Commercial Properties
Replace paper logs and legacy wiring with a secure, tablet-based visitor management system designed for manufacturing and commercial facilities.
Built for High-Volume Commercial & Industrial Gates
Gate Sentry secures gates for manufacturing plants, warehouses, distribution hubs, and logistics yards — verifying vendors, contractors, and delivery drivers with no new hardware, no trenching, and full offline operation when connectivity drops.
One Platform, Every Role
From the guard at the gate to the visitor pulling up and the administrator overseeing it all — Gate Sentry works for everyone who touches your facility's access.
Clear the Line at the Vehicle Window
Gate Sentry runs on the tablet your guards already carry, so officers can step out to the truck window instead of being tied to a desk. Pre-registered drivers clear in about 10 seconds — scan the SentryPass, confirm the match, wave them through.
- ~10-second entry: Scan a SentryPass and the verified profile loads instantly
- Real-time search: Look up anyone by name, company, license plate, or visit history
- Works offline: Keeps screening and logging during internet or power outages, then syncs automatically
- Officer certification: Built-in online training course with completion certificates standardizes how every guard processes visitors
Check In Before Arrival or On Site
Visitors and contractors can pre-register before they arrive or complete registration on site. Either way, Gate Sentry guides them through the required information, documents, and approvals for a faster, more consistent check-in.
- Pre-register before arrival: Complete contact information, vehicle details, ID uploads, waivers, forms, and required documents ahead of time
- Check in on site: New visitors can register when they arrive using a mobile device, tablet, kiosk, or with security at the front desk or gate
- Faster returning visits: Pre-registered visitors can be quickly verified and checked in without repeating the full registration process
- Everything captured: Required forms, documents, signatures, and visitor details are recorded with the visit
- No visitor app required: Registration and check-in can be completed directly through a browser
Complete Visibility Across Your Facility
Manage every entry point from one Admin Portal. Review who came on-site and when, pull reports for audits, and enforce facility-wide rules — all from a phone or laptop.
- Reporting dashboard: Monitor security-team performance, see your busiest days and times, and analyze visitor and contractor activity
- Property-wide ban list: Block an individual or company across every gate in one step
- Audit-ready trails: Every visitor interaction is automatically timestamped and stored in the cloud
- Custom permissions: Tailor access by site, department, or role
The Old Way vs. Gate Sentry
Paper logs, spreadsheets, and proprietary gate hardware feel normal because they're familiar. Here's what changes when you replace them with tablet software.
| Feature | Paper, Excel & Proprietary Hardware | Gate Sentry Tablet |
|---|---|---|
| Identity Verification | Blind trust of handwritten names | ID scanning and watchlist checks |
| On-Site Headcount | A static record of past arrivals | A real-time, live on-site headcount |
| Data Privacy | Exposes prior visitor data to everyone | Encrypted, private visitor records |
| Check-In Speed | A one-to-fifteen-minute bottleneck | A ~10-second scan that clears the line |
| Guard Mobility | Bound to a fixed interior desk | Handheld mobility for vehicle lanes |
Unmanned Gates or Entrances Run on Sentry Solo
For overnight shifts, back gates, and smaller sites with no officer, Sentry Solo turns unmanned gates into secure self-service access points — no hardware to install.
VirtualKey
Employees open gates and doors from the app — no fobs or cards. Every use is logged and admins control who, where, and when.
VirtualKeypad
Visitors scan the SentrySign QR code to open a secure keypad in their browser — no app, no gate hardware. Enter the code, gate opens.
Visitor Intercom
No code? The visitor searches by address and places a secure call to the right department — names and personal numbers stay private.
Staffed main gate, unmanned secondary gates? Gate Sentry and Sentry Solo run together, one dashboard.
