01

The key

ByteKey is the iOS and Android app customers use to register, verify their identity, and receive a QR entry credential. Membership becomes a code they already have in their pocket. App Store and Google Play — coming soon.

02

The door

ByteGate is edge hardware plus cloud. A scanner at each door makes the local decision, even offline. The cloud holds the dashboard, device health, and Sentinel morning review.

03

The operator

Every pass lands in Locations. Unlock from here. The same window the operator uses all day.

Morning review

ByteGate Edge executes access decisions at the door. ByteGate Cloud syncs policy, operations, and device status, then prepares Sentinel results for daily review. Sentinel analyzes entries and POS payments overnight; ByteKey provides customer identity and QR credentials for iOS and Android.

Operator Capabilities

Core Capabilities

Built for operational teams that need reliability, speed, and centralized control across multiple entry points.

Offline-First Architecture

Entry decisions run locally with a 48-hour cache — no downtime during network outages. Logs sync automatically when connectivity is restored.

OTA Updates & Automated Rollback

Push software updates to all edge devices from the cloud dashboard. The rollout circuit breaker detects bad updates and rolls back automatically — no manual intervention required.

Sentinel Daily Review

Sentinel analyzes door entries and POS payments overnight, then gives operators a focused morning review workflow with store-level summaries, suspicious activity windows, CCTV guidance, and optional access-control escalation.
