01 · Omni-Channel

Meet Your Customers, Wherever They Are.

Polaris gives operators one identity engine, one compliance layer, and one management backend across self-service, retail, dealer, and field-assisted registration.

Self-Service Registration

For digital onboarding, eSIM activation, and remote subscriber verification — subscribers register themselves while the operator keeps the same verification and compliance rules.

  • Same identity engine and compliance rules as every other channel
  • Instant SIM & eSIM activation, fully auditable
  • 16,000+ document templates, one global standard

Agent & Dealer Registration

For retail stores, field teams, and dealer networks — giving operators full control and visibility across every distributed sales and registration channel.

  • Same identity engine and rules as self-service — no exceptions
  • Full visibility across agents, dealers, and retail locations
  • Works online or offline, with centralised audit trail

Self-service kiosk deployments also supported for selected use cases.

ProofSame rules. Same audit trail. Same subscriber identity — across every channel.

02 · Complete Subscriber Lifecycle

Every SIM Service. One Verified Subscriber Identity.

Polaris extends verified identity across the full SIM lifecycle — from new registration and SIM swap to number porting, ownership transfer, eSIM, updates, and activation. One identity-backed workflow for every high-risk SIM service.

ONE IDENTITY.
EVERY SERVICE.

04 · Operations & Fraud Control

See Everything. Stop Fraud in Real Time.

Every registration, every agent, every risk signal — visible in one command centre, flagging fraud before a SIM ever activates.

Fraud & Risk Alerts

Automated risk scoring flags duplicate identities, repeat SIM-swap attempts, reused device signatures, and failed liveness — the moment they happen, not after the fact.

  • Real-time alerts scored by severity, with full audit history
  • Duplicate-identity and SIM-swap-abuse detection built in

Review & Approval Queue

Registrations that don't pass automated checks route straight to a human review queue — nothing is silently auto-approved into a blind spot.

  • Pending, auto-approved, rejected, and escalated — tracked live
  • Configurable approval workflows per market or risk tier

Agent & Regional Performance

Live channel mix and per-region, per-dealer performance — registrations, activation rate, average time, and risk flags — so operators manage the network, not just watch it.

  • Live map of agent activity and flagged high-risk zones
  • Top-performing regions and dealers ranked automatically
Operations command centre monitoring registrations and fraud signals

ProofOne dashboard. Every channel, every agent, every risk — visible and actionable, in real time.

05 · The App Agents Actually Use

Simple to Learn. Built to Work Anywhere.

Registration doesn't stop when the signal does. Polaris's field app works fully offline, gives agents visibility into their own numbers, and takes minutes to learn — not weeks.

Offline & Realtime

Whether the network holds or drops, the app keeps working — real-time sync when connected, seamless offline capture when it's not.

  • Local queue survives app restarts and device reboots; retries automatically until it succeeds
  • Real-time updates the moment connectivity is available

Agent Feedback & Reports

Agents see their own numbers in the app — registrations, approval status, earnings, and active leads — not buried in a dashboard they never see.

  • Real-time earnings and commission tracking, visible the moment a sale counts
  • Incident tickets and team notifications live in the same screen

Ease of Use

A guided, step-by-step flow that takes minutes to learn, on the same screen whether it's a COMET device or a basic Android phone.

  • Guided prompts at every step — no separate training manual required
  • Same flow across every device tier, from entry-level Android to COMET 60

06 · System Management

Every Action, Accountable.

Six ways Polaris keeps the platform provable — who did what, why a registration passed or failed, and how every system talks to the ones around it.

Roles & Permissions

Every user, tenant, and action is scoped — MNO and National ID operators work in separate spaces, and nobody sees or touches data outside their mandate.

  • Granular permission model down to individual actions
  • Entity-scoped access — a network operator's admin never sees another tenant's subscribers

Regulators needing a standalone, cross-operator verification system should see the Government SIM Registry — Axon's separate, regulator-facing system.

Full Audit Trail

Every action — login, edit, approval, export — is logged with who, what, and when, so nothing is silently overwritten.

  • Immutable audit log across every module, exportable for compliance review
  • Field-level change tracking on registrant records, not just top-level events

Reporting

Every metric that matters is exportable and schedulable — not locked inside a dashboard only ops can see.

  • Configurable reports across registrations, approvals, agents, and compliance
  • Built for regulators and executives, not just operators

Configurable Approval

Auto-approval rules are entirely configurable per market or risk tier — operators decide exactly which checks must pass, and by how much.

  • Per-signal thresholds tuned without code changes
  • Record locking means two reviewers can never double-decide the same case

Transparent Scoring

Every decision shows its reasoning — real percentage scores per check, not a black-box pass/fail.

  • Named, scored signals (Face Match 92%, Liveness 88%…) replace opaque rule codes
  • Full verification history — compare any new capture against the original enrolment

Open Integrations

Polaris plugs into the vendors already doing the work — biometric matching, AML/PEP screening, document forensics — with live status and swappable providers.

  • Real-time connection health and success-rate monitoring per integration
  • Vendor-agnostic architecture — swap providers without touching the core platform
Polaris integration and architecture flow

ProofOne governed platform — every action logged, every decision explained, every integration accounted for.

07 · Security & Data Protection

Security by Design.

From architecture to deployment, Polaris is engineered to protect identities, data and transactions — with enterprise-grade security built into every layer.

Multi-Layered Authentication

Every login is verified beyond a password — device and browser signals, multiple authentication factors, and real-time alerts on anything that looks wrong.

  • Device ID and browser fingerprinting flag logins from unrecognised hardware
  • Security Alert Centre surfaces suspicious activity in real time

Encrypted at Rest

Biometric captures and sensitive credentials aren't stored as plain files — they're encrypted before they ever touch disk.

  • Face, fingerprint, and document images encrypted at rest, decrypted only on authorized access
  • Sensitive configuration encrypted the same way, never stored in the clear

Anti-Fraud Identity Verification

Every enrolment is checked against the person presenting it, not just the document they hand over.

  • Liveness detection and face-match scoring catch spoofed photos and stale captures
  • Document forensics detect photocopies and screen-replay attacks

Compliance Screening Built In

Every submission is automatically screened against AML, PEP, Interpol, and adverse-media watchlists.

  • Screening runs on every registration, results attached directly to the review record
  • Hits and warnings surface prominently to the reviewer, never buried in a log

Segregation of Duties

Once a reviewer opens a record to decide it, nobody else can approve, reject, or change it out from under them.

  • Record-level locking with automatic timeout
  • Every approve/reject is tied to the individual who made the call, permanently

Data Masking & Privacy Controls

Sensitive personal information can be selectively masked across the system, independent of who's allowed to view the underlying record.

  • Configurable per data field, not all-or-nothing
  • Viewing and changing masking rules are separately permissioned

08 · COMET Hardware

Purpose-Built Hardware for High-Volume Enrolment.

Polaris runs natively on Axon's COMET biometric devices — ruggedised Android hardware with integrated fingerprint, camera, card reader, and barcode scanner. One workflow, on the device that fits your rollout.

Every COMET ships NIST-certified fingerprint capture, face capture, 4G/WiFi/GPS and full offline operation. BYOD is supported too — Polaris runs on the Android phones and tablets operators already issue, with no forced hardware refresh.
