and access rules per zone and time window, and passes a verified person to the systems you already have.
Does 9ID integrate with our existing physical access control system?
Yes. 9ID connects to your PACS (gate barriers, badge readers, door controllers and badge provisioning tools) via APIs and integrations. Screening results and access rules per zone and time window are evaluated in 9ID first; verified permissions are passed to the systems you already run. Pre-registration and verification happen in 9ID; cleared people pass to the gate hardware you already run.
How is trucker check-in different from contractor onboarding?
Truckers need minutes of access, not days. The workflow is built for speed: identity verification, narrow zone access to the dock, and fast kiosk check-in — not full safety certification flows. Contractors and maintenance crews go through the deeper compliance path your site requires.
If someone is blocked at one site, can they enter another?
No. 9ID gives you one overview across your whole portfolio. If an external person is blocked at one facility, that decision applies at every site you run on 9ID.
Are the checks repeated over time?
Yes. Company checks are monitored after onboarding, so a watchlist hit or registration change shows up when it happens. Personal documents are tracked to their expiry date and requested again before they expire.
How is personal data handled?
Data is encrypted in transit and at rest, access is role-based, and every action is logged. 9ID is GDPR-compliant and certified to ISO 27001, ISO 27701, and SOC 2 Type II. A Data Processing Agreement is part of onboarding.
