Not only do gyms need to worry about many different types of people entering the space, but owners also need to monitor occupancy to promote safe social distancing, even when they’re not at the gym. Gyms use mobile access control as a tool to operate their gyms remotely, efficiently utilize the space 24 hours a day, and ensure people can come and go when they want, as safely as possible.

We are excited to be ranked overall as a Commander in Group 337’s Access Control Index, a yearly quantitative and qualitative report ranking the top 40 physical access control software manufacturers. Commanders are leading the $8B access control software industry with a perfect blend of today and tomorrow.

Nexkey, a leading innovator in mobile access control solutions, venture-backed by Upfront Ventures, K9 Ventures, and MarkIV Capital, today announces the Nexkey Dashboard which allows businesses to safely track and manage occupancy and space utilization as they reopen.

From Office 365 to Netflix, subscriptions seem to be all around us. They have a simple and salient logic: bite-size payments for endless services or new features and support. Cloud-Based Access Control has been steadily shifting to subscription models too.

When the Coronavirus pandemic first hit, we all thought we’d get a nice two to three weeks working from home which quickly turned into a few months then several months, and now maybe years. It made us think, is this the new normal?

We take pride in our Nexkey app doing more than what your typical mobile access control app can do, which is just unlocking the door.

We decided to take the extra features our customers love to use in the app and put them together in one place where we will continue to add more of the next great features of Nexkey.

Introducing our new More screen.

Nexkey, a leading innovator in the cloud and mobile-based access control industry, trusted by over 20,000 users, today announced the launch of Nexkey Solo, the world’s first wireless, battery-powered door strike.

Nexkey Solo is an all-in-one device that installs in minutes, right into the doorframe, and connects to Nexkey’s cloud service through a user's mobile device. Invisible to the end user, unlocking the door and managing access is done solely through the user’s smartphone or Apple Watch, making Nexkey Solo a completely touchless solution.

It’s been 3 months since I’ve joined Nexkey as the VP of Products, and it’s been quite the whirlwind as I get up to speed with smart locks and access control at Nexkey. That journey took an unexpected turn over the last couple of weeks with COVID-19, and it’s ripple effects.

Every morning, employees would bang on the door, begging to be let in by a manager. Museum of Ice Cream realized they use an app for every aspect of their business, why not for their doors too?

While searching through different access control systems, they needed a platform that allowed them flexibility over keys, won’t break the bank, and is at the forefront of innovation. Museum of Ice Cream found Nexkey, and immediately said it became a “no-brainer”.
