Problem
Traditional access control systems require costly hardware upgrades, especially when transitioning to mobile access, causing disruption and financial strain for organizations. Managing physical credentials and disparate access systems across multiple buildings can be complex and inefficient.
Solution
Sentry Interactive provides a readerless NFC mobile access solution that allows users to unlock doors using their smartphones without requiring expensive hardware replacements. By embedding Sentry's mobile credential SDK into existing physical access control (PACS), tenant, and member management platforms, organizations can unify access management across multiple buildings and systems. The solution leverages the user's smartphone as an active NFC reader, paired with easy-to-install Smart Access Tiles, ensuring secure entry without disrupting existing infrastructure. Sentry Interactive's software integrates with over 20 PACS and offers features like remote visitor credentialing, customizable access levels, and audit logging for enhanced security and operational efficiency.
Target Audience
Sentry Interactive targets commercial real estate operators, healthcare facilities, higher education institutions, and fitness & wellness centers seeking to upgrade their access control systems to mobile without incurring significant hardware costs. The solution also caters to physical access control system (PACS) manufacturers looking to quickly scale mobile credentialing capabilities.
