SALTO has rebranded its Cloud-Based Wireless Locking Solution as SALTO KS, Keys as a Service. The inputs for this rebrand have come from a variety of sources, including valuable customer feedback, partners and installers. Real market feedback has been extremely helpful, especially for incremental product improvements.

Evolution based on technology

Another important source of input has been the progress in advanced cloud technologies. “The cloud is here and once again SALTO is innovating security solutions by delivering – and continuously improving – our access control product to end users directly from the cloud,” says SALTO Chief Marketing and Sales Officer Marc Handels. “As a result of years of customer feedback from Clay by SALTO users and technological advancements in cloud computing, we’ve upgraded to a winning product in SALTO KS and the ability to deliver access control via Keys as a Service.”

Incorporating SALTO’s proven reliability and stability in cloud-based access control, SALTO KS offers a solution which is specially embraced for retail, and with vastly better functionality and performance than is possible with a traditional solution. SALTO KS provides a flexible access control management system that requires no software installation or the added expense of a fully-wired electronic product. All that is needed is an online device with an Internet connection. Providing end users with cloud-based SALTO KS Keys as a Service reduces cost and almost eliminates the need for maintenance. SALTO KS cloud-based access control also provides flexibility, scalability, reliability and the ability to manage access control from any Internet platform.

Experience across the globe

"SALTO is innovating security solutions by continuously improving our access control product to end users directly from the cloud"

As a rebranding – and an upgrade – SALTO KS Keys as a Service enjoys the stability of SALTO’s strong brand and existing customer base. SALTO KS already includes more than 2,000 projects in five continents and has also already been successfully integrated with market leaders to offer a comprehensive security solution within connected services. A partnership between Panasonic Cameramanager and SALTO is the first example of integration between a state-of the-art cloud CCTV company and the SALTO KS cloud-based access control.

Just as SALTO’s SVN data-on-card system revolutionised the access control world, Keys as a Service reinforces SALTO’s foundation of innovation. Having revolutionised access control around the world in sectors where security is critical and pioneered market developments since the launching of SVN, SALTO Systems continues to spearhead innovation in the access control market by launching SALTO KS ‘Keys as a Service’ – the most advanced and recognised cloud locking solution on the access control market.

Keys as a Service

“The phrase Keys as a Service combines SALTO’s strong innovation in the access control market with the essence of cloud-computing,” says Handels. “The word ‘keys’ is a recall to SALTO’s foundation of innovation, just as our SVN data-on-card system revolutionized the industry. The phrase ‘as a service’ is the essence of cloud computing referring to an increasing number of services that are delivered over the Internet rather than provided locally or on-site.”

The new attractive design and function of SALTO KS has empowered SALTO as never before to deliver a cutting-edge and user-friendly cloud access control solution.
