SGBuildex is the **national data backbone** for Singapore's Built Environment — a neutral, government-aligned exchange that lets every system on a construction site (biometric turnstiles, site management platforms, ERP, regulator portals) speak to each other through a single, schema-validated channel. It is not another marketplace and not a data lake; it is a **pass-through** with cryptographic provenance. For biometric authentication system (BAS) vendors like XiD, that means three things: 1. **One integration replaces dozens.** Instead of building bespoke APIs to every main contractor's site management platform, we connect once to SGBuildex and our customers' headcount, time-attendance, and event data flow through to whichever main contractor, sub-contractor, or regulator needs them. 2. **The May 2026 CPD mandate is enforceable.** BCA's Construction Productivity Data submissions move from manual ePSS uploads to **machine-generated, schema-validated** flows. Biometric vendors that cannot emit a CPD-shaped record in real time will not survive the audit pass. 3. **Data sovereignty stays with the customer.** SGBuildex routes — it does not store. Every byte still belongs to the main contractor or sub-contractor that captured it; XiD remains the system of record on-prem and at the edge. ## Where XiD sits today XiD Technologies Pte Ltd is listed by SGBuildex as an **Upcoming Integration** under [Biometric Authentication Systems → Connected Solutions](https://www.dextech.ai/our-dexes/sgbuildex/sgbuildex-connected-solutions/). Our roadmap to full integration mirrors the CPD timeline: - **Now → Q4 2025**: schema mapping. CPD record fields are aligned with the XiD event model emitted by every RevoFace Neo and partner-brand reader (ZKTeco, HIK Vision, Hanvon). - **Q1 2026**: certification window — connectivity, replay, error handling. - **By May 2026**: live CPD pass-through for every project provisioned in our [App XiD ePSS SaaS](https://docs.xidtech.com/), with no integration work required from main contractors. ## The "Integration Tax" — and what we eliminate Today, every site office in Singapore juggles a tangled mesh of point-to-point integrations: biometric attendance to site management platform, site management platform to ERP, ERP to ePSS, ePSS to a project manager's spreadsheet, spreadsheet back to BCA. Each link must be built, tested, maintained — and breaks every time an API or schema changes. With SGBuildex's **Connect Once, Connect All** framework, the topology collapses. Biometric events captured at the turnstile by a RevoFace Neo or an integrated multi-brand reader are pushed once into the exchange. Authorised parties — main contractor, sub-contractor, regulator — pull their slice via a unified schema. No more reconciliation Excel files. No more "who has the latest CPD?". ## What this changes for our customers If you are a main contractor or specialist sub-contractor running XiD today: - **Nothing breaks.** Your existing dashboards, ePSS reports, and exports keep working exactly as they do now. - **You opt in to SGBuildex per project.** Once you turn it on, your CPD submissions become automated and your sub-contractors stop chasing you for monthly reconciliations. - **You retain full control of access policy.** Granular consent at the project level: who in the SGBuildex graph can see what record class, for how long, with what audit trail. ## What this changes for SGBuildex partners and main contractors If you are a main contractor evaluating BAS vendors against the May 2026 deadline, the question is no longer "does this vendor have a nice dashboard". It is: **"can this vendor emit SGBuildex-shaped CPD records, today?"** XiD's answer is yes — and unlike legacy single-device vendors, our [multi-device strategy](https://docs.xidtech.com/) means you can cover every gate on every site (ZKTeco, HIK Vision, Hanvon, our own RevoFace Neo) and still get one unified data stream into SGBuildex. ## Get ready - Read the SGBuildex story: [SGBuildex — National Data Backbone for the Built Environment](https://www.dextech.ai/sgbuildex-national-data-backbone-built-environment/) - Confirm XiD's connected-solutions listing: [SGBuildex Connected Solutions](https://www.dextech.ai/our-dexes/sgbuildex/sgbuildex-connected-solutions/) - Provision a sandbox: [App XiD Biometric ePSS SaaS](https://app.xidtech.com/signup) - Talk to us: **+65 6282 6500** or [info@xidtech.com](mailto:info@xidtech.com) The window for a clean transition is twelve months and shrinking.
