TLJ partners with Spike Global

TLJ Access Control has joined forces with leading resident engagement and property management software provider Spike Global.

TLJ and Spike powering resident app integration

TLJ Access Control has joined forces with leading resident engagement and property management software provider Spike Global. Together they offer contactless, keyless entry via its Spike Living portal. Residents in a building enabled with the new technology can access the main entrance, pick up their mail or parcel deliveries from a smart locker, take an access-control lift and open their own front door via a single smartphone app. This brings a host of benefits, including:

No need for physical keys – unlimited digital keys on a single app
Multiple doors can be controlled under the same account - for example building main entrance, lift or stairwell, apartment door, gym and even car park barrier
Dynamic and convenient – keys can be added, amended and revoked remotely
Enhanced security - digital keys can be issued to guests, visitors and family members instantly and securely via the Cloud

One app for everything

Not only does keyless, electronic door entry offer convenience for residents, it also has benefits for property managers – not least by eliminating the problem of lost, stolen or damaged keys and keycards.

Digital access control offers a streamlined way to deal with amenity bookings too. For example, if a resident has booked the use of a communal facility such as a cinema room or meeting space, it will remove the need for a member of staff to unlock the facility or be available to hand over a key. Instead, access can be granted via the app, and time limited to the specific booking.

By integrating TLJ’s electronic access control systems into the Spike Living portal, there is no need for residents to have two separate apps if their building has keyless entry, making it quick, convenient and user-friendly. And, of course, in the unlucky event of a smashed or stolen phone, access can be speedily controlled or cancelled on another device.

The lack of physical keys, especially plastic key cards or fobs, also helps with the building's ESG credentials – an increasingly important consideration for developers and operators alike.

What is the Spike Living Portal?

The Spike Living portal is perfectly tailored to each individual building and its facilities, providing residents with one simple, intuitive app that allows them to communicate with the management and with each other – making life easier in a multitude of ways.

From booking laundry services, reporting a maintenance issue or checking if the concierge has received a parcel, the app makes routine communication quick and easy. Not just for the practical things in life – Spike Living can also help new residents to meet each other, make friends, find activities and get to know their local area by receiving targeted offers and discounts from nearby businesses.

With the additional option of integrating electronic access control systems, it is now more useful than ever.

What Spike Global and ourselves have in common is the desire to make life as simple and intuitive as possible for our customers, so working together makes perfect sense. Keyless door entry is convenient, hygienic and secure, giving peace of mind to residents that only authorised people can gain access to the building. Accessing it through the familiar medium of the Spike Living portal means that everything residents need is always at their fingertips.

Luke Martin | TLJ's Chief Technical Officer

We are delighted to be working with TLJ, which, like us, is a forward-thinking company that aims to make everyday life easier through smart technology. With many developers now choosing electronic door entry for its all-round ease and convenience, the ability to integrate this into a single resident engagement portal, accessed via a single app, will be an attractive option to building management teams.
