Gatewise Multifamily Access - Gate access via app

Gatewise provides a solution for residents in multifamily housing to access the Main Gate using an application. 

Rather than relying on Clickers, KeyFobs, or Smart Cards, users can simply press a button on the app to gain entry through the gate.

Core Products and Functional Modules：

1. For Residents: Mobile Application (Gatewise Mobile App)

Designed around a "convenient, seamless access control experience," it addresses the pain points of traditional access control systems, such as easy loss, difficult sharing, and battery failure:

- **Multiple Unlocking Methods**: Supports "One-Click Unlock," "Apple/Google Wallet Offline Unlock" (available even when the phone is dead), and "Voice Command Unlock" (Siri/Google Assistant, convenient for two-handed use or in rainy weather);

- **Visitor Management**: Eliminates the need to share fixed passwords and allows users to send "temporary digital keys" with customizable access times (e.g., 2:00 PM to 4:00 PM on the same day). Visitor access history is available in real time, and access permissions can be revoked at any time;

- **Visitor Calling and Authorization**: Visitors can scan a QR code to directly call residents' mobile phones. Residents can view visitor information, communicate, and remotely authorize door opening, regardless of physical location, replacing the fragile traditional intercom system;

- **Self-Service Property Viewing**: Prospective tenants can obtain "limited access rights" to access model units during off-hours, allowing for flexible viewing times.

2. For Managers: Cloud-Based Management Portal

Focusing on "efficient management, data transparency, and automated operations," it reduces management costs and security risks:

- **Real-Time Monitoring and Data-Based Management**: View access control records for all properties in real time, automatically detect abnormal "privilege sharing" behavior, generate detailed operational reports (such as visitor frequency and facility usage), and present data visualizations;

- **Automated Check-in/Check-out Management**: Deeply integrated with mainstream property management systems such as Yardi, RealPage, Entrata, and ResMan, access control permissions are automatically activated upon check-in and automatically deactivated upon check-out, eliminating the need for manual updates and preventing the security risk of "doors remaining accessible after check-out";

- **Centralized Multi-Property Management**: Regional managers can manage multiple properties from a single account, standardizing operational rules (such as permission settings and visitor processes), comparing operational data across properties, and optimizing management strategies;

- **Refined Permission Settings**: Role-based permissions are assigned (e.g., leasing consultants receive only daytime facility access, maintenance personnel receive 24-hour access, and contractors receive temporary access). All operations are traceable to meet compliance requirements.

3. Special Additional Features

- **Virtual Call Box**: Free for all customers, this replaces traditional physical call boxes, allowing visitors to remotely call residents and improving community entrance management efficiency.

- **Self-Storage Access Control**: For self-storage scenarios, users can unlock their storage units using their mobile phone without a key or password, meeting the flexible access needs of storage users.

- **Quick Deployment and Migration**: The device uses a cellular network to receive signals, eliminating the need to run separate network cables for each access point. Installation can be completed in a few hours for small properties and within 1-2 days for large properties. Step-by-step migration guidance is provided to minimize access control downtime.

Core Application Scenarios：

- Multi-family Communities: Covering apartments, villas, and other residential communities, this solution balances access control convenience for residents with property management security.

- Self-Storage: Meets the need for "storage and access" for users, replacing traditional keys and passwords to improve access efficiency and security.

- Commercial Facilities: Manages access control for community facilities such as gyms, swimming pools, and clubhouses, enabling precise access control based on user permissions.

FAQs：

1. **Q**: What problems does Gatewise primarily solve? What are its advantages compared to traditional access control systems (remote controls, key cards)?

**A**: It primarily addresses the pain points of traditional access control systems, such as easy loss, difficulty in sharing, and frequent battery depletion. It provides a mobile access control solution for multi-family residential buildings. Its advantages include one-click door opening via mobile phone, offline unlocking (works even when the phone is out of battery), voice command opening, and convenient visitor permission management, eliminating the need for physical access control tools.

2. **Q**: How do residents authorize visitors to enter? Can the duration of access be controlled?

**A**: No need to share a fixed password. A **temporary digital key** is generated directly in the mobile app, with a customizable validity period (e.g., 2 PM to 4 PM on the same day). Visitor access records can be viewed in real time, and permissions can be revoked at any time, offering both security and flexibility.

3. **Q**: What if a visitor cannot contact the resident at the community gate?

**A:** Visitors can scan a QR code at the door to directly call residents' mobile phones; residents can view visitor information and remotely authorize door opening from anywhere, replacing the easily damaged traditional building intercom system.

4. **Q:** What management functions can property management/managers achieve with Gatewise?

**A:** Managers can view all access control records in real time through a cloud management portal and automatically detect abnormal permission sharing behavior; it can interface with mainstream property management systems such as Yardi and RealPage, automatically granting permissions when residents move in and automatically deactivating them when they move out; it also allows for role-based permission allocation (e.g., daytime permissions for leasing consultants, 24-hour permissions for maintenance personnel), and all operations are traceable.
