The readerless mobile access SDK for PropTech platforms

The modern workplace has evolved rapidly, requiring businesses to strike a balance between safety, employee satisfaction, and space and asset management. Modern approaches, such as hybrid work models, provide flexibility but do not address seamless workplace, tenant and user experience needs. 

The real solution lies in advanced software, specifically embedding software into established software platforms to create all encompassing and full service platforms that include readerless mobile credentialing at its core to facilitate secure, readerless access to office spaces via PropTech applications.

As access control manufacturers and their users navigate the future of security and convenience, Sentry Interactive presents an opportunity to enhance existing systems with state-of-the-art NFC mobile credentialing software, which enables platforms to integrate readerless mobile access into their solutions, eliminating the need for physical keycards or fobs while maintaining superior security, functionality and user convenience within their platforms.

Seamless mobile access integration with workplace management software

To accommodate the dynamic nature of today’s workplace, businesses are adopting workplace management, tenant engagement and member management software to oversee office space utilization, desk reservations, and meeting room bookings. By integrating within these platforms, Sentry Interactive’s NFC mobile access technology enhances the value of platforms through the physical access control system installed in the building, enabling:

  • In platform cloud-based mobile credentials for NFC keyless mobile entry 
  • Seamless interoperability with existing access control hardware without the need for door reader upgrades
  • Real-time monitoring and analytics
  • Frictionless employee and digital visitor access management
  • Integration with room booking and space management features

Examples of workplace management platforms are OfficeSpace Software and Eptura. All-in-one platforms enable the ability to book a room or a desk through the platform accessible via a mobile or desktop app. Based on real-time data analysis of room and desk usage, as well as the location of staff members, helps to create a transparent dynamic work environment.

Transforming access control with IoT and real-time data

Sentry Interactive’s readerless mobile access solution can leverage IoT sensors and real-time data analytics to enhance workplace security and efficiency. By integrating with existing access control infrastructure, platforms can:

  • Create further differentiation and expand on their value proposition with a leading-edge readerless mobile access solution
  • Real-time logged door and room occupancy for PropTech platform analytics and tracking
  • Enhance security with dynamic, future first software for data-driven access 
  • Reduce touchpoints and improve compliance with safety regulations

The ability to see real-time data means workplace functions such as lighting and air quality systems can be managed effectively and efficiently helping to cut carbon emissions within the wider real estate and contributing to achieving commercial real estate emission targets. Embedding our readerless mobile credential software into workplace management platforms enables our solution to work as a feature within an intelligent platform. Examples include Smartspaces and Nexudus. Nexudus is a leading white-label platform for the management of coworking and flexible workspaces. Users of the platform are able to manage desk space, make bookings and manage visitors as well as benefit from the platform’s various integrations which include facility management tools, accounting tools and communication tools such as Slack and Zoom.

Enhancing property technology through digital access

SaaS platforms are also playing a key role in driving CRE management and engagement through creating dynamic, efficient workplace communities. Sentry Interactive’s software seamlessly integrates with digital property management platforms, these integrations provide:

  • Secure, automated visitor and tenant mobile access management
  • Mobile app-based access control for increased convenience
  • Customizable access settings tailored to tenant and employer needs

Example, Locale, a leading provider of tailored digital solutions to commercial, residential and mixed-use property in the UK offers building managers and occupiers the benefit of a portal and app. A one-stop-shop that is designed to enable all those with building touchpoints instant access information and tools. Including: announcements, help desk services, deliveries, visitor management, document storage, offers and promotions, to engage with their space and those that share it.

The platform is embedded in a building’s DNA through a customisable solution that facilitates secure, visible, accessible information with instant communication via the mobile or desktop portal. The portal delivers tangible efficiencies and is backed up with an unrivalled customer experience team to ensure a seamless user experience.

The Future of Access Control is through integrated software solutions 

As PropTech applications look to stay ahead of the curve they must embrace mobile credentialing as a key component of future security solutions. By integrating with Sentry Interactive’s readerless mobile access technology, 

they can future-proof their systems, offering businesses:

  • A seamless, cost-effective transition to keyless entry with NFC technology
  • Increased security through cloud-based authentication
  • A flexible, future-ready workplace solution that meets evolving business needs

Integrated software solutions pave the way for easy adoption of real estate workspaces to becoming smart and safe spaces without the costs and hardships associated with replacing infrastructure and hardware. Investments by businesses into SaaS are returned through increased productivity of the workforce through time savings and connectivity. Innovative workplace management enables workers to connect via communication platforms. With the help of technology and cloud-based software solutions, workplace efficiency and flexibility is at its peak and helping to propel the future of the office forward for decades to come.

Partnering with Sentry Interactive ensures that PropTech applications remain at the forefront of innovation, providing cutting-edge solutions that redefine workplace security, efficiency and mobile access.

PedroTenant, RMG Managed Property
“I ended up with a large amount of empty office space that I didn't know what to do with following the pandemic. Sentry Interactive was the perfect solution to sub let the space for coworking. This enabled me to turn desks into hot desks to enable flexible working and use for existing employees that wanted to return to the office”.
LucMD at Liberty Resourcing, Ltd
“Sentry Mobile Access is exactly what I need. I required a room to perform consultations with clients and found an existing office that would be ideal. I pay for the room only when I need it, I turn up and tap to unlock. I can even unlock with one tap on my Apple Watch. It’s simple and easy”.
CharlotteCEO and Founder at The Health Nutritionist
“I required a place to work from and host client meetings in downtown Lisbon. I book and pay for the meeting room a few times a week. To enter the meeting room I use NFC on my iPhone and touch the phone against the tile that has an NFC chip built-in to unlock the door. The Sentry app is easy and quick to use. Works just how I need it too”.
LéoCreative Art Director at LB Dsgns
“After WFH for sometime I got tired of the lack of space, distractions and no separation between work and home. I wanted some flexible workspace every now and then but didn’t want to pay WeWork prices. My friend recommended Sentry Interactive to be able to hot desk at the same place she does. It’s simple to book and pay for the space as and when I need it. All I need is my smartphone to unlock the office door for the time I’ve paid for”.
EliseCRO Specialist at Swift Monkey
“Being a multi-tenant landlord for a few office buildings there are times when space isn’t being used fully. I was able to use Sentry Mobile Access to help fill up the empty space I had when tenants couldn’t come up with internal uses for it. It’s been easy to attract new flexible workspace tenants thanks to Sentry’s app”.
