MakeOffices Selects Kastle Systems as National Integrated Access Control Partner
Kastle's Flexible Platform Supports MakeOffices' Diverse Coworking Needs and Business Growth
FALLS CHURCH, Va., May 1, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Kastle Systems International, the industry leader in innovative managed security solutions and services, and MakeOffices, a national provider of turnkey, flexible coworking spaces, today announced that they have partnered to leverage Kastle's state of the art access control across MakeOffices's existing portfolio of 7 locations in Chicago, Philadelphia and Washington, D.C. – and for future locations.
As a national provider of state-of-the-art coworking spaces, MakeOffices was looking for a way to standardize access and security across their portfolio. They sought a consistent, scalable solution that could facilitate easier training, and centralize onboarding and offboarding of staff and tenants.
"MakeOffices has created a coworking environment with the perfect combination of flexibility, location, price, and amenities. We leverage the latest in security and advanced technologies to create work spaces that are inviting and differentiated. Kastle's cloud-based access control platform is the ideal solution because it scales as we grow and provides an easy way for our staff to manage access across multiple locations," said Reid Fetters, Chief Real Estate Development Officer, MakeOffices.
Based on four decades of success securing commercial office buildings and tenants, Kastle Systems has developed an access control platform with remarkable configurability across identities, credential types, and readers—ideal for meeting the needs of this emerging coworking market where users expect a fluid workday experience. Coworking spaces are innovative environments that change the dynamics of traditional access control requirements in order to accommodate higher temporary staff and visitor traffic, greater use of shared amenity spaces, and increased demand for mobile, digital credentials that enable access to multiple locations.
Building on a legacy of technology innovation, Kastle's access control approach enables staff in coworking environments to control and administer access through a single platform and seamless user interface. This simplifies training, increases operational efficiency, and reduces the number of systems that staff must manage. The platform also features open standard application programming interfaces (API's) so it can easily integrate with future MakeOffices' facilities or other 3rd party software applications such as coworking management, reservation planning, and identity directories.
"Kastle is committed to improving the tenant and staff experience in coworking settings, with an intuitive security management platform at the core of our innovations," said Kastle's Director of Customer Engagement, Andrew Kovacs. "Our platform delivers the first entirely integrated access solution designed to make coworking spaces safer, smarter, and more convenient for tenants and staff - in effect, enabling the Workplace of the Future."
