Club and/or Hotel Database Integration
PRINT PAGE - GET PDF
Purpose:
SkyWatch™ and GateWatch™ can be linked to third-party databases to integrate club social members and hotel guests into the gate security infrastructure.
Typical Users:
Gate Officers, Community Manager
Method of Use:
Database synchronization happens automatically. Social club members and hotel guests appear in GateWatch™ when users search for names. SkyWatch CMS can also be used to look up information about social club members and hotel guests (configurable).
Example of Use:
  1. Steve Newclubmember joins OceanBlue Club today.
  2. OceanBlue Club activates him, takes his ID photo using a badging program, and issues him a magnetic-striped ID card.
  3. The BST synchronizer program links with the Club database that night, and imports the new photo and data.
  4. The BST synchronizer program also updates the HOA database with all other relevant changes in the Club's database.
  5. The BST synchronizer program automatically deactivates several Club members' gate access since they became inactive today.
  6. The next day, Newclubmember arrives at OceanBlue Club's front gate.
  7. Newclubmember swipes his new ID card, and the gate immediately opens.
  8. The Front Gate officer sees the new member's photo ID on the PC station's screen.
