One of the main reasons why people choose to live in Gated Communities is the security of their Home and Family. However, the Security Gate is one of the most non-digitized aspects of a Gated Community.
ADDA Gatekeeper App gives them additional reasons to live in apartments.
This New Year, why not change that?!
With increasing popularity of home delivery for food, services or ecommerce goods, every day multiple delivery personnel visit your community, many of whose backgrounds are not checked properly. Thus, tightening the security around your home has become a pressing need today.
Also, Residents dislike having their Guests wait at the Security Gate in the long queue of delivery boys and other visitors, waiting to make their entry and waiting for the intercom call to be made to you.
Gatekeeper solves these problems elegantly.
Presently, all visitor and staff records are maintained in physical registers, which are cumbersome to maintain and makes searching for any historical records extremely difficult. In the Gatekeeper app, visitor’s name, contact number, car number, photo, and more such details can be captured in a jiffy and updated at the back end in real time. This app enables the security guards to function in an advanced and a swifter manner avoiding long queues at security gates. This app has multiple uses, like, the security guards can look up the details of the resident the visitor has come to meet and verify by sending an SMS or calling the concerned resident directly from the App.
Above everything else, this App is awesomely easy to set up. Even for apartment complexes which have 500+ apartments, it just takes an hour to set up Gatekeeper App.
5 Steps to start using the Gatekeeper App:
1. Upload Flats/Residents Data
You need to have basic personal details and contact information of your residents with you. This data is synchronized with the Gatekeeper App, enabling to the security personnel to directly call/SMS residents from the App in case of any requirement. The residents can enter the details of expected visitors through their ADDA App, or online portal and the same details becomes available to the security personnel at the gate. This removes the chance of your guests having to stand in a long queue at the entry gates making entries. If you have the data of your residents, irrespective of whether you are using the Free Foundation package of ADDA or Premium packages, you would be able to use ADDA.
2. Give access to your Security Guard
Go to “Manage Users” in your Admin Dashboard. Add your Security Personnel, create an ID for him and give him access to Gatekeeper.

Residents are now getting notified about any visitors to their apartments. The record of visitors with entry and exit times along with vehicle details is also available for everyone to see. We also record staff entry exit using ADDAGateKeeper. Now our Property Manager has complete visibility about number of visitors and staff inside the complex in real time.
