Nuki
API token
Nuki Smart Lock. The guest receives a code for the length of the booking.
Access control
Link a lock to a site or a resource. When the booking is confirmed, the guest receives a PIN or an unlock link, valid for that slot. If they cancel, access is removed.
The booking flow works without a lock. Once you connect one, entry follows payment or a manual confirmation, with nothing to send by hand. The same flow covers coworking, flex office, a fablab, coliving, or a medical practice.
Nuki, Kisi and WelcomR connect with an API token. Tedee, Salto KS and Tapkey use OAuth, from the back office.
Link it to the space or to a lockable resource. Several locks, from different brands, can live on the same account.
On confirmation, the code or the link is sent. It covers the booked slot. Cancellation or the end of the stay revokes access, including outside staffed hours.
You keep your installer and your brand. Cowork. calls the provider API and sends the right kind of access.
