The right person. The right door. The right time.
That sentence was our definition of a smart lock in 2018, when we recorded every change of access on a ledger. The question has not changed. The tools have.
Today the group answers it with connected locks and lockers, a cloud platform that runs thousands of doors for hotels, offices and residences, and an operating layer that lets software, and now AI, grant access safely.
