FAQ
What is an IOT integration?
For Cohesion, the term integration refers to creating real-time connections to the systems needed to operate, maintain and engage with a commercial building (access control, visitor management, elevators, parking, HVAC, etc.).
Best-in-class API level integrations allow for aggregation and normalization to offer portfolio-level analytics and the ability to compare operational efficiency between buildings.
The integration process entails creating real-time connections between the systems required to operate, maintain and engage a commercial building. A fully integrated system enables you to transfer data seamlessly without human-to-human or human-to-computer interaction.
What if the integration I need is not one of your partners?
Cohesion’s development team puts an enormous amount of effort into our Access Control framework to make all integration possible through our Rapid Integration Process, becoming officially certified partners in record time.
What is the nature of your integrations?
Are they deep or surface level?
We are always communicating directly with the integrated system via the interface that is provided by the integrator – API or direct to database. Cohesion’s integrations do not rely on writing a flat file for EDI communication with a system.
How does your integrations process work?
Our goal is to come into a building, work with your system providers, work with your hard-ware in the building, and make recommendations on trusted providers where you may have questions. Once we go through that process we will then be able to integrate all those things into our platform, so your transition to a smart building has very low capital intensity and is about adding that functionality for your team. We work directly with providers, our team does the integrations, we control the timeline, we control the User Experience, which means you get the best possible outcomes through those integrations.
Are your integrations certified?
Certification brings us lot of credibility and proves our ability to provide a simple and easy way to enable touchless access controls, mobile credentials, in-app elevator call button, and other smart building controls. We get listed as a Certified Partner on the 3rd party system’s website’s partners page.
