From resorts to HOAs, condo complexes and more, communities today need more than traditional access control—they need intelligent, integrated systems that provide security and convenience at the same time. ProdataKey (PDK) delivers just that by pairing with SymLiv, the community management platform. Through this cloud-based integration, PDK and SymLiv work together to provide residents, guests, and staff a safer and smarter community experience.
What is SymLiv?
SymLiv is a hardware agnostic access management software that integrates seamlessly with ProdataKey’s access control platform. With a name inspired by the biological concept of symbiotic living, SymLiv is dedicated to creating the best possible living experience for all people in a community.
“It's a one-stop shop for all your access and visitor management needs as a community,” says Taylor James, Co-Founder of SymLiv. From visitor registration to payments, communication, education, and more, SymLiv’s platform covers all aspects of community management.
Custom Community Security with PDK and SymLiv
ProdataKey and SymLiv work together to create an efficient community management ecosystem that improves life for all types of people in a community: long-term residents, short-term visitors, vendors, maintenance staff, and more. SymLiv tackles the community management side with their efficient hub-based platform, allowing users to create a system entirely tailored to their unique needs. “And we've got a gate hub for the security staff, we have a mobile reporting hub, we have an intelligence hub, a resident hub, a vendor hub, and more,” Taylor describes. “Each hub has unique capabilities, and you can pick them a-la-carte.”
While SymLiv introduces a highly customizable management platform, ProdataKey steps in to handle the crucial security side. “Security is probably one of the biggest components of livability—you want to make sure that your community is safe,” says Taylor. He continues, “PDK gives us the ability to create unique permissions in terms of where they are allowed to go in the community.” This unified management allows property managers to design and implement customized access rules for residents, guests, maintenance crews, and more—all without excessive manual processes.
The Key to Enhanced Insight and Communication
Beyond access, communication and knowledge are essential when managing a modern community. This is a key focus for SymLiv, according to Taylor:
“In times of emergencies, security issues, or maintenance issues, the community wants to be able to reach out to these people to let them know what they need to be aware of or what they need to be doing.”
When paired with PDK’s real-time access insights and detailed reporting, community managers can be notified of any security threats or unusual activities in a timely manner. This information can then be relayed effectively to residents, visitors, and staff thanks to SymLiv’s efficient communication hub.
ProdataKey + SymLiv: Transition with Ease
For many communities today, the biggest obstacle to upgrading their security is the transition process itself. Switching to new hardware and software can often be a time- and resource-consuming process—but that’s not the case with SymLiv and PDK. “We’ve built out a data migration pipeline that uses AI and analytics to clean up data that they're migrating from their legacy systems into ours,” Taylor explains. “What used to take days now takes minutes through our analytics platform that we've built. And pair that with PDK's ability to basically co-opt and take over existing hardware, and the cost barrier for communities is significantly lowered.”
This streamlined transition means communities can modernize without ripping out functional hardware or spending weeks processing extensive records. The result is a smoother, faster, more affordable path to improvement.
Creating Smarter, Safer Communities with PDK and SymLiv
Together, PDK and SymLiv empower property managers to protect, inform, and manage their residents with ease. From customizable permissions to efficient communication and effortless migration from legacy systems, this integration removes traditional barriers and elevates both safety and convenience. The result is a smart, seamless approach to community management.
