Managing contractor access for property managers and construction site administrators has always been a challenge. Plumbers, HVAC technicians, and electricians often need temporary access to restricted areas, and traditional methods—such as handing out physical keys or coordinating in-person entry—can be inefficient and risky.
Enter WiseIngress, a cutting-edge access management platform paired with an igloohome smart keybox powered by offline technology. Together, they deliver a secure, streamlined solution for managing contractor access without compromising convenience or safety.
The Problem with Traditional Access Control
Property managers and site admins face common issues when granting temporary access:
- Scheduling conflicts for key pickup and drop-off.
- Security risks from lost or duplicated keys.
- Operational inefficiencies caused by manual coordination.
These challenges lead to wasted time, increased costs, and potential security breaches.
