StorSynx is the mobile companion for Storlogix, combining facility operations and ProEdge hardware commissioning in one app. Sign in with your Storlogix operator credentials, choose your site, and select the Store Manager or Dealer experience, then switch experiences or sites anytime from the slide-out menu. Store Managers get a Site Overview showing controller, gateway, access point, and users' on-site status, plus the five most recent events and pull-to-refresh. Accessways lets you search and manually control relays, doors, and gates, including open and hold open actions within allowed modes. Operator search finds units, users, and devices with filter chips and detailed records, where you can review activity and rent, suspend, or vacate units or suspend users. The Event Log lets you search, sort, and filter activity by type, view event details, spot alarm and cleared events, and jump to related records. Push notifications alert you to Access Granted, Access Denied, Unit Alarms, and Gate/Door Forced events, along with online and offline status for controllers, gateways, door locks, and repeaters, with per-site preferences, unit-specific alerts, and tap-through to the relevant screen. Dealers and installers can view a site overview, add and manage units, and commission ProEdge locks to a gateway by Bluetooth. A replayable in-app tutorial covers both experiences, and your Profile holds account and notification settings, plus built-in product manuals. Secure sign-in with automatic session refresh keeps you working without interruption.
