If your goal is security, traditional access control is fine. If your goal is revenue from meeting rooms, it isn’t enough. Security tools keep doors locked; elumo makes every valid tap at the door a booked, paid, and unlocked session in under one second. That’s the difference between preventing problems and creating revenue.
The gap: secure doors ≠ monetised rooms.
General access control answers “who can open this door?” Flexible workspace operators and office landlords need more: “who booked, who paid, and should this door open right now?” Traditional stacks split those steps across separate systems, which creates sync delays, room squatting, and missed walk-up demand. elumo unifies it — book + pay + unlock — at the exact moment of intent.
One tap at the door = booking, payment, access.
With elumo, a member taps their phone at the door and the system instantly checks availability, creates the booking, processes payment, and unlocks — all via Apple/Google Wallet, no app required for tap. That removes friction and captures spontaneous “I need a room now” demand that booking apps alone can’t convert.

Squatting eliminated by design.
Because elumo ties physical access to a valid booking in real time, doors simply don’t open for squatters. Operators typically see 100% capture of ad-hoc usage and fewer conflicts at the front desk. That’s measurable revenue recovery, not just better security.
Fast ROI without ripping and replacing.
Most deployments take 2–4 hours per room, work with most existing wired electronic locks, and are typically live within a week. Customers commonly see 3–6 month payback from recovered leakage and net-new spontaneous bookings.

Keep your stack — elumo complements it.
Already use OfficeRnD, HqO, or another booking platform or app? Keep it. elumo integrates via open API, along with some pre-built integrations, adds tap-to-book at the door, validates access in real time, and leaves your scheduled bookings workflow intact. It also co-exists with building-wide access control systems like Salto/HID/Brivo/Kisi for perimeter doors — use the right tool at each layer.
In summary.
Traditional access control keeps rooms secure. elumo turns rooms into revenue — closing the last-mile gap between intent and transaction at the door. If your KPIs are more bookings, zero squatting, and a 3–6 month payback, elumo is built for exactly that.
