ONE SYSTEM
A single platform — hardware and software, always in sync
PeopleKey Nexus is built on a single codebase spanning both software and the firmware running on your biometric scanners. That means every update — whether to the platform or your devices — rolls out automatically, without downtime and without anyone needing to do anything.
No version mismatches. No manual firmware upgrades. No waiting for your IT team to schedule a maintenance window. You’re always on the latest version.
- Tightly integrated hardware and software from a single vendor
- Automatic over-the-air updates to scanners and platform simultaneously
- Zero downtime upgrades — no maintenance windows required
- Single support team across your entire stack

SECURITY AND RELIABILITY
Your workforce data is protected to the highest standards
Nexus runs on Microsoft Azure, certified to ISO 27001, ISO 27018, and PCI-DSS. All data is hosted within Australian data centres — it never leaves the country.
Over the past 12 months, platform uptime has been 99.95%. And if a connection goes down at a site, your scanners keep working — storing clockings on-device and synchronising automatically the moment connectivity returns.
Every scanner authenticates with PeopleKey Nexus via a unique, per-device cryptographic token — generated only when a device is connected to your account, unique to your installation, and never passed over the wire. Our security team conducts regular penetration testing across both hardware and software.
CONTINUOUS IMPROVEMENT
A platform that evolves with your business
PeopleKey doesn’t ship a product and move on. We work directly with our customers to identify what’s needed, and continuously roll improvements into the platform — at no extra cost, with no disruption.
Because Nexus is a single unified codebase rather than a collection of bolt-on modules, new features are available to every customer simultaneously. You don’t need to upgrade, migrate, or request access. If it’s in Nexus, you have it.
- Customer-driven feature development
- All updates available to all customers simultaneously
- No version fragmentation — one codebase, one platform
- Dedicated Australian support team behind every release
