Assa Abloy is opening up new possibilities for secure, efficient and mobile access processes with the integration of its ARX access control solution into the Sharry Workplace Experience platform. The partnership combines proven digital access expertise with a modern, mobile user interface – for employees and visitors alike.
Seamless integration of access and visitor management
By connecting Assa Abloy ARX to Sharry, both employee and visitor badges can be managed centrally. Administrators assign permissions, control mobile key distribution (wallet, NFC, BLE) and create visitor accounts – all in a single, intuitive interface. Time-consuming parallel processes are eliminated and the manual effort for facility and security teams is significantly reduced.
‘By integrating with the Sharry platform, we are making everyday life easier for our customers,’ explains Matti Kuismin, VP & Head of Product Unit EAC at Assa Abloy Opening Solutions EMEIA. ‘Our open ARX system can be connected quickly and offers the highest security standards – now also with mobile keys directly in the wallet.’
Features and key technical data
- Digital access control: Offline and online operation combined with alarm functionality.
- Open platform: Seamless integration with third-party systems and software ecosystems.
- Mobile credentials: Support for wallet-based keys, NFC and BLE unlocking.
- Centralised visitor management: Automatic creation, briefing and sign-off of guests.
- Workplace analytics: Real-time insights into access statistics and visitor behaviour – with a proven ROI.
Practical application in Scandinavia
In a pilot project at a Scandinavian company, employees are already using their smartphones or smartwatches to log in at ARX-controlled doors. ‘Our customers now enjoy real app and wallet convenience with HID Mobile Credentials,’ reports an implementation partner. Access processes are automated, fast and highly secure.
Holistic approach for modern working environments
The combination of Assa Abloy ARX and Sharry enables a strategic view of access management as a business enabler. Onboarding new employees, assigning temporary authorisations or recording visitor data – all processes are integrated. The result is a future-proof infrastructure that adapts flexibly to growing requirements.
‘We are delighted to expand our access control ecosystem with Assa Abloy’s established ARX,’ adds Karel Hudínek, Head of Technology Partnerships at Sharry. ‘Together, we offer companies and building managers an intelligent, efficient and secure solution for modern access management.’
