The Smart Way to Manage Your Property: Tapkey’s Units Feature

Managing access in multi-tenant buildings has always been a complex task. So it’s no surprise that managing access to our homes and properties is getting a high-tech upgrade. Cue, smart access control is taking centre stage. With Tapkey’s innovative Unit feature, landlords and property managers can now streamline this process with ease. After all, who doesn’t enjoy convenient access to their apartments? Or let us rephrase: who enjoys a bulky keychain with 10 different mechanical keys for 10 different doors? Right, nobody does. Hence, Units is an essential tool for managing residential, commercial, or mixed-use properties.

Goodbye Mechanical Keys, Hello Digital Access

Gone are the days of fumbling for mechanical keys. With Tapkey Units digital access is quickly becoming the norm in modern multi-family homes. The feature allows landlords and property managers to share a common locking system with multiple tenants while maintaining strict privacy and security protocols. Imagine being able to manage all access rights through a sleek browser application. Whether it’s the front door, garage, basement, or communal areas, landlords can control it all from their office (or even while lounging on the couch). Flexibility and efficiency are the name of the game here.

Security and Convenience for Residents

For residents, their smartphone becomes their secure key. But if you’re into options, they can also use NFC tags as well. This digital shift means no more lost keys, no more cumbersome handovers, and definitely no more outdated key management hassles. Moving in or changing tenants? Easy peasy with the Units feature—all without physical key exchanges.

But that’s not all. Let’s talk about the security perks. Lost keys used to be a nightmare. Now, if a digital key medium goes missing, landlords and tenants alike, can revoke its access in a snap. And for those times when you need to let in service providers like cleaners or handymen, just send them a temporary digital key for a specific period. No need to be there in person – how convenient is that?

Real-World Scenario: Simplified Access Management

With Tapkey Units, managing access for different tenants becomes simpler and more efficient, reducing the administrative burden and enhancing tenant satisfaction. Designed for the smart buildings of tomorrow, simplifying property management and making life a breeze for residents.

Let’s consider a real-world scenario to illustrate the benefits of Tapkey Units. Imagine Paul, a landlord managing a multi-tenant building. With Tapkey Units, Paul can assign exclusive locks to each tenant, like Stefan, for their apartments. Stefan can manage access to his apartment and any shared areas, such as the building’s gym or laundry room. Paul can monitor and manage access to shared areas without viewing Stefan’s personal access logs, ensuring privacy.

If Stefan needs additional access licenses, he can request them from Paul, who maintains centralized control. Meanwhile, Stefan can activate as many NFC transponders as he needs for his exclusive and shared locks, enhancing his convenience and security.

Key Features of Tapkey Units

Exclusive and Shared Locks

Tapkey Units introduces two main types of locks: Exclusive Locks and Shared Locks. Exclusive Locks are specific to each tenant, allowing them to manage access to their individual apartments without interference. Shared Locks, on the other hand, are used for common areas such as laundry rooms or bike storage, accessible by all tenants in the building.

Enhanced Privacy and Security

Privacy is a top priority with Tapkey Units. Tenants’ interactions and permissions for exclusive and shared locks are private, ensuring that landlords cannot see or manage them. Landlords also cannot see the access logs related to tenants’ permissions, providing a secure and private living environment for all residents.

Efficient License Management

Tapkey Units simplifies license management by allowing landlords to assign a specific number of licenses to each tenant. Tenants can request additional licenses if needed, but all changes must go through the landlord, maintaining centralized control over access permissions.

Unlimited NFC Transponders

Next to the convenience of simply using the smartphone as a mobile key, tenants have the freedom to activate NFC transponders for their locks, offering more flexibility and convenience. This feature ensures that tenants can manage their own access devices without landlord intervention.

Versatility, Your Name is Units

As we now know, for landlords managing residential properties, Tapkey Units provides a seamless way to handle access for multiple tenants. Each tenant can have exclusive control over their apartment locks while sharing access to common areas, all within a secure and private system. But there is more!

In commercial buildings with multiple offices or floors, Tapkey Units can help manage access efficiently. Each office can maintain privacy with exclusive locks, while allowing shared access to common areas like meeting rooms or break spaces.

Units hits the sweet spot, because also mixed-use developments that combine residential, commercial, and retail spaces can benefit significantly from Tapkey Units. The feature ensures that different types of tenants have the appropriate access while maintaining strict privacy and security protocols.
