Sentry Interactive, the provider of readerless NFC mobile credential software, is excited to have formed a partnership with Coworks flex workspace platform, to help streamline member access, management and operations.
Sentry’s readerless NFC mobile credential technology is now embedded into the Coworks platform to provide added member convenience and enhanced mobile access security. Mitigating security risks and maximizing staff and member safety through cloud-based management of your mobile access users from any web browser or mobile device.
Coworks streamlines flex workspace member management operations from member onboarding, room bookings, access permissions, payments and more, all in one centralized platform and mobile app. Coworks supports a variety of coworking and flex space operators and their members via tailored digital solutions. The collaboration with Sentry Interactive enables Coworks customers to add mobile credentials and time-limited digital guest passes into their platform without having to replace their existing access control hardware. The readerless mobile credential SDK complements Coworks features such as facility and room booking, check-in, membership management, and building and room occupancy data with mobile credential door unlock insight reports, to provide an even more streamlined and digitized member experience.
“Sentry Interactive’s readerless mobile credential integration with Coworks gives our customers the option to add mobile credentials for their coworking and flex spaces within our platform” Says Deshawn Brown, CEO of Coworks. Deshawn continues, “We are all about value for our users, and the integration with an extensive number of access control systems made embedding Sentry Interactive’s SDK into our platform a natural choice. Now our customers won’t need to upgrade their readers to benefit from NFC mobile access. We are able to provide a complete mobile access management solution for members and staff.”
Sentry Interactive’s readerless mobile credential solution enables members and guests to use their mobile phone to unlock doors through their software solution that sits on top of existing pre-installed physical access control systems (PACS). End users can use their mobile phone 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 the Coworks application that works on both iOS and Android. By using the user’s phone as the active NFC reader, security always stays up-to-date in the same way that your mobile phone’s OS software does.
“Our mission is to eliminate the need for unnecessary reader e-waste and provide future life to legacy hardware without needing to physically upgrade the current access control system” says Marwan Kathayer, Head of Product at Sentry Interactive. Marwan continues… “By integrating Sentry’s readerless mobile credentials with your physical access control system and Coworks platform, you will benefit from integrated coworking and flex workspace management and will receive the highest level of NIST cyber secure mobile access”.
The strategic partnership between Sentry Interactive and Coworks represents a significant development in issuing mobile credentials for flex and coworking operators. Combining their expertise, the two companies together will deliver complete interoperability of smart access management, no matter which major physical access control systems are running in the workspace.
