Abloy UK announces integration of SMARTair with FLEXIPASS

SMARTair is a flexible and easy-to-install access control system that offers real-time security management. Using wireless technology, it eliminates the complexity and disruption of traditional cable installations.

This new integration combines the management capabilities of SMARTair with the app-free convenience of FLEXIPASS, allowing secure digital keys to be issued directly to users’ smart phones via SMS or e-mail. This approach enables instant and secure access without the need for registration or native app downloads, in turn simplifying the user experience, while also enhancing operational efficiency.

Key features

Key features of the FLEXIPASS-enabled SMARTair solution include:

*webkeys for instant access: no app download required

*customisable solution: embed door openings within the hotel guest PWA or communication platforms like WhatsApp

*open AP: seamless Webkey API connection with any PMS or Guest Communication technology provider

*automated access: access automatically granted from check-in to check-out

Users can now unlock SMARTair-secured doors simply by using their mobile door opening options. Access rights are managed remotely, giving administrators the ability to issue, update or revoke credentials in real-time through a centralised platform. This not only reduces the need for physical key handovers, but also streamlines front desk operations and minimises manual administration.

The SMARTair and FLEXIPASS solution is highly scalable and can be installed across a wide range of settings, including hotels, co-living spaces, educational facilities, commercial offices and residential developments. It supports a variety of access points – from doors and lockers to gates and cabinets – offering a versatile and future-proof option for organisations seeking to improve security, while delivering an enhanced user experience.

Significant step forward

Ifazaad Liaqat, technical sales manager for SMARTair at Abloy UK, explained: “Integrating SMARTair with FLEXIPASS marks a significant step forward in delivering intuitive and secure access solutions that meet the demands of today’s connected world. This collaboration allows businesses to offer a seamless and app-free mobile experience, while at the same time retaining full control and visibility over their access systems. It’s a game-changer for organisations looking to modernise their operations without compromising on security or convenience.”

Liaqat concluded: “With this launch, Abloy UK continues to lead in wireless access innovation, helping businesses to reduce infrastructure demands, increase security visibility and deliver smarter and more flexible access control.”
