Doordeck, a pioneer of software-first NFC mobile access control, has entered into a strategic partnership with Tedee, a smart lock provider focused on residential and short term rental markets. This collaboration aims to revolutionise flexible access control to create the offering of scalable, self-install, and cost-effective smartphone NFC access control security for industry needs.

Doordeck provides Tedee with their secure cloud-based access control solution and open SDK. The Doordeck integration enables Tedee smart locks to be unlocked using smartphone NFC technology, in addition to secure Bluetooth technology. No new hardware is required to be installed, therefore providing a complete wireless NFC smart lock solution.

Doordeck’s open SDK integration with tenant experience apps also opens up the ability for Tedee smart locks to be controlled via NFC technology from a third party building experience application. Enabling a path into commercial office spaces for Tedee, with the ability to now cater to small to medium size businesses that have a proprietary building app.

Furthermore, the partnership unlocks improved visitor management capabilities for Tedee. Doordeck provides Tedee with time limited app-less visitor passes. Allowing guests to access their digital keys and unlock Tedee smart locks without having to download the Doordeck or Tedee mobile applications, a great solution for guests at short term-rentals with granted temporary access.

Tedee’s proposition complements Doordeck’s offerings with its easy-to-install, flexible, and scalable smart lock solutions. With the ability to fulfil orders for customers without existing access control systems, Tedee opens up opportunities in residential, short term rental, and hotel markets for Doordeck. Providing affordable smart lock solutions that meet diverse customer needs.

Now with Tedee, for the commercial real estate space, Doordeck has an all-in-one solution to provide tenants with the flexibility to purchase an NFC enabled smart lock solution for their office space which they can install themselves, avoiding disruption, labour costs and downtime associated with bringing additional doors online and integrating with the building’s access control system.

“Partnering with Tedee opens up the opportunity to expand Doordecks software into markets that were once before closed off. By integrating directly with the Tedee smart locks we have unlocked the flexibility to bypass integration with access control systems, meaning Doordeck’s NFC mobile access can be used on any door in, in any space, that has a Tedee smart lock installed. There’s no need for existing access control or electronic lock infrastructure. This is the future of NFC mobile access door management that we’ve all been waiting for”, said Marwan Kathayer, Co-founder of Doordeck.

The partnership between Doordeck and Tedee represents a significant step forward in delivering simple, self-install smartphone NFC door entry solutions for residential, short term and commercial office space. By combining our strengths, both companies are committed to providing an accessible, secure, and efficient mobile smart lock access that utilises NFC technology.

“At Tedee, we’re very excited to start working with Doordeck. Says Grzegorz Chuchra, CEO & Founder of Tedee, Grzegorz continues.. “With their relationships in the commercial property management space and a product that is user-friendly, scalable, and affordable. We now have the ability to accommodate our smart locks for small to medium sized businesses that use their own workplace management applications. Together we will have the ability to expand our verticals and business.”

Doordeck and Tedee demonstrate their shared dedication to innovation, convenience, and security in smart access control solutions. Together, they continue to push the boundaries of technology, setting new standards for the industry.
