ProdataKey (PDK), a leading provider of cloud-based access control platforms, recently announced the official rollout of Units—a new feature purpose-built for the multi-family housing sector. Created to modernize how residential environments are secured and administered, Units delivers an intuitive, consolidated experience that empowers property managers to effortlessly govern access control across apartment complexes, high-rise residential towers, and multi-tenant communities.
With the rapid growth of smart multi-family communities, traditional key fobs and manual re-keying protocols present significant operational overhead for property administrators. PDK’s Units feature addresses these challenges directly by providing a clean, logical framework inside the PDK Access app.
Categorized Property Units
Allows Admins and Property Managers to organize apartments, condos, and individual rooms into discrete, easily manageable security entities.
Automated Access & Lease Schedules
Set custom move-in and move-out dates per user, automatically revoking keyless access credentials when lease agreements expire.
PDK Access Mobile Control
Grants residents and managers full visibility in app to generate audit trails, configure schedules, check lock battery health, and receive door activity alerts.
Simplified Multi-Family Management
Eliminates complex manual re-keying and badge reprogramming across large residential complexes with cloud-managed access policies.
Automating Move-Ins, Move-Outs, and Tenant Occupancy
Units allows administrators and site managers to seamlessly group apartments, condos, individual rooms, and shared amenities into individually configurable entities. Property managers can assign specific users and hardware credentials to a Unit with customized move-in and move-out schedules.
This dynamic schedule scheduling automates previously tedious administrative tasks: once a tenant’s lease contract reaches its expiration date, their digital credentials and app permissions are automatically deactivated—preventing unauthorized re-entry and reducing security vulnerabilities for new incoming residents.
“The Units feature has introduced an opportunity for all of our sites to handle problems of complexity in a simple and easy way.”
Couper Sorenson
Senior Product Manager, ProdataKey
Empowering Residents with Mobile Control & Real-Time Audit Trails
In addition to empowering property managers, the Units feature grants residents a unprecedented degree of control through the intuitive PDK Access mobile application. End-users gain real-time visibility into their residence access logs, enabling them to:
- Instant Activity Audits: Generate live access audit trails showing when doors were unlocked and by whom.
- Lock Health Monitoring: Monitor wireless smart lock battery levels to schedule proactive battery replacements before failures occur.
- Push Notifications: Receive real-time push alerts whenever door locks are engaged or unlatched outside normal hours.
- Custom Guest Schedules: Create temporary digital access windows for maintenance staff, cleaners, or visiting guests.
With the launch of Units, ProdataKey reinforces its core mission: engineering access control solutions that are effortlessly simple to deploy, cost-effective to scale, and robust enough for modern commercial and residential deployments.
