Manual access control can't keep up with a live event
Organizers running manual access control face slow lines, unknown capacity, and no reliable record of who entered and through which door.
Slow lines
Manual checks at the door create delays and bottlenecks.
Outdated capacity
Without real-time visibility, the headcount goes stale or is simply unknown.
Undetected duplicates
No way to tell on the spot if someone already got in through another door.
Unverifiable lists
No guest list checkable on the spot and no reliable record of who entered, when, and through which door.
Full validation at scan time, without relying on internet
The organizer sets up the operation, the team scans at the door, and capacity stays synced across every door of the event.
Organization, venues, and events
The organizer creates their venues and events, and invites their operator team with an organization code.
On-device validated scanning
Each operator scans at their door; duplicates, minors, guest list, and capacity are validated instantly, without waiting on a server.
Capacity synced across doors
Capacity syncs in real time across every door; if one loses signal, it keeps working and reconciles on its own once reconnected.
Everything needed to run a door that never stops
Scanning app for operators
Scans the ticket's QR code or the attendee's document via camera, or manual entry, with instant feedback on every scan.
Entry rules engine
Runs 100% on-device: duplicates, age/minors, guest list, and capacity checks, with no dependency on connectivity.
Real-time capacity sync
Keeps the headcount synced across every active door and reconciles automatically once connectivity returns.
Team and venue management
Venue setup, operator invitations via organization code, and roles per venue.
Event notifications
Alerts for event start, high/full capacity, and events with no entries registered within the expected time.
Clubs, festivals, and multi-venue organizations
Club or bar with nightly access control
Fast scanning with on-the-spot minor and duplicate detection, and real-time capacity to stay within the authorized limit.
Festival with multiple doors
Several doors scanning simultaneously with synced total capacity, plus exit control for events with re-entry.
Multi-venue organization
Manage several venues from one account, operator teams per venue, and per-event attendance reports.
Plans that scale with venues, events, capacity, and operators
From trying the app on a small event to running multiple venues with no ceilings.
