The Future of Building Management Starts with Readerless Mobile Access

This one’s for the unsung heroes who keep the lights on—literally.
Whether they manage one site or dozens across cities or continents, Building and Facility Managers are the quiet superpower behind commercial real estate.

They don’t just maintain buildings. They keep entire organizations running smoothly.

And at Sentry Interactive, we’re here to make their lives easier.

Building Management: The Job No One Sees, But Everyone Relies On

Let’s be honest: most employees have no idea what their building manager actually does.

Unless they’ve lost their key fob (again), they probably never think about the person coordinating repairs, managing vendors, troubleshooting internet outages, keeping HVAC humming, or ensuring deliveries get where they need to go, all without disrupting the day-to-day.

And let’s not forget access control.For buildings still using keycards and fobs, that means a lot of time spent issuing replacements, logging lost credentials, ordering new ones, and updating spreadsheets.

The reality? It’s tedious, manual, and totally outdated.

With Sentry Interactive’s mobile credentialing software for readerless mobile NFC door access, that entire process gets an upgrade.

From Hours to Minutes: Secure Mobile Access That Just Works

Imagine giving your staff and visitors secure access, without printing plastic, without shipping badges, and without touching a single piece of hardware.

With Sentry Interactive, access credentialing is all digital.

  • No physical reader upgrades necessary
  • Setup in hours, all remotely
  • Manage from anywhere, 24/7

Whether you’re onboarding full-time employees, hosting VIP guests, or granting access to tradespeople, mobile credentialing can all be done remotely and with Sentry Interactive’s software solution you don’t even need to upgrade any reader hardware. 

Time-limited digital visitor passes provide a convenient option for visitors visiting on a single occasion. The recipient receives a link to a secure QR code scanner where they can scan the QR code on the Smart Access Tile. Their phone becomes the reader.

For frequent users, they can access via NFC keyless door entry within their building experience or access control providers mobile app.

No Hardware, No Hassle, No Downtime

The beauty of Sentry Interactive’s mobile credentialing software is how effortlessly it integrates into your world.

  • No wires
  • No system rip-outs
  • No expensive tech rip and replace

It’s fully cloud-based, works within your existing access control infrastructure, and requires zero site visits to deploy. You don’t even need to be in the building to get everything up and running.

Your team can control access, revoke credentials, and monitor real-time entry logs, all from any browser, anywhere in the world.

Goodbye Plastic. Hello Planet.

We’re not just helping managers save time, we’re helping the planet.

The plastic card industry generates billions of keycards and fobs annually. Many end up lost, broken, or tossed.

Sentry Interactive’s readerless approach to mobile access replaces all that with digital credentials while eliminating reader hardware upgrades, reducing waste and slashing your carbon footprint.

It’s a greener, smarter way to secure your space.

Ready in Minutes. Powerful for Years.

You don’t need an army of engineers or weeks of downtime to modernize your access control.

Mobile access can be live in minutes, and from that moment on, your building becomes:

  • More secure
  • Easier to manage
  • More eco-friendly
  • 100% future-ready

No cards. No fobs. No friction.
