Gate Sentry fit considerations

Validate integration/APIs for property-management or security systems beyond wallet support.
Which privacy, compliance, and record-retention requirements matter most for your organisation?
Which plan structure best matches your number of locations, visitor volume, and rollout timeline?
How well does Gate Sentry match your busiest visitor, contractor, or reception workflow?
Which locations, teams, and visitor types should be included in the first rollout?

Required read range and lane layout (single vs multi-lane)
Environmental resilience (ATEX, heavy-duty tags)
Integration with existing access control platform and partner compatibility
Total cost including hardware, installation and integration
