Frictionless Access Control: Automate Your Doors with Cowork.
Managing a shared space is good. Avoiding spending your days handing out keys, physical badges, or remotely opening doors is even better.
The promise of a modern management software like Cowork. is to align the booking schedule with the real world. When a member books a workstation, meeting room, machine, or studio, their access should open at the right time and close as soon as the slot expires.
To achieve this without imposing heavy or proprietary hardware installations, Cowork. natively integrates with the best smart lock and access control solutions on the market.
Supported Access Control Solutions
Every space has its technical constraints, security level, and budget. Whether you manage a private office in a coworking space, full badge-based access in a fablab, or a remotely managed entrance for a coliving space, our ecosystem adapts.

How Does It Work Day-to-Day?
Integrating a smart lock with Cowork. eliminates all administrative friction:
Booking is confirmed: The customer books their slot (via your booking funnel or directory).
Access is generated: Automatically, the system transmits temporary access rights to the relevant smart lock (via our partner’s API).
On the day: The member arrives and uses their smartphone or virtual badge to open the door. Access outside reserved hours is impossible, and permissions deactivate instantly at the end of the slot.
Zero mental load: No more rushing to open the door for latecomers or chasing lost keys.
