Doordeck is a software that lets you unlock your office from your phone through integration with the building's existing access control infrastructure. Its software, along with its bespoke 'Tile' reader, makes unlocking doors from one's phone or smartwatch easy — by using the user's phone's internet connection & NFC scanner. Unlocking happens in a fraction of a second and securely using AES256 encryption. This is done by leveraging a building's existing access technology rather than ripping it all out. There are no expensive hardware costs, disruptive installation, and unreliable Bluetooth connections. The platform has been installed in hundreds of schools, offices, airports, and gyms across 10 countries including the UK, Russia, and the USA. It has been used to unlock doors more than 500,000 times. The company was selected as a finalist to showcase its innovation at the Airport Innovation Hub in Dubai. Recently, the company signed a distribution arrangement with Oprema- one of the largest and fastest-growing distributors of access control products in the UK. With the funds, the company will develop its team as well as build out more integrations with other market-leading access control systems.
