Ben NewtonHead of Operations, Patch

TomDirector at Cowork

FreddyCEO at Savvy
"I can strongly recommend their mobile access software solution works perfectly alongside my existing Paxton access control hardware"
LisaFD at Estate Insurance Group (EIG)
"Being a multi-tenant building landlord, I need to be able to provide access for multiple tradespeople, and have visibility of the comings and goings to ensure my buildings are secure and run efficiently. Being able to issue visitor passes for specific entry and exit times solves the need to be at the building to let the workmen in".
NickChairman at Property Consolidation, LLP

ArilmaOffice Manager, Property Consolidation LLP
"It seems super safe. The app is really well designed and easy to use. The widget is very convenient to open the door from a distance (especially in times of Covid, when it is nice to avoid touching door handles, etc)".
PedroTenant, RMG Managed Property
“I ended up with a large amount of empty office space that I didn't know what to do with following the pandemic. Sentry Interactive was the perfect solution to sub let the space for coworking. This enabled me to turn desks into hot desks to enable flexible working and use for existing employees that wanted to return to the office”.
LucMD at Liberty Resourcing, Ltd
“Sentry Mobile Access is exactly what I need. I required a room to perform consultations with clients and found an existing office that would be ideal. I pay for the room only when I need it, I turn up and tap to unlock. I can even unlock with one tap on my Apple Watch. It’s simple and easy”.
CharlotteCEO and Founder at The Health Nutritionist
“I required a place to work from and host client meetings in downtown Lisbon. I book and pay for the meeting room a few times a week. To enter the meeting room I use NFC on my iPhone and touch the phone against the tile that has an NFC chip built-in to unlock the door. The Sentry app is easy and quick to use. Works just how I need it too”.
LéoCreative Art Director at LB Dsgns
“After WFH for sometime I got tired of the lack of space, distractions and no separation between work and home. I wanted some flexible workspace every now and then but didn’t want to pay WeWork prices. My friend recommended Sentry Interactive to be able to hot desk at the same place she does. It’s simple to book and pay for the space as and when I need it. All I need is my smartphone to unlock the office door for the time I’ve paid for”.
EliseCRO Specialist at Swift Monkey
“Being a multi-tenant landlord for a few office buildings there are times when space isn’t being used fully. I was able to use Sentry Mobile Access to help fill up the empty space I had when tenants couldn’t come up with internal uses for it. It’s been easy to attract new flexible workspace tenants thanks to Sentry’s app”.
