Salto, a global leader in electronic access solutions, is thrilled to partner with One Key Access (OKA), a company dedicated to creating frictionless 24/7 building access for couriers, ensuring successful last mile deliveries, and for service providers, guaranteeing access when it is needed.
Michael Cianfaglione, Salto’s Technology Partner and Integrations Lead APAC explains,
“We are excited about the technology partnership between OKA and Salto. It is one of our core tenants to see a world that is secure, but easily accessible. OKA, by utilising the flexibility afforded by Salto KS, is doing this for couriers and service providers, at scale, and in a way that positively benefits everyone – from the postal companies to the couriers, and to residents who are receiving packages.”
Salto KS is the leading cloud-based access control solution, enabling 24/7 real-time access control that is managed remotely, from a secure web and/or mobile application. The variety of hardware available ensures that no matter the location, it can be secured and managed.
OKA was created to enable service providers to gain access to buildings when they need to, in a way that is accountable, trackable and unique to the delivery or service window. It is a solution that works alongside existing access systems and can convert a room or cupboard into a delivery location. Couriers can even sign-in to partner parcel lockers within the building. OKA’s solution is holistic and can be moulded to fit within the building’s individual needs and budget.
Chanel Costabir, Co-Founder and CEO of One Key Access, explains,
“In a typical multi-residential delivery scenario, a courier could be waiting anywhere from 3 to 10 minutes to complete their delivery. In cases where the courier cannot gain access to make the delivery, then everyone loses. OKA, with Salto KS, solves this problem.”
OKA works directly with courier companies and buildings. An OKA-enabled building will have a QR code installed outside the lobby, which is authenticated by the OKA system. By scanning this, a courier can gain access, via Salto KS, within their predetermined delivery window. Access is granted and revoked depending on the delivery window, ensuring couriers only have access at the designated time.
Benefits of the OKA solution include:
- Ability to connect couriers to Salto KS enabled doors, rooms and cupboards within buildings for convenient deliveries.
- Seamless last-mile deliveries for couriers. The average waiting time of 3 to 10 minutes is eliminated, with couriers able to make deliveries immediately.
- Reduction of workload for building managers, who no longer need to spend valuable time opening doors and managing parcels
- Residents no longer need to travel to collect missed parcels, reducing emissions and the risk of fraud and theft associated with parcels left in public places
The Salto KS cloud-based smart access system ensures a mobile key or fob credential is updated in real-time, to suit the delivery needs of each day. The system is smooth, accountable and secure, and can be easily accessed by users from a mobile application on the go.
With the success of OKA for delivery services, OKA are expanding their offering to include other service providers, such as tradespeople, who don’t require a tenant to be available to perform their job.
The goal of the partnership is clear: “We aim to equip every building that receives deliveries with our innovative solution.” says Chanel Costabir, Founder and CEO of One Key Access.
