"Sentry Interactive’s integration with RightCrowd provides a new and differentiated path to mobility for end users and channel partners that are looking to embrace the efficiency and security involved with mobile access credentials without the cost and complexity challenges that have inhibited adoption thus far."
Jason BohrerCEO of RightCrowd
"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”
Imron HussainPresident & Founder of IMRON
"Sentry’s promise of a software solution that integrated with our existing access control hardware to provide smartphone entry provided a quick integration without the need for new hardware and expensive installation. We also reduced administration time and cost by eliminating the need for traditional key cards and reducing the security risks these pose."
Ben NewtonHead of Operations at PATCH
"The open APIs and SDK allowed us to integrate the readerless access control software with our existing PAC access control system hardware and the Locale tenant experience platform that we use. Creating a unified access management solution embedded in our Locale app has resulted in a unified platform where occupiers can enjoy keyless, secure NFC mobile entry through their Android or iOS phone"
Tobie ChapmanEstates Management at Colliers
"Access control system ‘rip and replace’ of existing and perfectly functioning hardware goes against our sustainable ethos. By not needing to remove any of our old readers and access infrastructure it meant there was no need for electronic plastic waste, any rewiring, repainting and re-plastering."
Nathan D’AlessandriAssociate Director, Governance & Compliance Lead at LB Navana
"Having NFC mobile access control integrated with the InterGate app is critical to first-class user experience and visitor management. With Sentry Interactive embedded in our app we can now provide room booking management and understand building and room usage across our clients’ portfolios.”
Greg SutcliffeManaging Director of InterGate
