SmartIntego sets new standard for secure, scalable access control within co-working and multi-tenant spaces

Managing access in dynamic environments like co-working spaces and multi-tenant properties is no easy task. Operators and developers need to juggle security, flexibility, and efficiency – without the hassle of lost keys, complex credential management, or costly system overhauls. SimonsVoss is tackling these challenges head-on with its advanced access control solution, SmartIntego – a scalable, wireless digital locking option. SmartIntego has been designed precisely for complex environments as it can integrate with many existing security and building management systems.

Goodbye, Lost Keys. Hello, Smart Access

Traditional access control solutions rely on physical keys or locally stored digital credentials, which can be lost, duplicated, and difficult to manage across multiple users.

SmartIntego flips this model on its head, with access permissions secured in a cloud-based or on-premises systems that enables real-time monitoring and remote access control.

From single-door setups to multi-site facilities managing over 10,000 doors, the system seamlessly connects with existing security infrastructure within these multi use spaces, such as:

• CCTV (video surveillance) for a complete security overview.
• Time tracking systems to monitor workforce movement.
• Telecommunications systems for access via intercom or mobile devices.
• Room booking systems to automate space management.
• Intruder detection systems (IDS) for enhanced security response.

Built for Co-Working and Property Developers

The demand for flexible, secure, and cost-effective access control is on the rise as hybrid working trends reshape building management.

The UK and Germany are Europe’s largest coworking markets. By the end of 2024, the UK had 3,090 co-working spaces, with London leading the list with 895 locations.

The demand for co-working spaces is continuing to rise. Sketch Labs revealed a 100% increase in searches for ‘co-working space’ in the last five years, demonstrating a jump in remote and hybrid working models and that employees are continuing to seek flexible environments to create a balance in their professional and personal lives.

From co-working hubs and serviced offices to mixed-use developments and residential complexes, SmartIntego is already helping operators and developers future-proof their security.

“Co-working and multi-tenant spaces need a security system that’s as flexible as their business model,” said Bruce Donald, UK and Ireland Manager for SimonsVoss.

“SmartIntego not only eliminates security risks but also reduces admin time and costs for operators,” he adds.

Future-Proof Access Control Without the Overhaul

Unlike traditional systems that require expensive rewiring or additional servers, SmartIntego integrates directly into existing security frameworks.

The versatile, ready-to-deploy solution connects directly to building management systems via the SmartIntego firmware interface. This allows integration partners to develop tailored access control solutions, meeting the specific needs of industries and clients – without any costly infrastructure changes.

To ensure trouble-free implementation, SimonsVoss operates a Partner Verification Scheme, certifying integration partners who meet the company’s high-quality standards. This guarantees that SmartIntego is deployed smoothly within existing security ecosystems, offering a robust solution for facilities managers looking to enhance security, compliance, and operational efficiency.

As co-working spaces and multi-tenant needs evolve, outdated key systems and rigid access control methods are struggling to keep up. SmartIntego is setting a new standard for smart access control within co-working and multi-tenant spaces.
