Integration enhances estate access control

Issue 2 2025 Access Control & Identity Management

With one-third of residential burglaries starting at the front door, the continued seamless integration of Glovent’s estate management platform with Impro access control software is welcome news for the over 130 000 South Africans who call Glovent-managed estates home.

One leading SA armed response provider notes that of the five most common ways criminals gain entry into our homes, the top two involve access through front doors and security gates.

“Criminals prefer the most direct route, and this makes the real-time integration of estate access control systems with estate management platforms critical,” says Glovent Solutions’ CEO, Anton Potgieter.

By successfully integrating Impro with its system, estate managers can rest assured that the Glovent smartphone-based estate management app will always provide an accurate single view of who is allowed entry into estates. When a resident’s status changes (for example, if they move or their membership expires), the Glovent Community Management System (CMS) automatically updates both the estate database and the Impro access control system.

Further, if a member is deactivated in Glovent, their access credentials will be immediately deactivated in Impro, preventing any potential security risks. “It is vital for everyone that estates do not compromise when it comes to security, and the highest priority of estates should be providing a trusted ‘single source of truth’ regarding who is allowed through the front gate,” explains Potgieter.

With its ability to connect to various forms of resident identification (such as fingerprint and wave access systems, remotes, UIF tags, physical cards, and more), Impro’s primary function is to monitor and manage who enters and exits an estate, ensuring that only authorised individuals are granted access.

Glovent’s smartphone-based app is a community management tool designed to assist management committees with efficiently organising their communities. It also provides a single instant interface for community members to interact with their estate and its facilities and services.

As technology evolves, integration between different systems has become a game-changer for estate management. With the integration between Impro and Glovent, information flows seamlessly between the two systems.
