Access Control

What are Access Control Systems

Access control systems are a safe and convenient way to remotely control who can access your space and use its amenities.

Door locks in your space are linked to the access control system in which you create access groups. Access groups define a selection of doors that customers can unlock if they are part of the group. Each access group you create should include all the doors customers need to unlock in order to access an area of your space or a specific resource.

Access groups are then linked to Nexudus items such as passes, desks, offices or resources. Customers are automatically added to the linked access groups when they purchase a pass, book a resource, or rent a desk.

Why Use an Access Control System

Access control systems can improve your space's operations in several ways:

Extending Your Opening Hours

Customers can access different areas of your space and unlock doors autonomously, including when you don't have staff physically in the space.

Increasing Security

Customers can only access areas and unlock doors if they're part of an access group that grants them these access rights.

Getting Accurate Occupancy Reports

Customers are checked in and out as they unlock doors in your space which improves the accuracy of occupancy reports of resources, desks, and offices.

On-premise software is installed on one or more devices and can only be used on the devices where you install it. Cloud-based software can be accessed via any web browser by logging in using admin credentials, just like Nexudus!

Unlocking Doors Using the Passport App

Some access control integrations let your customers use the Passport app or its white-label version to unlock doors.
