Parkit explains: Parakey

Parakey is the Nordic region's largest provider of mobile access for companies with over 400,000 unique users.

What is Parakey?

Parakey is a cloud- and mobile-friendly access control system that ensures that the right person can open locked spaces via their mobile phone.

Service: A complete solution in three parts

Parakey consists of three parts: a cloud service, an app (Parakey App) and smart hardware. These three contribute to creating agility for businesses.

• Cloud service: Provides users with mobile keys. Managed via web portal and can be automated via integrations. 
• Parakey App: Users use their mobile phone to unlock locked spaces, even without internet access.
• Smart hardware: Enriching doors with mobile access, independent of the internet.

The solutions give users the ability and flexibility to manage access online and unlock spaces offline. 

Service: Cloud-based key management

With cloud-based key management, administrators can seamlessly manage mobile keys from a smartphone, tablet or computer. 

The service includes, among others:

• Send keys in seconds
• Tenants can administer themselves
• Setting up time-limited keys
• Access to data on how and when locked spaces are used
• Fast start-up and scale-up
• Automatic onboarding for new users
• Bulk handling

Key management can also be integrated with different types of property systems, booking systems and your own app.

Service: Parakey App

With the app, users can unlock locked spaces via their smartphone, completely independent of the internet. Instead of having different keys for different properties or spaces, Parakey's app brings all the user's keys together in one place - in the smartphone. 

The app allows users to, among other things:

• Send mobile keys
• Adding and removing users
• Give time-limited access

Parakey App is a scalable solution that is customized for each individual customer.

Service: Integration

With Parakey, key management can be handled smoothly on autopilot where the user can, among other things, use Parakey's open API to add mobile access and add mobile access to physical products.

Parakey can easily be connected to over 6-500 services, which makes it easy to build flows visually. Here, the integration hub Zapier is used for automation of key management.

Service: Parakey door handle

Parakey has developed a door handle that works for everything from conference rooms, co-working to semi-public spaces. The user flicks his smartphone towards the door and then gains access. All electronics are integrated into the door handle, and even offline unlocking is possible.
