Partnership Announcement: Sentry Interactive + ForeTees Cub Management Software 

Sentry Interactive, the provider of readerless NFC mobile credential software, is excited to have formed a partnership with ForeTees club management software, to help streamline member access, management and operations.

[Austin, Texas – May 22, 2025]  Sentry Interactive’s readerless NFC mobile credential technology can now be embedded into the ForeTees platform, to provide added member convenience and enhanced mobile access security. Mitigating club security risks and maximizing staff and member safety through cloud-based management of your mobile access users from any web browser or mobile device.

The ForeTees club management software streamlines member management operations from member onboarding, facility bookings, access permissions, payments and more, all in one centralized platform and mobile app. Supporting a variety of sports and leisure clubs and their members via tailored digital solutions. The collaboration with Sentry Interactive enables ForeTees 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 ForeTees features such as facility and room booking, check-in, and club insight reports, to provide an even more streamlined and digitized member experience.

“Sentry’s readerless mobile credential integration with ForeTees now provides our customers with the option to use and manage mobile credentials within our platform making for a complete mobile access management solution for members and staff, as well as the clever integration for bookings and payments, says Bob Parise, President and Founder of ForeTees. Bob continues…, “The full interoperability with the major access control systems that Sentry Interactive have in their portfolio made integrating using their SDK a no brainer as a value add for our customers and platform”.

Sentry Interactive’s readerless mobile credential solution enables members and guests to use their mobile phone to unlock doors via the ClubCentral by ForeTees app. Digital keys are stored within the app and work seamlessly with the existing physical access control systems without having to update any hardware. 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 the ClubCentral by ForeTees 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 with mobile software updates and follows NIST cybersecurity best practices.

“Our mission is to provide a seamless mobile credential experience, without needing to physically upgrade the current physical access control system”, says Denis Hébert, Chairman and CEO of Sentry Interactive. Denis continues… “By integrating our readerless mobile credentials with ForeTees, members will benefit from a digital access and booking experience, while receiving the highest level of mobile access security”.

The strategic partnership between Sentry Interactive and ForeTees represents a significant development in issuing mobile credentials with the sports and member club space. Combining their expertise, the two companies together will deliver complete interoperability of smart access management, no matter which major access control systems are running in a sports, leisure or country club.
