Abloy UK has announced the integration of its SMARTair® wireless access control system with the FLEXIPASS platform, introducing a powerful new solution for mobile-enabled, contactless access across hospitality and commercial sectors.
SMARTair is a flexible and easy-to-install access control system that offers real-time security management without the need for hard wiring. Using wireless technology, it eliminates the complexity and disruption of traditional cable installations.
This new integration combines the management capabilities of SMARTair with the app-free convenience of FLEXIPASS, allowing secure digital keys to be issued directly to users’ smartphones via SMS or email. This innovative approach enables instant, secure access without the need for registration or native app downloads, simplifying the user experience while enhancing operational efficiency.
Key features of the FLEXIPASS-enabled SMARTair solution include:
· Webkeys for instant access – no app download required
· Customizable solution – Embed door openings within the hotel guest PWA or communication platforms like WhatsApp
· Open API – seamless Webkey API connection with any PMS or Guest Communication technology provider
· Automated access – access automatically granted from check-in to check-out
Users can now unlock SMARTair-secured doors by using their mobile door-opening options. Access rights are managed remotely, giving administrators the ability to issue, update or revoke credentials in real time through a centralised platform. This not only reduces the need for physical key handovers but also streamlines front-desk operations and minimises manual administration.
The SMARTair and FLEXIPASS solution is scalable and can be installed across a wide range of settings, including hotels, co-living spaces, education facilities, commercial offices and residential developments. It supports a variety of access points – from doors and lockers to gates and cabinets – offering a versatile, future-proof option for organisations seeking to improve security while delivering an enhanced user experience.
Ifazaad Liaqat, technical sales manager (DAS), SMARTair at Abloy UK, explains: “Integrating SMARTair with FLEXIPASS marks a significant step forward in delivering intuitive, secure access solutions that meet the demands of today’s connected world.
“This collaboration allows businesses to offer a seamless, app-free mobile experience while retaining full control and visibility over their access systems. It’s a game-changer for organisations looking to modernise their operations without compromising on security or convenience.
“With this launch, Abloy UK continues to lead in wireless access innovation, helping businesses reduce infrastructure demands, increase security visibility and deliver smarter, more flexible access control.”
