Codelocks, the global access control specialist, has announced the launch of its Codelocks Connect App, giving users an easier way to remotely manage their connected locks from a mobile device.
Now, business owners, building managers and any personnel responsible for managing access to a site can create access codes, and share them via email or SMS directly from the app. The new mobile functionality makes it even more convenient to manage building and locker access, without compromising on features or performance.
The Codelocks Connect App features Codelocks NetCode® Technology allowing users to generate time-sensitive codes, to create NetCodes that have a specified start date, time and duration after which they will automatically expire. With over an excess of 10,000 users of NetCode® locks, this form of scheduled temporary access is ideal for a range of applications, including sports facilities, event hire spaces, parcel delivery lockers and more.
“NetCode® is one of our most popular and versatile technologies, and we’re seeing people adopt it across an increasingly diverse range of applications – from music studios to wellness spas, builders’ merchants and aparthotels,” said Jo Milne-Rowe, Managing Director at Codelocks. “What’s exciting is that, as well as customers using codes to simplify access management, they’re using them to generate revenue, building new business models that rely on flexible, self-service access to shared commodities.
“By using NetCode®, our customers save significant time on administration and site visits – the new Codelocks Connect App helps them be even more productive. The result is more efficient operation for them and smoother, more professional experience for their customers.”
The new app builds on the success of the desktop-based Codelocks Connect Portal. It embodies the same features and functionality in a mobile-optimised format that can be used anywhere and on the go. This means responsible personnel can generate, communicate, activate and manage NetCodes wherever they are, rather than being limited to their office.
New locks can be added and registered from a mobile device, which is particularly useful for installers and facilities managers configuring new devices during an installation. Any locks that are already registered in the Connect Portal are easily imported into the app without duplication, and all changes – whether made in the app or in the portal – are automatically synchronised across both platforms. Multiple managers can also be assigned to a single lock or group of locks, which enables teams to share access responsibilities without relying on a single administrator.
The Codelocks Connect App works with the a range of NetCode®-equipped lock solutions, including several KitLock lines, such as the KitLockClassic and KitLockMax, and selected models from the CL5000 electronic lock range. It is compatible with both iOS and Android mobile devices, and is available to download now on the Apple App Store and Google Play.
