The way we work has fundamentally changed. Today's professionals demand flexibility, convenience, and technology that just works. For co-working operators, this means that outdated keys and cumbersome keycards are no longer sufficient. They create operational bottlenecks for your team and a disjointed experience for your members.
A truly smart access system solves these problems, transforming how members interact with your space from the moment they arrive.
1. A Single, Simple Journey for Every Member
Imagine a new member's first day. With an integrated access system, their journey is effortless.
- Instant Onboarding: The moment they sign up online, their access credentials can be automatically provisioned and sent to their smartphone. No waiting for a keycard to be programmed.
- One Mobile Key for Everything: A single credential on their phone can grant access to the main entrance, their designated floor or office, and any bookable resources like meeting rooms, phone booths, or even personal lockers.
- Seamless Visitor Management: Members can easily grant temporary access to their guests directly from their app, creating a professional and welcoming experience without involving the community manager.
2. Streamlining Operations for Community Managers
The operational benefits of a centralised access platform are transformative for your team.
- Eliminate Keycard Chaos: Say goodbye to the costs and headaches of issuing, tracking, and replacing lost or unreturned keycards.
- Automate Member Lifecycles: When a membership ends, access is revoked automatically and instantly, enhancing security and reducing administrative workload.
- Manage Your Space Remotely: Grant access to maintenance staff, cleaners, or event organisers outside of standard business hours, all from a web-based dashboard, without needing to be on-site.
3. Unlock New Revenue with On-Demand Space
A flexible access system integrated with your booking software allows you to monetise your space more effectively.
- Automated Meeting Room Bookings: When a member books a room through your platform, the API can automatically grant them access for the specific time slot, and then revoke it.
- Create Tiered Memberships: Easily manage different access levels. Offer a premium 24/7 access tier, or a basic business-hours-only plan, all controlled through the same system.
- Pay-Per-Use Resources: Sell access to podcast studios, event spaces, or specialised equipment on an hourly or daily basis, creating new and valuable revenue streams.
4. The API: Integrating Access into Your Member Platform
The true power lies in integration. Portal is designed to be the best-in-class access ingredient for your existing technology stack. By using our API and SDK, you can embed keyless entry directly into your current member management app. This means your members have a single, branded touchpoint for booking, billing, community networking, and accessing the physical space—creating the ultimate frictionless experience.
