What’s better than automated access control? Automated access control without the need for any additional wiring or hardware, of course! The ProdataKey (PDK) + Entrio integration delivers exactly that. As organizations seek out smarter, more flexible ways to manage entry without adding complexity, the PDK + Entrio integration extends the power of PDK access control with a modern, mobile-first visitor experience. PDK and Entrio are united in their mission to help integrators and their customers simplify access management while delivering the convenience users expect.
“The Entrio AI + PDK integration brings enterprise-grade video intercom capability to any door or gate using a single, secure QR code. It is a premium, high-margin, hardware-free entry experience deployed in minutes,” says Skyler Crestani, Integrations Product Manager at PDK. Secure by design, the PDK + Entrio integration allows users to reliably open PDK-managed doors directly from the Entrio app via fully encrypted and authenticated cloud-to-cloud communication. Entrio’s QR Intercom handles visitor calls, resident verification, and unlock actions while PDK ensures facilities of all sizes remain simultaneously secure and accessible with proper permissions, enabling integrators to provide a comprehensive, automated security solution without additional hardware or wiring.
Automated Access for (Almost) Any Industry
From multi-family residential properties and amenity spaces to commercial properties and warehouses, The PDK + Entrio integration seamlessly unites software-defined entry permissions with reliable access control. “For dealers in any industry, this integration is a no-brainer. It’s an easy sell and a quick install. You no longer have to pass on massive quotes that kill deals. You can win bids by offering a highly competitive price point, deploying the system in a fraction of the time, and baking in highly predictable, recurring monthly revenue,” Skyler emphasizes.
For multi-family properties, PDK + Entrio delivers resident-facing entry workflows and access for apartments and gated communities via QR access points, routing visitors to residents, concierge teams, or after-hours operators based on established building and time access rules. Additionally, the integration supports controlled guest flows with configurable time windows and optional one-time access rules, centralizing site provisioning, policy templates, and reporting for property management organizations.
For commercial and office spaces, PDK + Entrio grants appropriate access and routes visitors to the right team quickly. The system maps visitor intents, directing users to reception, tenant suites, delivery contacts, or security teams, capturing metadata for each request. Management teams can then execute unlock actions as well as access comprehensive event history logs for compliance and reporting.
PDK + Entrio also enables integrators to apply cloud intercom and remote access control to warehouse gates, handling incoming gate requests and routing drivers to the right dispatcher, manager, or security queue via real-time voice/video verification before access is granted. Executed relay commands are then timestamped with associated operator actions and outcomes, ensuring security teams always have full visibility and control.
The Entrio + PDK integration also supports amenity spaces such as gyms, lounges, meeting rooms, and other shared spaces by linking entry permissions to approved bookings, providing centralized management of amenity access rules and reporting across properties.
Intentionally Designed to Scale
Every PDK + Entrio deployment outfits organizations and their security teams with cloud-native platform updates, remote configuration controls, audit logging, and event traceability, all scalable to support multi-site operations with unlimited users. “At Entrio, our mission is to make every building interaction as simple as having a conversation. Partnering with PDK allows us to combine trusted cloud access control with creating a smarter, more intuitive experience for residents, visitors, and property managers alike. We’re excited to bring this next generation of intelligent property access to customers together," says Morris Ma, CPO & Co-Founder of Entrio AI.
Designed for existing access environments, Entrio separates user interaction, cloud services, and access control so teams can deploy security and access workflows without replacing existing hardware or installing physical intercom equipment. When combined with PDK access control, users simply initiate Open Door requests in the Entrio App which are then routed to PDK.io via HTTPS to be validated. Once validated, PDK.io sends the command to the relevant controller to grant access.
Why PDK + Entrio?
The PDK and Entrio integration modernizes the visitor access experience by replacing traditional intercom hardware with a simple QR code. Visitors scan an Entrio QR code using their smartphone, which instantly connects them to the appropriate tenant, resident, employee, or security operator. Once the visitor is verified, authorized users can remotely unlock PDK-controlled doors directly through the integrated workflow.
“Many QR-based options on the market rely on messy workarounds or separate apps that don't speak to the access control hardware. Entrio and PDK built a direct bridge, meaning you get the ease of a QR-code experience backed by the rigorous security, uptime, and auditing standards of PDK’s access control network.”
