Delivering interoperable mobile access via tenant and member experience applications

Today’s commercial real estate and workplace ecosystems demand seamless, secure, and integrated experiences for tenants, employees, and members. With hybrid work, flex spaces, and digital-first expectations having reshaped the built environment, workplace experience applications must evolve to offer a full range of workplace services, including digital keys for access.

Interoperable mobile credential software developed by companies like Sentry Interactive is empowering PropTech applications with a new offering for their customers, by providing mobile credentials that are stored and managed within their software, and work seamlessly with the existing access control system in a building, without replacing any reader hardware. Providing a value add and a complete mobile first tenant and visitor experience.

Unlock the power of readerless mobile access in your platform 

Sentry Interactive’s mobile credential SDK embeds within the tenant and member experience application and the building’s access control system to offer a readerless transition to mobile access for end users.  

That means users can:

  • Unlock doors with their smartphones via contactless NFC, QR code entry, or remote widget access
  • Provision permanent or time-limited mobile access remotely in real-time
  • Eliminate lost cards, shared fobs, or manual reissuance of credentials
  • Maintain enterprise-grade security and compliance standards
  • Integrate mobile access seamlessly with the existing physical access control infrastructure, no reader replacements required

Enhance your platform’s experience value

Workplace experience platforms like HqO, Kinexio, and Locale offer tools for space reservation, real-time analytics, service requests, and visitor management. Sentry Interactive can enhance these offerings with integrated NFC mobile credentials, making it part of a complete tenant experience.

Imagine this user flow:

  • Book a desk or meeting room through your app
  • Access the building or room with your phone
  • Get real-time insights on access events and usage trends
  • Manage visitor credentials digitally with time sensitive access permissions.

Locale, a UK-based digital engagement platform, already delivers tenant engagement through services like announcements, delivery tracking, help desk integration, and visitor management. By embedding Sentry Interactive’s mobile credential software, platforms like Locale can extend their services to offer a readerless transition to mobile access.

Why interoperable mobile credential software is the future

Modern tenants expect intuitive mobile first experiences across every aspect of their environment, including how they access it. As buildings and workplaces become smarter, mobile access is no longer a nice-to-have, it’s a must-have. And with a readerless transition to mobile access offered by Sentry Interactive and their mobile credential SDK, it doesn’t have to be a costly and disruptive process.  

With Sentry Interactive’s mobile credential SDK integration workplace experience platforms can:

  • Offer readerless NFC mobile access as a feature
  • Create frictionless onboarding experiences for tenants and staff
  • Reduce hardware dependencies and provisioning delays
  • Provide building owners and operators with real-time access data and analytics
