What it is
Kisi is a physical security and space management platform for controlling facility access, users, visitors, and security from a web dashboard and mobile app. Users can unlock doors with the app, while administrators grant or revoke access, manage visitors, review events, and initiate lockdowns. Credentials include mobile apps, smartwatches, Apple Wallet badges, Kisi cards and fobs, third-party NFC and RFID credentials, and QR codes. Temporary visitors can use access links or QR codes without a Kisi account or app, with validity dates set by administrators. Controls include access schedules, device and location restrictions, remote lockdown, and offline unlocking fallbacks. Kisi lists integrations for identity management, video security, workplace management, and fitness or coworking software, including Microsoft Entra ID, Cisco Meraki, Glofox, and OfficeRnD. Its JSON-based open API covers more than 40 resource types. The OSP plan starts at $99/mo for SMBs; hardware and installation may cost extra.
