Add up what access control actually costs an Arizona community in a year: replacement fobs and clickers at $15 to $30 each, gate repairs from failing remotes, staff hours programming credentials and chasing unreturned ones at move-out, and a call box that needs service every summer. At Camelback Cove Apartments in Phoenix, that math turned into $10,000 saved per year and 25+ staff hours saved per month after switching to Gatewise. The credential moved to the resident's phone, and an entire category of expenses moved off the budget.
One platform and one credential, the phone residents already carry, covers every gate, door, and amenity in your Arizona community. No clickers, no codes, no call boxes.
Every fob costs $15 to $30 to replace, and communities replace a lot of them. With Gatewise the credential lives in Apple Wallet or Google Wallet: tap to enter at every gate, door, and amenity, nothing to inventory or reissue, and entry keeps working even on a dead battery.
The shared code that half the Valley knows finally retires. Residents send expiring Visitor Keys by text, complete with arrival notifications and instant revocation, and walk-up guests scan a QR code for a video call with the resident, replacing the directory hardware that gives out on a post every summer.
Arizona's metros keep growing, and 60 percent of renters want to tour after office hours. Self-guided tours grant prospects time-limited access to model units and amenities, log each visit, and expire automatically, so evening demand stops walking to the competitor with longer hours.
Receivers are rated for sustained outdoor use in extreme heat, with no weather-sensitive touchscreens washing out on a west-facing gate post in July. Cellular connectivity plus battery backup carries gates through monsoon storms and summer outages.
It varies by size, but the components are consistent: no credential purchases and replacements (often $15 to $30 each), fewer gate repairs caused by failing remotes, and staff hours recovered from manual provisioning. In Phoenix, Camelback Cove Apartments eliminated keyfobs and keycards entirely and reports about $10,000 saved per year plus 25+ staff hours saved monthly.
Yes. The Management Portal monitors entries in real time and automatically flags suspicious patterns, including likely credential sharing. Your team sees the alert, reviews the log, and can restrict access with one click.
Receivers are rated for sustained outdoor use in high temperatures, with no weather-sensitive touchscreens or components that degrade in direct sun. The hardware performs on a west-facing gate post through an entire Arizona summer, and battery backup keeps gates operational through monsoon-season outages.
The Virtual Call Box replaces physical intercom hardware entirely. Visitors scan a QR code at the gate and video call the resident or your team directly. No directory hardware to maintain, no five-figure intercom replacement quote. See how it works at gatewise.com/guest-access.
With a PMS connection, access deactivates automatically on the lease end date. Without one, a single click in the Management Portal removes all access instantly: gates, doors, amenities, everything. The revocation is logged with timestamps, which matters if questions ever come up later.
Every resident gets a method that fits. Communities can keep PIN entry at gates, voice commands work through Siri and Google Assistant without navigating an app, and the app itself is one screen with big buttons. Gatewise support also walks residents through setup when the office needs backup.
“We had so many gate issues at our properties, we knew we had to try Gatewise. And now, after implementing it at 3 properties, we'll never go back to traditional systems.”
“Everyone here loves it because you can use it from anywhere - you don’t have to be on property to let people in. With gate codes, you can pass that along to a bunch of people, and then all these people have access to the community. Gatewise eliminates that.”
The Camelback Cove Apartment Community in Phoenix, Arizona, is a beautiful, charming, and stylish apartment community offering units ranging from studios to 2 bedroom units, with a fitness center, a pool, and a jacuzzi for those warm summer days, and a thoughtful staff that makes residents feel special.
Independent research tracking 600+ properties over three years proves that Gatewise smart access control dramatically improves resident satisfaction and strengthens lease renewal rates compared to traditional systems.
“I 100% recommend Gatewise. No more remembering codes for every gate! With one app I can access all my sites! Shelly has been so helpful as well! She is responsive & constantly follows up to ensure customers are satisfied!”
“From a security/safety standpoint, we love it as operators because there’s no keypad with codes that have been in the system for 10 years that nobody has ever changed. It really gives us control of our gate system which we haven’t had in a long time.”
Gatewise offers a simple and modern gate entry system that provides residents with a mobile app and managers with a cloud-based management portal.
