Increase app value with a new premium mobile access feature
Expand your platform’s features to physical access with a premium mobile credential that has pre-built PACS integrations.
Store readerless mobile credentials in your platform and synchronize unlocks with existing features
Increase platform usage and retention by adding value with a readerless mobile credential feature that works across multiple different access control systems and synchronizes with existing features in your platform. The SDK is free and open source and has pre-built integrations with 20+ access control systems.
Platform feature enhancement
Add a feature customers need for physical access, and increase app usage and retention along with it. Synchronize mobile credential unlocks with existing platform features, like facility bookings, check-in, or data analytics, to deepen your existing feature set. Every access event is a timestamped, identity-linked data point your platform can use. An essential premium feature to layer on top of data you’re already collecting. Instant digital issuance and revocation means you can tie access directly to onboarding and offboarding events in real time.
Collect additional recurring revenue
Unlock additional recurring revenue by charging a premium fee for the readerless mobile credential door unlocking feature, no new billing infrastructure to build. Per-credential, per-user pricing slots directly into the tiered SaaS pricing you already run, there’s no need to set up a separate commercial model. Offer it as part of a premium tier, or as an add-on. It bills the same way your platform already bills everything else, on the same cycle your customers already expect.
Skip building separate PACS integrations
Sentry’s readerless mobile credentials are already compatible with 20+ major access control systems so you avoid building and maintaining a separate integration for every access control system your customers have installed on site. In addition this means the feature can scale and work cleanly across a customer’s multi-site portfolio, since the credentials are built on open interoperability with multiple access control systems rather than a single vendor’s hardware.

How to get started
Integrate
Integrate the open-source SDK into your platform, in the language your stack already uses.
Enroll and issue
Your customers can enroll their users with mobile credentials directly via your platform, and issue or revoke access automatically by synchronizing access permissions with other platform features like facility booking, check-in, and more.
Bundle and scale
Bundle your new mobile access feature into your existing SaaS pricing tiers, and scale across every site your customers run. Working across 20+ PACS without building or maintaining a single additional integration.
Provide mobile credentials built different
Instant, remote revocation
Mobile credential access permissions can be granted or revoked automatically in real time, in line with the onboarding and offboarding events your platform already tracks.
One integration, access to multiple PACS
Through a single open integration you unlock mobile credentials stored within your platform that already work with 20+ major access control systems, including Paxton, Brivo, ZKTeco, C·CURE, Lenel, and Gallagher. Developer time is not necessary to build out separate integrations with each brand, fast tracking your clients transition to mobile door access.
Bypass reader hardware barriers
The user’s smartphone via your platform stores the credential and acts as the active reader. All that’s required at the door is a passive, wireless Sentry Smart Access Tile. No pulling cable, batteries, or charging is required.
Centralized, auditable access logs
Every unlock event; user, time, location is logged and available via the SDK, ready to feed into your own analytics or dashboards rather than living in a separate system.
Asymmetric cryptography, not shared secrets
Readerless mobile credentials use a public/private key pair. The public key verifies identity, the private key stays in the secure enclave of the user’s device. Every credential exchange is a fresh challenge-response handshake.
NIST-aligned and Zero Trust
Built to align with NIST cybersecurity standards and Zero Trust Architecture, no implicit trust based on location, network, or prior authentication. This means our credentials are never trusted just because it was accepted last time, or because it’s on a known network.
