Easy. Secure. Sustainable.

Touchless Access

Users get touchless access to all spaces and places with your building – parking, doors, turnstiles, elevators and office suites. They simply wave their mobile device in front of keycard readers equipped with Bluetooth/NFC radios for instant, touchless entry.

This system offers users a quick, simple, and hygienic way into the building.

Unified Mobile Access

Mobile access control means that each user has all of the permissions they need on one device. The app is synchronized with all building entry points, even parking, for truly seamless access. Tenants can set permissions to meet their specific needs — for example, entry to sensitive areas of an office can be provided only to employees whose jobs require that access.

Cloud-Based Management

Easy for Users + Operation Teams

Your users will receive their one-tap credential in a matter of seconds — they won’t have to worry about emailing back and forth for days. There’s no pairing process, no need for a phone to be connected to Wi-Fi, and no additional card or device to carry.

Mobile keycards offer operational efficiency and eliminates the need to order, distribute, or keep track of fobs, badges, or plastic cards. You’ll also have a cloud-based building access control system, eliminating the need to maintain on-site servers.

Secure

Sustainable + Cost Effective

Moving to a mobile access system reduces waste while offering a better experience for users. No more plastic keycards to lose or forget—phones are rarely forgotten at home. And, by eliminating the need for a constant supply of new plastic cards and fobs, you’ll be making your building more environmentally efficient in an important and visible way.

Can I use my mobile keycard to access office suites in addition to buildings?

Yes! With our unified mobile credential, you can get rid of multiple plastic keycards and access both the building and office suite. You can also switch between buildings and access multiple buildings in the system with your mobile phone. This versatility and ease of use make the app the ideal commercial door access control system.

Can anyone download the app and use mobile keycard?

No. Our app is secure and only allows those with clearance and credentials to use the app. This means those who are visiting the building café or other public areas cannot also access the app and gain entry to areas they should not be.

How does the mobile keycard app improve building security?

Cohesion’s security program is built on well-established standards, such as the NIST Cybersecurity Framework and SOC 2, which is annually audited. Additionally, we subject our infrastructure to twice annual penetration and vulnerability tests by third parties. On top of all that, we deploy our infrastructure in Azure’s well-protected cloud.
The mobile keycard app is a powerful tool for your own security operations — it allows you to monitor building access in real time, maintain records of entry, and instantly address concerns through your control over each user’s permissions.
