Innovation that opens, closes doors and more

Added value in access management and control

For more than 25 years, Salto has been building a strong position in the world of wireless access control and access management of land and buildings. They are constantly deepening this expertise with innovative products led by an R&D department. So today they are a versatile partner offering broad solutions in access control and building management.

Salto's offer is no longer limited to access control and management. You can go there for total solutions to efficiently manage and monitor your building or premises. “The days when we only did electronic, intelligent door locks are behind us,” says Eric Beling, business development manager. “Access control in the cloud and/or on-site remains our foundation. Today, Salto is a global player with solid in-house expertise and its own R&D department. This sets us apart from others. We have a varied range that we continue to develop, both in terms of our products and software and the links between the two.”

This innovation manifests itself, among others, in the electronic door fitting Salto XS4 One, a comprehensive door handle system that can be equipped with a keypad, badge or mobile key. There is also the intercom system Salto XS4 Com with NFC tab and QR code, ideal for coliving, student rooms, offices, etc. Communication is via an app and you control the door remotely. A third innovation is the Salto XS4 Face with advanced face recognition technology for secure access without keys, badges or mobile systems.

Growth through cooperation

Since 2024, Salto has been part of the Salto WECOsystem group, together with Gantner and Vintia. The company can offer many more options and innovations by adding lockers and ticketing, reservation and registration systems to its portfolio, respectively. “It gives us additional opportunities to help customers and facilitates collaborations,” explains marketing manager Johan Ceuppens. “A choice for our products therefore always starts from the specific needs of a company or institution. Our catalogue is very extensive. Tailor-made advice on what you really need is crucial in what type of solution we offer you. This can range from a standalone system to a total system, and everything in between. According to your budget, with our expertise and future-proof products.”

The visitor management story is an important enhancement in Salto's range. This provides customers with the necessary flexibility on the one hand and simplifies the sign-in and access process on the other. “You can admit someone to the car park via number plate recognition, for example. Or share safety regulations and important information in a video or have them sign a consent form when signing in,” says Beling. “That's working more efficiently and increasing security in one step. Moreover, you monitor and manage visitor flows in a simple way via our tool BlueEntrance Space ID.”

At home in all markets

Salto operates in various sectors. From healthcare and industry to universities and colleges. Yet the company is noticing increasing interest from the residential market. “Our cloud platforms allow remote building management. Interesting for an association of co-owners or syndic,” Ceuppens explains. “You can use it to manage communal doors, but also private locks. With strict privacy rules, of course. Safe living and smart access go hand in hand. Troon 17 in Ostend is a great reference. There, 170 flats were equipped with Salto Homelok, which works with a badge, PIN code or mobile key. If you rent out your seaside flat at the weekend, for example, this makes it easy to temporarily share the digital access key with your guests. Salto proves that access management is much more than opening, closing and managing doors. It's about smart, secure and user-friendly solutions that grow with the needs of today and tomorrow.”
