The Keycafe system is exactly the product we required, it has replaced the previous system used for Key collection and Drop offs, and Key Management. We have not seen another product, which will suit the requirements we need. Also replacing the Keycafe would be expensive and would require a lot of work

From the very beginning, the customer service has been nothing short of incredible. Our first meeting with [...] was thorough and informative—he took the time to understand our specific needs and ensure that the product would suit us perfectly. Once we received the device, [...] went above and beyond to help us set it up and make sure we were using the software as effectively as possible, tailoring his guidance to our business needs. The team has consistently exceeded our expectations, and it’s comforting to know that they’re always available should we need further assistance.

Sentry Solo Screenshots

Screenshot of Sentry Solo — VirtualKey and VirtualKeypad eliminate hardware and make access mobile. This software can be added to any door, gate, or amenity entrance.Screenshot of VirtualKey — Users can directly open any access point from their mobile device within the Gate Sentry app using the VirtualKey, eliminating the need for clicks, keys, and fobs.Screenshot of Adding Visitors — Sentry Solo also extends to visitor access. Users add their visitors' names and phone numbers within the app, categorizing them as permanent or temporary. The system automatically sends a text to the visitor, containing a unique 5-digit access code specific to that visitor. Permanent visitors always have access, while temporary visitors' codes expire as set by the user.Screenshot of VirtualKeypad — Upon scanning the QR code with their mobile device, visitors are presented with the VirtualKeypad, eliminating the need for any app downloads, and transitioning the process to a mobile format. Visitors simply enter their unique 5-digit code into the VirtualKeypad, which then grants them access.
