The FutureState Platform

One platform.
Every credential.

Cloud-native, API-first, vendor-agnostic — one identity layer powering a family of credentialing, access, and commerce solutions.

Independent products. Fluid together.

Each FutureState product stands on its own. CardSync is a network that connects an ID to everything around it. CardPulse is where a team configures CardSync rules, integrations, and views centralized credential documentation, reporting, and everything credentials. RollCall is real-time credential validation at the exact moment you need it — events, attendance, and so much more. BalanceU is everything meal plans — pure meal plans, no lock-in to credential production. Use one, use a few, or use all five. Paired together, you get a truly fluid, open, and secure environment for your ID program.

Why teams choose FutureState

Built on three commitments.

Cloud-native

Elastic, resilient, and continuously delivered. No servers to babysit, no maintenance windows that take credentials offline.

API-first

Every capability is an API before it’s a screen. Integrate FutureState into the systems you already run.

Vendor-agnostic

No lock-in to a single card vendor or partner system. Connect what you have and swap freely.

The FutureState family

Credentials & Commerce. Intentionally separate.

Each product solves a real problem on its own. Together they're an operating system for the modern ID programs.

CardSync

The central credential authority

One source of truth for every credential.

CardSync issues, replaces, suspends, and revokes credentials — then propagates every event to every system that depends on them. Infrastructure, not an application.

Explore CardSync
CardPulse

Configure. Observe. Reconcile.

The admin app for everything credentials.

Monitor credential lifecycle events, compare CardSync against connected systems, and resolve drift before users feel it — from a single console.

RollCall

Real-time validation

Turn any device into a credential reader.

Pair an iPad, phone, laptop, or desktop with a reader and validate a credential against live CardSync data — in lecture halls, clinics, events, or anywhere a check-in matters.

BalanceU

Meal plans, made simple.

A mobile-first experience for students and an easy console for the card office. Plans, deposits, and balances — wherever students eat, shop, or print.

BalanceU Kiosk

An iPad on the line.

A native iPadOS kiosk for dining halls and cafeterias — one tap, one meal, one location. Self-service by default, with a cashier-assisted mode when staff need it.

A platform that lives in the real world

An ID, made for so much more.

Doors, yes. But also the dining hall, the parking gate, the printer, the lab access point, the bus, the bookstore, the gym, the residence hall — and the dozen systems behind them. One credential, everywhere it’s needed.

  • Mobile credential at the door (Apple & Google Wallet)
  • Real-time revocation across every reader
  • One source of truth from issuance to expiration
Trust

Security & compliance, built in.

SSO and SAML/OIDC, role-based access control, encryption in transit and at rest, and a complete audit trail — on a platform designed for the systems campuses depend on.
