Nate Spitz, General Manager, Locks and Access Solutions, Allegion discusses the significance of mobile credentials for the security industry.
I have nearly two decades of experience in the security industry, marked by innovation, customer success and leadership. I’ve held various roles within Allegion’s sales organization, gaining extensive insight into customer needs.
As General Manager of Allegion Canada, LCN door controls and now Schlage, I’ve led trusted brands through transformation and growth.
In today’s rapidly evolving world – where digital, mobile and connected experiences are the norm – security must be smarter, more adaptable and deeply integrated.
With a robust hardware, software and services portfolio, Allegion is uniquely positioned to lead this transformation.
Our focus on security and customer experience allows us to innovate with purpose, delivering solutions that not only protect people and assets but also enhance the way organizations operate in a connected world.
At the heart of this innovation is the Schlage XE360 Series, a next-generation wireless electronic lock designed to meet the demands of modern access control.
Powered by our FleX Module, the XE360 will offer real-time WiFi connectivity, enabling seamless integration into a wide range of access control systems.
This flexibility allows customers to scale and adapt their security infrastructure without being locked into a proprietary ecosystem.
A key pillar of our strategy is the continued shift toward mobile credentials.
We’re enabling a true seamless experience by enabling people to use their smart phone or wearable as their credential.
Our credential and reader technology solutions support this evolution, offering secure, convenient access across a wide range of devices.
This mobile-first approach not only enhances user experience but also aligns with broader trends in digital identity and smart building integration.
We understand that our customers operate in diverse environments with complex technology stacks.
That’s why our solutions are built to integrate seamlessly with leading access control software providers.
Our Physical Access Control (PAC) and PropTech Alliance partners are essential to this mission.
Through extensive collaboration, we confirm that our products work harmoniously within existing infrastructures – reducing complexity, accelerating deployment and enhancing overall system performance.
At Allegion, trust is not just a legacy – it’s a promise.
With the XE360 Series, the FleX Module, powerful software solutions and a strong network of technology alliance partners, we are unlocking a new era of access control.
One that is mobile, digital and deeply connected. One that empowers organizations to move faster, operate smarter and protect what matters most.
This spirit of innovation doesn’t stop with our intelligent wireless locks.
At Allegion, we’re continuously investing in the evolution of our credential and reader portfolio to meet the demands of a mobile-first, interoperable future through global platforms and the adoption of forward-thinking industry standards.
Together, these innovations reflect our commitment to delivering a unified, intelligent access ecosystem – one that empowers organizations to manage security dynamically, respond in real time and embrace the full potential of a connected world.
The rapid pace of change is here, and our business will continue to be at the forefront of innovative solutions.
