Our Story

Welcome to BioConnect

Founded in Toronto, Canada in 2010, BioConnect has grown into a global leader in biometric access control with offices throughout the US & Canada and over 2,200 customers worldwide.

For over 15 years, BioConnect has been providing biometric access control solutions to verify a person’s identity and protect valuable assets. We believe that trust is earned, not marketed, and our mission is to empower organizations with security solutions that deliver on real-world challenges.

When BioConnect introduced the Trust Platform, it enabled enterprises to finally connect all of their existing access control systems, biometric readers, mobile authenticators, and small-space access control into one unified system spanning the entire organization.

Expanding Our Capabilities

In 2021, BioConnect acquired MedixSafe, a long-time partner and supplier of secure access solutions for Narcotics Safes, Cabinets, and Lockers. This strategic move positioned BioConnect and MedixSafe as the industry’s premier provider of security solutions at scale—delivering trusted identity authentication across physical, IoT, and digital applications.

In 2024, BioConnect further expanded its security and asset-tracking capabilities by acquiring IntelliView (formerly Silent Partner Technologies), a leader in RFID-based asset tracking solutions. This acquisition brings together cutting-edge biometric authentication with advanced asset tracking, enabling organizations to secure and track their most valuable assets in real-time. By combining IntelliView’s RFID technology with BioConnect’s identity verification platform, enterprises can establish a unified security ecosystem that protects both physical access points and high-value assets.

Driving the Future of Access Control

BioConnect was the first to bring to market a biometric mobile authenticator for physical access, allowing enterprises to secure their doors and spaces using biometric identity verification directly from a mobile device. This innovation eliminates the need for keycards, PINs, and passwords—making access control more secure, convenient, and adaptable to the modern security landscape.
