Keyless entry from a phone, a widget or a watch

Doordeck lets people open doors, lifts and gates from their phone, on top of the access control systems buildings already have. They needed a mobile front-end that made unlocking a door as quick as paying with your phone, on iOS and Android, without giving anything away on security.

Unlocking in as few taps as possible

An interface designed around one job: get the user through the door with the least effort.

NFC keyless entry

Hold the phone to the reader and the door opens, the same way Apple Pay and Google Pay work.

One codebase for iOS and Android

Built in Flutter, so both platforms get the same experience and every feature ships to both at once.

Widgets and Apple Watch complications

Doors can be opened straight from the iPhone or Android home screen, or from the watch face.

Security

Testing of the encryption and authentication flows against common attacks.

Usability

Several rounds with real users in real buildings, feeding changes back into the interface.

Devices

Checks across a range of phones, operating system versions and smartwatches.

Beta

A beta release to a group of users before launch, with their feedback in the final version.

Real-time monitoring catches problems early, regular updates add features and keep security current, and user feedback from support goes straight into the backlog. The front-end was designed to grow, so new features and more users don't mean a rewrite.

Faster unlocking and a simpler interface made the product easier to use, testing and monitoring kept it secure, and regular releases kept it performing well on every device. Users singled out how easy and reliable it is.
