SmartOffice Simplifies Your Workplace
Easy Onboarding
Once administrators enable users, employees receive an invitation email on their mobile devices with simple instructions to download the app and automatically log in.
Cloud-based Software
Centralized door access control provides scalable management for all your office locations.
Mobile Access Convenience
Employees gain access to controlled doors using the SmartOffice Access app installed on the iOS or Android devices they already use, creating a safer environment for employees. Plus, administrators can manage door access remotely, over cellular or WiFi connectivity, ensuring security from anywhere.
Better Workplace Security
Mobile access leverages device biometric security, like FaceID or TouchID, as well as Cloud-based authentication, to ensure only authorized users gain access to door entry.
Flexible Access
Use the SmartOffice Access app for door entry, or your existing key card or fob with your door readers, or use a mixture of both.
Integrated or Standalone
SmartOffice Access leverages IoT technology to deliver a fully wireless Access Control as a Service (ACaaS) or seamless operation with your already installed access control system, or both at the same time.
Remote Management
Add users, adjust permissions, or disable access, from anywhere.
The SmartOffice Difference
Less Hardware and No Extra
Wiring Required
SmartOffice can create a completely wireless ACaaS solution for new businesses just starting out, in a low-cost, simple, and inexpensive to install configuration. It is also flexible enough to be deployed in businesses with existing traditional door access systems, making use of already-installed locks, without adding any extra wiring and associated costs.
Affordable and Easy to Use
The use of IoT technology eliminates wiring and hardware costs, and using a Cloud-based infrastructure, users gain door entry using a mobile app, either over WiFi or cellular connectivity.
User Directory Integration
Integration within your business’ user directory allows SmartOffice to intuitively configure user permissions and enable automatic provisioning via emails to users’ mobile devices.
The SmartOffice Environment
The Mobile App
The Mobile App
The SmartOffice Mobile app for iOS and Android puts the convenience and security of access control at your fingertips
- Lock and unlock doors when you are in the office, outside coming to the office, or wherever you are.
- Live door access monitoring lets you know if you’ve locked your officer or building door(s) and control remotely too.
- Setup employees with automatic provisioning with directory integration. The employee gets an invitation email to download the app with permissions already setup and configured.
Lock and Unlock Doors
- Unlock building or office doors with the click of a button. Employees each have their own permissions pre-configured so that only doors they are allowed to access are visible in the app.
- The Lockall feature is handy when the last person leaves the office to secure the premises.
- Arm/disarming building zones eliminates the need to remember alarm code.
Administration Made Simple
- Setting up SmartOffice hardware devices and user control is done right from the app!
- Identify the geography location of your office
- Detect and connect the Sangoma Gateway which controls and receives notifications from all hardware devices and doors
- Detect and connect sensors and then create groups, zones and scenes to customize the app’s look and feel
Streamlined Onboarding
- Employees and admins receive an autoconfiguration email from the company’s phone system
- The app is downloaded from the user’s Apple store or Google playstore
- The user is then automatically logged into their SmartOffice app with their secure credentials pre-configured.
Monitoring and Notifications
- SmartOffice administrator and other select users can receive In App notifications when any device has triggered an action or event within a configured zone.
- Receiving notifications for:
- locked/unlocked doors
- motion sensor movement after-hours
- unreachable devices
- Notifications for monitoring can be set to very granular to general so that you are notified for exactly the triggers you want.
SmartOffice Features
Cardless Access Control
Employees gain entry via a mobile app for iOS and Android smartphones using existing wireless networks for maximum flexibility.
Autoprovisioning of users
SmartOffice is integrated with the business’ phone system user directory enabling secure identification and auto-provisioning for all users.
Improves Office Security
Using an encrypted Cloud service to authenticate every device and access attempt, SmartOffice also leverages the built-in security mechanisms of modern smartphones, like fingerprint and facial recognition.
Notification
Administrators of SmartOffice can be notified of who, when, and what has triggered an event, such as someone accessing the premises or motion sensor movement.
Remote Management
Access control administrators can control, monitor, and adjust SmartOffice configuration, directly from the mobile app, even when outside the network.
Works with Existing Access Control Systems
SmartOffice is compatible with existing key card access control systems, providing the flexibility of using both systems at the same time. *Check with your municipal building bylaws for compliance.
Have Existing Maglocks and Door Strikes?
SmartOffice is fully compatible with maglocks and doorstrikes, meaning businesses with existing access control systems can easily use SmartOffice to modernize their access control system.
By leveraging your existing electrical wiring infrastructure, SmartOffice seamlessly connects all your door wiring using a small hardware module to transmit wired door access signals wirelessly to the SmartOffice system.
Enjoy huge cost savings with no fuss, no drilling, and no extra wiring!
