CASE STUDY - ICO CREATIVE

Hands-off property management with remote access control.

iCo Creative, a coworking space in Maitland, Australia, transformed their access control by implementing Airfob’s mobile-first solution. With the growth of Maitland, a booming suburb in New South Wales, there was an influx of young professionals looking for permanent desks rather than hot desks, increasing the demand for security and flexibility. With a focus on providing seamless, 24/7 access to their members, iCo Creative found the perfect fit with Airfob’s Edge Readers and Patches, allowing them to integrate printers and doors into one cohesive system—all managed remotely. > Read the Full Story.

CHALLENGE

iCo Creative faced the challenge of providing a secure, self-sufficient access control system for a coworking space without on-site management. iCo needed a system that allowed 24/7 access to its members without the need for front desk staff, enabling seamless interaction between the space and its users.

Additionally, with the founders often off-site or even overseas, they required a solution that could be managed remotely. Previous solutions they explored were limited by server-based management and lacked the flexibility they needed, such as granting temporary access or monitoring who enters the space.

SOLUTION

Airfob provided iCo Creative with a cloud-based access control system that addressed their specific needs. With Airfob Edge Readers installed at entry points and Airfob Patches integrated with printers, iCo was able to offer seamless access to members and staff using mobile credentials. The fully cloud-based solution allowed iCo Creative to manage everything remotely—from granting access to monitoring usage—without ever having to be on-site.

Additionally, Airfob’s mobile-first approach provided users with an effortless experience. Members received their credentials digitally, allowing them to use their smartphones to access the space and printers instantly. This not only streamlined operations but also elevated the user experience.

BENEFITS

Remote Management: Control access to the space and perform remote walkthrough from anywhere in the world.

Seamless User Experience: Members can use a single mobile credential to access everything from doors to printers.

Scalability: Airfob’s cloud-based system allows for easy expansion as iCo Creative grows.

24/7 Member Access

 iCo Creative’s members enjoy round-the-clock access to the space, making it ideal for freelancers and small teams who need flexibility without the constraints of office hours.

Printer Access with Airfob Patch.

Airfob Patch allows members to use the same mobile credential for secure printing, streamlining workflows and eliminating the need for multiple access devices.

Remote Onboarding

New members can be onboarded remotely, with credentials sent directly to their smartphones, enabling them to start using the space without needing a physical handover of keys or cards.

WHAT’S NEXT

With the success of Airfob’s integration into their coworking space, iCo Creative is looking to expand its use of smart access control. Plans include integrating Airfob’s system into additional office spaces and exploring more IoT solutions that could further enhance the coworking experience for their members.
