ACCESS CONTROL
Enabling innovation across many industries
A potential stumbling block for many business ideas is how to allow only legitimate customers to access a product or service and not others . The answer is via a keyless , time-sensitive access control solution that can be set remotely and doesn ’ t require an internet connection or WiFi to operate .
Over the ten years it has been on the market , NetCode ® has been part of a wide range of innovative implementations . It has been adopted by several companies as the perfect time-sensitive access control solution to integrate within their broader solution . Some of the areas where Codelocks NetCode ® Technology is enabling new ideas include :
Storage solutions
Codelocks NetCode ® Technology is used bySTOREiT LOCKERS to generate and transmit a six-digit NetCode ® that gives the customer a specific start date , time and duration to access the lockers . STOREiT also uses the optional Codelocks Connect booking platform . The lockers can be set up anywhere – even remote locations like beaches or campsites . That ’ s why Mobile Locker uses it on locker arrays where festival goers can charge their phones and store belongings .
Sports and games
Parks Tennis uses Codelocks NetCode ® Technology to send a code to access the company ’ s public tennis courts as part of the simple ‘ pay as you play ’ booking system . In Portugal and Belgium , TieSports gives its members the facility to book and pay for a court using their smartphone . Using the Codelocks API , their booking program automatically links to the court ’ s lights , so members can turn up for their game knowing that the court will be lit and ready for play . Users don ’ t see Codelocks ’ hand in it . All they see is a much more convenient , simplified way to get a game in .
Hospitality
Tigh Na Bruaich is an Australian Ski Lodge that has integrated Codelocks API into its booking system to fully automate room management at its site . When guests make bookings , its system communicates with the API which generates a NetCode ® and sends it to them a week before their stay and again on the day before they arrive . Like the tennis courts , Tigh Na Bruaich programmers created an integrated solution that used
Codelocks API and its booking system to automatically save power and adjust its lighting .
Dining and online shopping
Yummy Box ® is perfect for people who enjoy their takeout meals at the right temperature . The diner places their takeout order with the restaurant who delivers it to the thermally insulated food locker . Codelocks NetCode ® Technology sits in the background and provides the verification code that allows the customer to access their locker and order . The same happens at the architectural ironmonger SDS London . Customers who make an online click-and-collect order receive an access code for their locker sent via SMS or attached to their purchase confirmation email .
An eye on the next ten years
The access control sector never sleeps . Innovation and evolution are watchwords for the industry . By listening to customers and exploring ideas together , Codelocks is dedicated to taking its keyless , digital access control solutions even further .
