Enhanced cloud-based features drive efficiency, security, and accessibility for colleges and universities

SCOTTSDALE, Ariz.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–#campusmanagement–Transact Campus, Inc., “Transact” the award-winning leader in innovative campus technology, today announces the Transact IDX® Summer release. Transact IDX®, a cloud-based system, enables a comprehensive environment for colleges and universities, providing ID management, security, and retail operations across the entire campus ecosystem. This release delivers exceptional campus management, furthering an array of features that streamline operations, support security, and ensure the latest compliance.




Transact IDX® transforms and streamlines campus workflows, improves productivity, and provides substantial benefits to colleges and universities, including:

  • Reduced IT overhead. Studies show that moving to a cloud-native platform can reduce IT operational costs by up to 20% by eliminating the need for on-premises infrastructure maintenance, upgrades, management, and scaling, which consume valuable IT resources. With Transact IDX®, schools utilize Transact’s expert resources and cloud solutions, allowing the colleges to focus IT personnel on more strategic initiatives.
  • Enhanced security. The need for security and compliance has never been greater, and higher education is no exception. With a managed security program, including encryption, vulnerability scanning, embedded access controls, and continuous monitoring, schools using IDX can have peace of mind that they’re compliant and secure.
  • High availability and reliability. IDX guarantees high availability and reliability with its resilient geo-redundant cloud infrastructure, minimizing downtime and ensuring continuous access to critical applications.
  • Enhanced user experience. Cardholder management has been significantly simplified with global search capabilities, summary overviews, and color-coded icons that identify problem areas, making it easier for authorized administrators to manage accounts and modify credentials securely from any internet-connected browser.
  • Expanded integration capabilities. The latest release includes multiple integration technologies for easy third-party integrations and a certified solution marketplace, supporting a vast ecosystem of over 200 partners.

Key features of the new release include:

  • Simplified credential management. Enhances security and administrative efficiency by allowing more controlled management of credential distributions and value assignments—crucial for managing access and identities on large campuses.
  • Revamped meal plan management. Quickly create block or traditional reset style meal plans. Plans can be easily configured to match how they are advertised and sold, with components like weekly meals, guest meals, and stored value all associated with a single plan. This streamlines meal plan management and reporting, a central aspect of student life.
  • Door access and security integration. Configure door access control providers, get real-time cardholder data, and monitor errors in one interface. Credentials go straight to certified access control systems, hassle-free.
  • Proactive accessibility. Ongoing accessibility testing and engagement with the latest developments in assistive technologies ensure that solutions and services anticipate future needs. Each year, Transact publishes a Voluntary Product Accessibility Template (VPAT) for IDX, prepared by a third-party auditor, validating this commitment. This approach continually enhances the accessibility and user experience of solutions, making the campus environment inclusive for all users.

“With IDX we are continuously delivering advanced features and new innovations to our cloud-native platform. The Transact IDX® Summer release is particularly exciting because it marks a milestone with new features that together deliver the most powerful campus management, seamlessly providing credentials, payments, and security throughout colleges and universities,” said Rasheed Behrooznia, senior vice president and general manager of Campus ID at Transact. “Think of our system as the backbone of a thriving campus ecosystem, and our solutions help bridge all users, connecting them to a future-ready, modern, mobile, and user-friendly experience. I’m proud of our dedication to optimizing campus experience, whether through accessibility or the adoption of innovative technologies, and I’m thankful for our opportunity to bring these technologies to our clients.”
