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:
- Steve Newclubmember joins OceanBlue Club today.
- OceanBlue Club activates him, takes his ID photo using a badging program, and issues him a magnetic-striped ID card.
- The BST synchronizer program links with the Club database that night, and imports the new photo and data.
- The BST synchronizer program also updates the HOA database with all other relevant changes in the Club's database.
- The BST synchronizer program automatically deactivates several Club members' gate access since they became inactive today.
- The next day, Newclubmember arrives at OceanBlue Club's front gate.
- Newclubmember swipes his new ID card, and the gate immediately opens.
- The Front Gate officer sees the new member's photo ID on the PC station's screen.
Standard Features:
- Dedicated synchronizer keeps up-to-date with changes in Club's membership (and ID photos and cards) and/or hotel guest lists.
- Separate data screen for each club member, including contact info, gate events, and more.
- Club members can clear guests, which is all tracked carefully and can be restricted with your business rules.
- Separate data screen for each hotel guest, including gate events, and more.
Advanced Optional Features:
- Integration with club's ID system so members can use club cards at gate*
- Integration with hotel system so that hotel guests can use hotel keys at gate*
