Integrations

Start without integrations. Connect a turnstile, barrier gate or time and attendance system when you want.

Integrations with ANeT, RON, Aktion, Cominfo, Salto, SAP, Okta and others are ready‑made. We connect to other systems through their API.

  1. 1Step 1

    Induction and signature

    The contractor completes the induction at the kiosk and signs it.

  2. 2Step 2

    Access through your system

    The kiosk issues a card through your access control system, or the turnstile opens through an API.

  3. 3Step 3

    The turnstile lets them through

    The turnstile lets through only contractors with a valid induction.

  4. 4Step 4

    Exit

    On the way out, the contractor drops the card into the collector or goes through the connected turnstile. That ends the visit.

Barrier gates and license plates

We send license plates through the API to the whitelist of your barrier gate system.

  • With an integrationThe kiosk needs access only to the connected system.
  • Turnstile via cloud or on siteThe kiosk talks to the turnstile through the cloud or directly on site.
  • DataWe store the data on Google Cloud, encrypted and backed up regularly.

Questions and answers

Frequently asked questions about integrations

How do you connect visitor management to a turnstile?

We connect to your turnstile through an API. Integrations with access control and attendance systems such as ANeT, RON, Aktion, Cominfo and Salto are ready‑made; we connect to others through their API, as a project with their supplier. The turnstile then lets through only contractors with a valid induction and signature. On the way out, the contractor goes through the connected turnstile, and that ends the visit. Where the access control vendor provides no API to report the exit, the contractor drops the card into the collector. The kiosk only needs internet; with an integration it needs access only to the connected system, and no VPN. aReception is live within a month, including the connection, and you can connect the turnstile later too.

Our access control system is not in the tabs above. Can you connect to it?

Yes. We connect to it through its API, as a project with your access control supplier.

How long does an integration take?

aReception is live within a month, including a turnstile or access control connection. Without integrations, we deploy within 14 days of the order.

What does an integration cost?

It depends on the turnstile or access control system and on working with its supplier. We call the supplier and agree on the price for each project.

Do you need a VPN?

No. The kiosk only needs internet and access to the one system we connect.

How are integrations set up?

We set them up. We connect through their API to systems not in the tabs, or your system connects through our public REST API, as we agree with its supplier. We set up the check‑in flows with you, and you can also adjust them yourself in a visual editor.

How do license plates get into our barrier gate system?

We send license plates through the API to the whitelist of your barrier gate system.
