The Telcred Platform

Telcred Access Control Infrastructure Platform

In continuous operation since 2017

The infrastructure to build and operate modern access control. Integrate physical access into your products, services and properties through a single API.

What is an infrastructure layer?

The abstraction layer between software and physical access

An access control infrastructure layer sits between your application and the physical hardware — controllers, readers and locks. It abstracts the complexity of managing identities, credentials and permissions into a programmable API, allowing any software platform to control physical access without building a full access control system from scratch.

Programmable

Control doors, credentials and permissions through code instead of proprietary software.

Abstracted

Hardware communication, protocol handling and device management are handled for you.

Composable

Combine with any application layer — your own product, a third-party platform, or Telcred's default applications.

Deployment Models

Deploy in different ways

The Telcred platform supports multiple deployment models that can be used individually or combined. Partners are not limited to a single model — the same organization can integrate as an OEM, embed access into a platform and use default applications, all on the same infrastructure.

Physical Access

Controllers · Readers · Locks · Doors

OEM

Technology providers integrate Telcred directly into their own products or platforms. The access control infrastructure becomes a native part of the solution while Telcred manages identities, credentials and hardware communication.

Embedded Access

Digital platforms and services add physical access functionality through the Telcred API. Access becomes a built-in feature of the platform without developing a full access control system.

Default Applications

Ready-to-use applications built on the Telcred infrastructure. Telcred Access Manager and Telcred Home allow organizations to deploy the platform immediately.

API First

Built for integration

A few lines of code to grant access, issue credentials or unlock a door. The Telcred API handles identity, permissions and hardware communication so you don't have to.

05

Access Events & Data

Real-time logs and event streams available through APIs.

06

Multi-Site & Tenant Services

Manage multiple sites, delegate access to tenants and enable access control as a service.

Why Infrastructure

Why Access Control Infrastructure?

Access control has traditionally been delivered as standalone systems installed in individual buildings. As properties, services and digital platforms become increasingly connected, access control also needs to function as part of this ecosystem.

1

Integration with digital platforms

Modern platforms manage users, services and operations. Through APIs, access control can be integrated directly into these platforms instead of operating as a separate system.

2

Built for new services

Concepts such as unmanned retail, smart residential services and automated logistics require access to be part of the digital service itself.

3

Flexibility and scale

By separating infrastructure from applications, the same platform can support many different solutions while maintaining a consistent access control foundation.

Build on the Telcred Platform

Whether the goal is to embed access control into an existing product, operate access management across multiple sites or offer access services to tenants, the platform provides the APIs and infrastructure needed to scale.
