Why stick with outdated standards when the future is knocking? The world is going digital, and your security systems shouldn’t lag behind! Digital keys are a game-changer, especially when they integrate seamlessly into your existing systems. But how exactly do businesses benefit from the integration of digital access systems? In this article, we dive into success stories and references to show why investing in digital keys is a smart move for companies.

Empower Business Models

For some companies, mobile access isn’t just a nice-to-have—it’s the core of their business model. Take PT Pods, for example. They offer private fitness pods accessible only through a smartphone-based system, allowing clients to use the studios flexibly and contactlessly.

“Mobile access is the heart of our business; without it, our model wouldn’t work,” says Mike Mair, founder of PT Pods.

Another example is flinkey, an innovative player in automotive sharing solutions. They use cutting-edge mobile access tech to enable flexible, contactless vehicle rentals through their custom flinkey box, which integrates directly into the vehicle. Users book and unlock cars via a smartphone app, no physical keys required. Learn more about this here.

Cut Costs

Digital keys save significantly by eliminating the need for physical key handling. No more key exchanges, lost keys, or lockouts. For instance, the temp agency Ruigrok used to spend about €30,000 a year on lost keys because workers often didn’t return them. With Tapkey’s integration, they now manage keys for apartments and communal areas without any physical handovers.

Tapkey’s API integration streamlines digital key management, offering cost-effective solutions.

“The integration was smooth, with most info in the documentation. We only had minor questions,” says Nick Tol from Ruigrok.

Boost Security

Digital keys not only offer a practical solution for access management but also provide significant security benefits. Advanced encryption protocols and secure data transmission ensure high protection against unauthorized access and misuse. A prime example of this is OfficeManager, which uses Tapkey technology to manage offices and other spaces with top-notch security. Centralized digital key management allows precise control and adjustment of permissions, ensuring that only authorized individuals gain access while preventing unauthorized entry.

Simplified Management

Managing access rights becomes a breeze with digital keys. Bookzo, a booking system for hotels, vacation rentals, and campgrounds, shows how easy it can be. Guests get keyless access through their smartphones, and access for multiple doors is updated automatically.

. “The integration, including testing and release, was completed within a few weeks,” says Jon van Dorsten, highlighting how quickly and smoothly the switch to digital access can be.

Increase Flexibility

EasySecure is another great example of flexibility in managing access rights. Their solution offers several options: their own cloud platform, integration into customer apps, or use of the Tapkey app. Users can choose what fits their needs best. Access can be granted and managed with just a button push—simple and flexible.

“Tapkey’s innovative technology helps EasySecure provide a flexible solution for partners and end-users. It’s the integration that makes users feel the software is tailor-made for them,” says Werner Roest in an interview.

Enhance User Experience

Digital keys not only make management easier but also improve the experience for both employees and guests. Whether it’s coworking spaces, offices, residential buildings, or apartment rentals—good customer experience is key. Suite 30, a luxury apartment provider in Berlin, uses digital keys to streamline check-ins and boost guest satisfaction. Storeganise, a self-storage provider, benefits from mobile access control, making storage unit access easy and secure. Find out more about this success story here.
