The knowledge acquired through constant market learning has driven SALTO Systems to redesign and readapt the Clay by SALTO solution as a new cloud-based product improvement called SALTO KS Keys as a Service.

Evolution based on technology

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. 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 with the ability to deliver access control via Keys as a Service.”

Flexible access control management

Incorporating SALTO’s proven reliability and stability in cloud-based access control, SALTO KS offers a solution that is perfectly designed for retail, 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.

Rebranding and upgrade insights

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. A great variety of projects have been accomplished including small businesses such as dentist offices, larger shared office spaces, and grocery store chains.

 SALTO KS Keys as a Service has already been successfully integrated with market leaders to offer a comprehensive security solution within connected services. The partnership between Panasonic Cameramanager and SALTO, for example, is the first successful integration between a state-of the-art cloud CCTV company and the SALTO KS cloud-based access control.

Brand recognition

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 transformed 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 – an advanced and well-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 revolutionised 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 access control solution.
