Sentry Interactive, a provider of award-winning readerless mobile credential software, is excited to announce a strategic partnership with IMRON Corporation, known for its powerful web-based software, UnityIS®, designed for complete physical security control across any industry.
This partnership combines NFC mobile credential technology embedded into the IMRON UnityIS® platform, enhancing security and convenience with NFC mobile credentials, while enabling web-based management of access control systems from any browser or mobile device.
IMRON Corporation’s web-based physical security software, UnityIS®, perfectly complements Sentry Interactive’s award-winning readerless NFC mobile credential technology. UnityIS® offers centralized management for physical access control, video systems, intrusion detection, visitor management, AI analytics, and cybersecurity—all from a single dashboard. Its intuitive interface streamlines identity and access management for both physical and mobile credentials.
With the integration of Sentry Interactive’s readerless NFC mobile credential software with UnityIS®, enterprises can seamlessly track user identity and access data, regardless of whether access is granted through physical cards or mobile devices. Access data flows back to UnityIS® from the PACS, creating an audit log that ensures compliance with security and safety protocols. With UnityIS®, management of cardholders and credentials is automated, whether they are physical access cards or mobile credentials provisioned via Sentry’s integration. This partnership allows customers to maintain their existing physical access control systems while future-proofing their credentialing process with Sentry Interactive’s readerless integration, delivering a cutting-edge NFC mobile credential experience without the need for new door readers.
“The integration with UnityIS® closely supports our mission to eliminate the need for unnecessary rip and replace and provide a further lease of life to legacy hardware without needing to physically upgrade the current physical access control system” says Marwan Kathayer, Head of Product at Sentry Interactive. Marwan continues… “By integrating Sentry’s readerless mobile credentials with the UnityIS platform, you will benefit from integrated management of secure mobile credentials and physical access control in a centralized web-based platform.”
Sentry Interactive’s readerless mobile credential solution enables cardholders to use their mobile phone to unlock doors through their software solution that sits on top of disparate pre-installed physical access control systems (PACS). End users can use their smartphone to unlock a door via tap-to-unlock NFC technology, iOS, or Android widgets, and QR code scan. A single NFC digital key can provide access to a portfolio of doors via one application that works on both iOS and Android. Sentry offers a consistent, convenient, and readerless door entry experience, that uses the user’s phone as the active NFC reader at the door, which requires no replacement of existing access control infrastructure. End-users benefit from scalable and convenient mobile credentials that enhance existing security systems with NIST compliance encryption standards.
“Sentry’s readerless mobile credential integration with UnityIS® provides our customers with the option to use and manage mobile credentials alongside physical credential access management via our platform,” says Imron Hussain, President and Founder of IMRON Corporation. “The future of full interoperability for non-proprietary security and access control systems has arrived. Using Sentry’s SDK we are providing customers not only with the extensive feature set that comes with the UnityIS® platform but now they can also benefit from Sentry’s award-winning NFC mobile credential technology solution also in our platform”.
The strategic partnership between Sentry Interactive and IMRON Corporation represents a significant development in issuing mobile credentials alongside physical credentials under a single centralized platform. Combining their expertise, the two companies together will deliver complete interoperability of smart access management for both physical credentials and mobile credentials, no matter which major access control systems are running in a building.
