Mobile-First Approach to Access Control
Brach Bengtzen, Director of MarketingProdataKey (PDK) is a leading innovator of networked cloud-based access control products and services. The company’s mobile-first pdk.io cloud platform allows for complete system management and access control through any web-connected device, anywhere, anytime. PDK offers an unparalleled user experience and the highest levels of security, safety, and privacy for tens of thousands of customers throughout North America and beyond.
With PDK, you get a mobile-first experience at every level. Mobile phones can configure the hardware without needing an on-site computer. Once a network connection is made with the hardware, the cell phone can be used to discover and assign permissions to controllers. Access can also be managed by using a smartphone.
PDK’s mobile-first and cloud-based approach offers a number of advantages to businesses that want to manage access control in a modern and efficient way. The company’s solution is more flexible and cost-effective, given that it does not require an on-site server or computer. This is especially beneficial for businesses that need to manage access control across multiple locations. Updates are also pushed over the cloud. It means that PDK’s solution is less likely to become obsolete, as updates can be easily applied without the need to replace any hardware.
Another useful feature is pdk.io’s built-in notification system. With the ability to create custom notifications, dealers will be able to receive alerts when certain events occur and take the right action before they impact the end users. This helps improve the overall reliability and performance of the system and enhance the reputation of a dealer by enabling them to be proactive in addressing any issues that arise.
PDK provides a bespoke solution for clients globally in collaboration with other manufacturers. Clients often expect their access control system, video intercoms, wireless locks, and HR solutions to work in liaison. PDK’s solution integrates with other third-party systems to create an eco-system for addressing diverse client requirements.
PDK’s capabilities were best highlighted in an instance where the company was approached by a school that needed to revamp its security. The company was able to provide a comprehensive security solution to the school, including features such as door monitoring and automatic lockdowns in the event of an emergency. The integration with the school’s gunshot detection system was particularly noteworthy, as it ensured the safety of students and staff in the event of an active shooter situation. Most importantly, the ability to manage the system remotely using a cell phone allowed the client’s IT director to keep track of what was happening on campus and take necessary actions if needed. PDK perceives clients as partners and will go to any extent to support them and help them achieve success.
We enable people to manage the commercial environment as efficiently as their smart homes
“Our mission is to empower our partners with intuitive and secure solutions. Partner fanaticism is at the core of our values. Everything we do is centered around our partners. When they succeed, we succeed, ” says Bengtzen.
With a focus on a mobile-first approach, PDK is redefining the concept of access control. Its easy-to-use solution is going to take the industry by storm in the coming years—a key step toward fulfilling the dream of safer workplaces and schools.
