Cloud-based Management Opens the Door for Frictionless Access

With multiple offices across the US, SKIDATA’s existing on-premise security systems were lagging behind the technology they needed to operate an efficient, tech-forward vehicle access company. Not only did each office require its own servers and management, but employees also needed different credentials for each location.

Plus, with contactless technology becoming a bigger trend in their industry, they wanted a system that could support contactless functionality.

Tired of managing two separate systems for building and parking at every location, the SKIDATA team decided to make the switch to a cloud-based access control solution to centralize their network and use management, with one credential that could work anywhere.

SKIDATA GmbH

SKIDATA GmbH is an Austrian company that has installed more than 10,000 access systems for people and vehicles in ski resorts, shopping centers, major airports, cities, sports stadiums, fairs, and amusement parks.

Switching to Openpath’s cloud-based access control was a no-brainer once the SKIDATA team saw the user interface. From the ease of implementation and rolling out new hardware, to configuring user access, to schedule for role-based permissions, Openpath’s intuitive software has made managing multiple locations easier and more secure.

The hands-free, touchless entry with Openpath’s Wave to Unlock works for both the front door and the parking control system at every SKIDATA office.

SKIDATA utilized Openpath’s open API platform to integrate their own parking access software for complete access with a single mobile credential. The result is better security and more control, without putting added strain on IT or administrative teams.
