Centrios is debuting at ISC West 2024 and showcasing its new access control platform, which is designed for small businesses in North America.
According to the company, the platform is made up of a secure app, web interface and purpose-built electronic locks and readers.
The business Centrios, a brand and platform developed within ASSA ABLOY, leverages ASSA ABLOY’s scale and capacity with a bold new start-up strategy and digital-first, customer-centric approach.
“The small business market is about to undergo the type of transformation in digital access management that the residential market experienced between the early 2000s and now,” said Bryan Lieberman, General Manager, Centrios.
“Small business owners are busy entrepreneurs who don’t have time to sort through the complexity of the current landscape of access management options.
“Our channel partners want to offer these business owners a solution that just works, is easy to sell, is well supported and helps them grow their businesses.
“We listened very carefully to our customers and designed our business structure, the product, user interfaces, support tools and even our sales strategy to help our customers make smarter decisions about access for their business faster and with confidence.
“Today, all that hard work comes to fruition with the launch of Centrios at ISC West.”
With Centrios, business operators can quickly manage scheduled access and retrieve access reporting for employees and visitors across multiple physical sites from their phone or a PC.
Systems users can unlock or lock doors with a touch of their phone to a Centrios lock or smart reader.
Centrios is a free system that offers businesses an upgrade path to enhanced features and capacities, such as the number of users, door devices, or scheduling capabilities.
Centrios reports it also connects end users with locksmiths, integrators and security professionals through the Centrios Partner Program.
This program offers partners valuable training content, end user leads, and the ability to manage their own details for representation on the Centrios where-to-buy finder.
“Centrios is more than a lock, more than a smart reader and more than an app,” adds Lieberman.
“It’s a business designed from the ground up to serve the access needs of small and growing businesses.
“With this as our mission, we provide small businesses greater freedom and more time to focus on the activities that are important to them, especially our channel partners when it comes to growing and diversifying their businesses.”
