‘Mechanical keys were something we wanted to avoid’ tells founder Balster van Duijn. With 35 creative professionals and a weekly program filled with social events, private dining, workshops, screenings and exhibitions it would’ve been very inefficient and time consuming to work with mechanical keys. We needed a system that allowed remote access, access groups and a helpful integration. This is what we found in Salto KS.
The Wheelhouse was in need of a wireless electronic access control system that allowed setting up access groups and specific timeframes. Salto KS was exactly what they needed. Salto KS allows the Wheelhouse to:
-
Provide access on the go: Unexpected guests can be let in by the members of the space by granting access from wherever and whenever.
- Integrate with Office R&D: The user-friendly interface makes it possible for coworking space members to manage their bookings without assistance from space administrators.
-
Create access groups: Easily set up a group of members that are allowed to enter a certain space on a specific date and time, perhaps only on weekdays or between 8am-6pm, up to you.
- View events: See exactly which member has come into which space at what time and keep track of valuable member data. This allowed Wheelhouse to determine which rooms need cleaning, which meeting rooms seem to be preferred and when the space is busiest or calmest during any day.
- Integration with OfficeR&D, the coworking space management platform used by the Wheelhouse. With the integration members of the Wheelhouse are able to book rooms and get access via the same app. The staff can easily onboard members without duplication of work for both tools.
- Providing access on the go (opening doors remotely from anywhere, anytime)
- Only use one tag for multiple spaces / locations, no need for multiple keys
- Time saving / efficiency, focusing more on member experience and less on managing keys, entries and lock replacements
- Revoke or grant access to a certain space in a specific timeframe for different types of members and even cleaners or delivery services
