Standardise & streamline your tech stack – on your terms.

No vendor lock-in means you maintain freedom to choose your own tools, platforms, and partners without being forced into a closed ecosystem or proprietary integrations. essensys products offer open APIs, support integrations with competing platforms, allow data export and portability, and work alongside (not requiring replacement of) existing systems – giving you full control over your tech stack evolution without being trapped in a single vendor’s roadmap or pricing.

An open API (Application Programming Interface) allows essensys products to communicate with any other software system, enabling you to: build custom integrations specific to your business needs, automate workflows between different platforms, create unique member experiences by combining multiple tools, access and analyse data across systems, and future-proof your tech stack by maintaining flexibility to add new tools as needs evolve – without being limited to pre-approved vendor partnerships.

Yes. essensys offers some pre-built integrations with leading flexible workspace and tenant experience software providers, including OfficeRnD. These integrations support workflows such as automated user WiFi provisioning (new users get WiFi access immediately), and bookings and access synchronisation (bookings data flows between platforms and access permissions are automatically granted).

Where pre-built integrations don’t exist, essensys’ open API can be used to create a custom integration.

Yes. essensys Platform is a software-only, hardware-agnostic solution that works with your existing WiFi access points, switches, and network equipment from most major vendors (Cisco, Aruba, Ruckus, Meraki, etc.). This eliminates expensive rip-and-replace projects, enables faster deployment (no hardware procurement and installation delays), and preserves your existing infrastructure investment while adding enterprise capabilities and intelligence.

Yes. elumo can operate as a standalone end-to-end solution (handling all booking and access) or integrate with your existing booking platform to add real-time, tap-to-access capability that traditional systems lack. This integration flexibility allows you to enhance your current system without replacing workflows your team and tenants already use and understand.

elumo also works with most existing electronic locks (such as Maglocks or Strike locks), so if your meeting rooms already have these installed, there’s no need to replace your existing lock setup.

Yes. essensys maintains ISO 9001 (quality management), ISO 27001 (information security management), and SOC 2 Type II (security, availability, confidentiality) certifications. The platform complies with GDPR (data protection for European operations), implements encryption for data in transit and at rest, maintains audit trails of system access and changes, and undergoes regular third-party security assessments – meeting enterprise security requirements and regulatory compliance needs.

Yes. essensys is built for scalability: add new locations to your portfolio through centralised management (no separate instances), provision services and users instantly across all sites (via software), maintain consistent experiences as you grow (standardisation at scale), and manage increasing operational complexity without proportional headcount increases (operational leverage). The platform supports operators from single locations to hundreds of sites globally.

essensys specialises deeply in digital experience (WiFi, space booking, access control, insights, network services) rather than trying to do everything. This allows best-in-class capabilities in our focus areas while integrating with your chosen platforms for CRM, billing, community management, etc. The approach gives you flexibility to select best-of-breed tools for each function while essensys ensures they work together through integrations – versus being locked into one vendor’s vision for every function.
