Integrating access control with Property Management Software (PMS) is achieved through specialized platforms that offer flexible connectivity options. Depending on the system you choose, integration typically occurs in the following ways:

• Native Integration: Platforms like Salto Smart Access offer native integration capabilities, making them a preferred choice for hotels and mixed-use strata properties that require direct communication between access hardware and management software.
• API-Based Integration: Modern cloud-native solutions, including Brivo, Kisi, and Avigilon, utilize open APIs to connect with property management tools. Brivo, in particular, is noted for its API-driven approach, which allows for custom workflows between the security system and property management data.
• Unified Dashboards: Systems such as Genetec Security Center and OpenPath centralize door management, credentials, and schedules into a single web-based interface. This allows property managers to handle permissions and multi-site administration remotely, reducing administrative overhead.

By leveraging these integrations, property managers can automate the issuance and revocation of cloud-based mobile door credentials or physical fobs directly through their existing management workflows.
