Take control of your estate life. NOTE: You can only make use of this application if you are a resident of Amberfield Ridge. This application operates in conjunction with Willcomβs secure access system. It provides the features to efficiently manage and supervise the access of persons to your estate/complex premises. Onboarded residents can use the application to trigger access gates with a convenient scanner. The resident is also furnished with the ability to invite visitors, regulars, and delivery companies to enter the estate premises. All entrance transactions are authenticated against strict access parameters and logged in a managed database. The estate manager has access to all logged information as well as the ability to onboard/edit or new residents. The solution makes no compromises to security β while at the same time addressing the pain points originating from long access queues and solving the management nightmare of administrating the disparate systems, which are all too prevalent in secure access systems today. The resident will receive notifications via the application when a visitor enters or exits the security gates. Communicating with the access system of your estate has never been this easy. Gone are the days where the guardhouse is required to call a resident before a visitor is permitted access.
