From a hardware focused industry to one welcoming SaaS – How the access control industry is leveraging SaaS for the future of mobile access
The access control industry is moving beyond hardware-centric upgrades toward SaaS mobile access solutions that integrate with legacy systems, reducing hardware costs and disruption. Software-first mobile credentials improve user experience, operational efficiency, and scalability while extending existing infrastructure.

The importance of connected technologies for today and tomorrow
Connected technologies like cloud-based mobile access enhance security and flexibility by linking systems, improving real-time visibility, and enabling seamless credential management without replacing existing hardware. This connectivity boosts operational efficiency and future-proofs access control strategies.

Leveraging the power of the smartphone to complete the evolution of mobile access
Sentry Interactive’s software uses smartphones as both credential and reader, bypassing legacy hardware to deliver cloud-native, secure mobile access with remote provisioning, modern authentication, and scalable deployment. This evolutionary approach completes the shift to a true mobile access solution.

Delivering interoperable mobile access via tenant and member experience applications
Tenant and member experience platforms can embed interoperable mobile credential software to let users unlock doors with smartphones via NFC, QR codes, or remote access, eliminating cards and hardware upgrades while enhancing security, convenience, and real-time provisioning within existing systems.

Delivering a sustainable software-based transition to mobile credentials for access control manufacturers
Access control manufacturers can use software-based mobile credentials that don’t rely on reader hardware and work with existing systems to avoid new hardware, reduce plastic and e-waste, lower costs, and support sustainability goals by extending legacy infrastructure with readerless mobile access solutions.

How Club Experience Platforms Are Unlocking Doors Without Hardware Installs With Interoperable Readerless Mobile Access Software
Club experience platforms can embed interoperable readerless mobile access software so members unlock doors with their smartphones via NFC or QR codes, without installing new hardware. This enhances convenience, security, and integration with existing systems through software-only mobile credentials.

Interoperable Mobile Credentialing Software That Works Within Workplace Management Systems
Interoperable mobile credential software lets organisations integrate mobile access with workplace systems like HR, identity, and IT platforms, avoiding separate proprietary solutions. This centralizes management, automates permissions, reduces manual work, and scales mobile access without disrupting existing infrastructure.

The interoperable mobile credentialing solution for proximity access control systems
Sentry Interactive’s interoperable mobile credentialing software lets access control manufacturers enable mobile access on legacy proximity systems without replacing readers. It supports QR, NFC, and remote entry options, modernizing security while reducing hardware costs and installation disruption.

Why should access control manufacturers choose interoperable mobile credentialing software?
Access control manufacturers benefit from interoperable mobile credentialing software by offering seamless mobile access upgrades that integrate with existing systems, avoid costly hardware replacements, speed deployment, enhance customer experience, and support diverse applications and platforms without disrupting installed infrastructure.
