I have yet to have an issue with the system, it has consistently worked perfectly! > — Bella Wood, Resident > **Swiftlane has made our gate traffic a breeze!** We've had Swiftlane for a few years now for our gates and really love that you can create PINs for clients to let themselves in. I can also program the gates to be open during certain times that I anticipate high traffic. Even if I'm on a call with someone else, I can open the app and unlock the gate. Customer support is really good about reaching out and letting me know something is wrong before it becomes a problem. Highly recommend! > — Randolph Boyd-Martinez, Property Manager > **I love Swiftlane!** I work at sola salons and they use it for our system to let clients into the building and love how easy it is to manage personalized codes and that I can even answer the intercom straight from my phone. Highly recommend! > — Rachel Bryant, Salon Stylist > **Swiftlane is extremely user-friendly for both residents and management.** The mobile access, face recognition, and touch-less entry features have made daily operations smoother and more secure. Installation was straightforward and the support team at Swiftlane has been responsive, professional, and knowledgeable. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a modern, efficient, and reliable access control solution. > — Jamaria Baptiste, Maintenance Manager > **Facial recognition is super handy when I forget my keys!** Swiftlane also allows management of PIN numbers for guest access and/or caregivers! It also logs all entries with a visual capture and the time of access for all entries to the building and recreation room. I can manage all tasks from the app or laptop along with live camera feeds of the mailroom. Worth looking into as a solution! > — Jay Singer, Resident > **We chose Swiftlane against ButterflyMX** Swiftlane was less expensive and offered better functionality. We've had it for about 5 years now and it's been great. The tech continues to evolve and is quite stable, and customer service is very responsive. > — Andrea Schwark, Property Manager > **Great property management solution** Swiftlane made it easier to manage the property because we were able to connect the system to our third party property manager and allow them to run with the process in terms of being the front desk. I don’t have to sit onsite in the office and wait to open doors for resident’s visitors or deal with any potential issues. > — Adam Basuljevic, Asset Manager > **User-friendly system** There are definitely many things that I appreciate about Swiftlane. The dashboard has been really easy and super user-friendly. Some things I really appreciate about Swiftlane are that I can help open the gate for delivery people from anywhere. I just get a call on my phone, I open up the app, I can see who it is, and then let them in. > — Catherine Hsu, Property Manager > **Elegant and user-friendly solution** For me, Swiftlane seemed to be not only the most elegant solution in terms of form factor and installation, but also in the product itself. From what I've seen and experienced across Swiftlane and other products, the difference in user experience was night and day. Its affordability compared to any other solutions we saw made it the perfect trifecta. > — Adam, Property Manager > **Swiftlane is a game-changer** As a member of the board of our condominium association, I found Swiftlane’s system to be a game-changer. Its seamless integration of RFID, Bluetooth, and visual recognition technologies has not only enhanced our security but also made access more convenient for our residents. The setup process was straightforward, and any issues were quickly addressed by Swiftlane’s responsive support team. > — Alexander Gancarz, Condo Board Member > **I'm glad our condo association chose it.** Our condo association uses the Swiftlane entry system. It's great. It recognizes my face so I no longer need to carry keys to enter the building. When guests or delivery people need to enter it is very easy to buzz them in. Their face appears on my phone so I can see who I'm letting in. So far the system has been reliable. We have 400 units and everyone is happy with it. > — Ann Meyers, Resident > **I recommend Swiftlane all the time!** Swiftlane is the best I have ever used. Its simplicity with facial recognition and the ease and interface of the app makes living in my complex so much easier and enjoyable. > — Michael Manzo, Resident > **I've never run into a problem with Swiftlane in over 2 years.** I love the system! It’s easy to use for me and my guest and I love that I can see anyone at my door through the camera, talk to them and answer my buzzer anywhere, even if I am hours away. Everything about Swiftlane is good and I highly recommend it to people. > — Dantrell Holliday, Resident > **Swiftlane is a very user-friendly system.** Our overall experience with Swiftlane has been great. Our clients are happy that their guests find Swiftlane clear and easy to use. > — Gamaliel Carreno, Community Associate > **They are great!** Our building just had the Swiftlane Reader X installed and it's been a game-changer, in terms of convenience and security. We were looking for a way to heighten the security in the building by replacing our outdated door buzzer system and we looked at several products. Swiftlane was the unanimous favorite among our HOA members because of their customer service reputation and their stellar installation partner in Chicago. > — Jeremy Aufderheide > **Very easy to use** I’m very happy with Swiftlane that my condo recently started using. I love seeing a picture of who used the code I provided. I was worried about it all in the beginning, having to learn something new but it was very easy and I couldn’t be happier. > — Kim Sperling > **Facial recognition is super!** It is very convenient being able to just walk in after scanning your face. We also love being able to let guest in with a code and seeing who is coming in and out. > — Jalen Finn, Resident > **I recommend Swiftlane to everyone!** We have it at my office and I love that I don't have to carry my key fob, easy to sign in with facial recognition or remotely from the app on my phone. > — Haley Aros, Marketing Coordinator > **Perfect solution for us** Swiftlane not only eliminated the need for a physical key, it made the office access experience completely touchless. Being able to access the office using just your face or mobile phone was the perfect solution for us. > — Marti Sollenger, Operations Manager > **Swiftlane has just made my life easier** Swiftlane has honestly made my life much easier. It's been great because even when I'm traveling or in another state, I can let people in and answer questions. Whether it's a courier, I can let them know where to put something. > — Niki Larrascas, On-Site Program Manager > **Very easy to deploy** Swiftlane was very easy to deploy, I couldn't believe it! Users like the simple onboarding process. I got very positive feedback from the employees working there. > — Richard Chang, Head of Security & Compliance > **Extraordinary system** My overall experience with Swiftlane is nothing short of extraordinary. It allows us to access our building quickly, securely, and with traceability, knowing who is coming and going. This is something that many of the more antiquated systems we previously had were unable to offer. > — Fred, IT Professional > **Support has been great** It provides cost savings and efficiencies by not having to buy key cards or keys. I love the feature of being able to have a guest user call and be let in, and get a visual of who that person is instead of needing to pay for additional security cameras. Support has been great. You get almost instantaneous answers to calls or emails. > — Donald Bowers, Head of Security > **Great system** Originally, the goal was to find something that look and function better, and have a good app. Those were the main success criteria, and Swiftlane definitely meets them. The hands-free control, I believe, was what ultimately convinced me. > — Mike, Director of Production > **The greatest flexibility and affordability** Swiftlane was recently installed after exploring many options for our retail site that is designed to have locked doors with controlled access 24/7. This option appeared to have the greatest flexibility, affordability and the installation team solved numerous pre-existing issues. > — Gary Wells > **Incredibly smooth install process** We just upgraded the building access of the community I manage to Swiftlane and it's been wonderful! The install process was incredibly smooth and the Swiftlane team was always available for any questions I had. We opted to fully go without fobs so that all access to our building was done via their app which has been a lifesaver for the office staff. > — Kala Short > **Seamless entry experience** Great system that gives our building quietly powerful self-tools as well as central admin management. Seamless entry experience. I’m thrilled with it and other people in the building are too. > — Steve White ## Frequently Asked Questions ### Can I manage access card permissions remotely? Yes. Swiftlane's cloud-based platform lets administrators add, modify, or revoke access card permissions from any internet-connected device. ### Can we keep our existing cards when we switch to Swiftlane? In most cases, yes. A quick site check confirms the format your current cards use. If they're a supported format, Swiftlane imports the credentials into the cloud dashboard, and existing cards continue to work at the new readers. ### Do you support long-range readers for garages and gates? Yes. Swiftlane offers long-range readers and transmitters for vehicle gate access, parking garages, and driveway entry points. Long-range readers detect an authorized credential (like a windshield tag) from 10 to 20 feet away, so the gate opens automatically as the vehicle approaches. ### What happens when a card is lost or a resident moves out? Admins can revoke credentials from the Swiftlane dashboard in seconds. The lost card becomes useless immediately. A replacement is issued from the dashboard and ready to use the moment the new card is programmed. ## Get a Free Demo Contact us for a free demo to find the best custom solution for building.
