Integrating Access Control with Technology Platforms: A Deep Dive into Salto and Nexudus
Today, access control has moved beyond simple lock and key systems. With smart technology on the rise, businesses are integrating advanced access control solutions with their existing tech platforms. This integration enhances security, streamlines operations, and improves user experiences. Two standout examples in this domain are Salto and Nexudus. In this blog post, we will explore how these platforms can be integrated for seamless access control management.
Understanding Salto and Nexudus

Nexudus
Nexudus is a comprehensive management platform for coworking and flexible workspaces. It offers tools for managing memberships, booking resources, billing, CRM, and more. Nexudus aims to streamline operations and improve management efficiency. By integrating third-party tools and services, Nexudus provides a unified platform for workspace operators.
Benefits of Integrating Access Control with Technology Platforms
- Enhanced Security: Integration ensures only authorised individuals can access specific areas, reducing unauthorised entry.
- Streamlined Operations: Automating access control processes saves time and reduces manual effort for staff.
- Improved User Experience: Members enjoy seamless access without the need for multiple keys or cards.
- Data Insights: Integrated systems provide valuable data on space utilisation and user behaviour, helping businesses make informed decisions.
Integration of Salto and Nexudus
Integrating Salto’s access control systems with Nexudus offers numerous advantages for coworking and flexible workspaces. Here’s how this integration works and the benefits it brings:
How It Works
- Unified User Management: Users registered on Nexudus synchronise automatically with Salto’s access control system. Changes in user status, such as new memberships or terminations, are reflected in real-time.
- Automated Access Rights: Access rights are dynamically assigned based on membership type, booking status, and other criteria defined in Nexudus. For example, a member who books a meeting room via Nexudus can be granted temporary access to that room for the duration of their booking.
- Seamless Entry and Exit: Members use their credentials (e.g., access cards, mobile apps) to enter the workspace and specific areas without needing separate systems.
- Centralised Monitoring and Reporting: Administrators can monitor access events and generate reports from a single platform, making it easier to track usage and identify potential security issues.
Benefits
- Operational Efficiency: Staff manage access control directly from the Nexudus platform, reducing the need for separate systems and minimising administrative overhead.
- Enhanced Member Experience: Members enjoy a smooth and hassle-free experience, with easy access to the spaces they need.
- Scalability: The integration supports the growing needs of coworking spaces, allowing them to scale operations and add new members without manual intervention.
- Security and Compliance: Integrated systems ensure that access control policies are consistently applied, enhancing overall security and aiding compliance requirements.
Case Study: A Success Story
Consider a hypothetical coworking space, “WorkHub,” which decided to integrate Salto and Nexudus to enhance their operations.
Background
WorkHub used Nexudus to manage memberships and space bookings. However, their traditional access control system was cumbersome, requiring manual updates and separate key cards for different areas.
Implementation
By integrating Salto with Nexudus, WorkHub automated their access control processes. New members received access rights immediately upon registration. Bookings made through Nexudus automatically updated access permissions. Members used a single access card or mobile app to enter the building and booked rooms.
Results
- Time Savings: WorkHub’s staff saved significant time by not having to manually update access permissions.
- Improved Security: Unauthorised access incidents dropped as access control policies were strictly enforced.
- Member Satisfaction: Members appreciated the seamless experience, leading to higher satisfaction and retention rates.
