Connecting people and spaces one door at a time
Story
A prototype built in the kitchen in 2012 has turned into the highest-rated access control solution known as Kisi (kē-zē).
This brainchild of Bernhard, Max, and Carl started small, but their vision has always been monumental – to change the way we secure facilities. As an IoT company, our goal is not to create another product but to enhance an everyday experience – working and living indoors.
Today we are the industry-leading physical security system for modern facilities. Arming your team members with a keyless entry system, Kisi does much more than eliminating keys. It ensures a safe yet welcoming facility experience. Our simple web dashboard and easy-to-use app save administrators and employees time, result in fewer interruptions, and add up to a positive work experience day after day. Kisi is committed to securing your entry into the future.
