Great Cloud-based Access Control System with Solid Integrations
Use Cases and Deployment Scope
Due to the integration with Nexudus, we chose this solution so that we did not have to provide building and coworking access manually to everyone visiting our space. We could not be happier with the Nexudus integration, allowing us just create the rules and focus on our core business. We are also a real estate owner/operator and have historically managed our building access in a traditional way with physical keys or a local access control system. Due to our positive experience through the coworking space, we decided to update two of our larger buildings with Brivo, and it has been great. We no longer have to run over to assist locked-out people; we can now open the doors remotely. It also helps us manage users easily as well as offer access via PIN, prox cards or fobs, and mobile passes. Initially, we rolled this out for building, elevator, and stair access, but now tenants are asking us to provide this for their spaces.
Pros

- Brivo has great integrations, especially with Nexudus, so that access can be provided automatically as customers and members require access.
