Texas multifamily is drive-up multifamily. Residents live through their car gate, and the daily experience of a community is decided in the ten seconds it takes to get through it. Gatewise turns that moment into a competitive advantage: a resident pulls up, says "Hey Siri, open the car gate," and rolls through while the community next door is still buzzing people in through a broken call box. Behind that experience sits one platform for every gate, amenity door, and model unit across your portfolio, built by a company headquartered in Houston.
One platform and one credential, the phone residents already carry, covers every gate, door, and amenity in your Texas community. No clickers, no codes, no call boxes.
Clickers get lost, fobs wear out, and codes get shared. The phone does not. Residents add their key to Apple Wallet or Google Wallet and tap through the car gate, the pool, and the gym like a contactless payment. No app to launch, and it still works after the battery dies.
Residents text a Visitor Key straight from the app: temporary access, automatic expiration, arrival notifications, instant revocation. Unexpected guests and delivery drivers scan a QR code at the gate and video call the resident directly, so nobody idles behind a broken intercom baking in the Texas sun.
Houston, DFW, Austin, and San Antonio lease year-round, and 60 percent of renters want to tour after business hours. Prospects get time-limited access to model units and amenities, every visit is logged, and credentials expire on their own.
Cellular receivers with battery backup run independently of property power and internet, through triple-digit summers, storm season, and winter grid events. And with no cable run to any gate, the access point a quarter mile from the office is no harder to keep online than the front entrance.
Yes. Gatewise runs on cellular with battery backup, independent of property power and internet. Residents keep getting in during outages, and your team keeps full visibility from the portal on any connected device.
Wallet access keeps working. Residents add their Gatewise credential to Apple Wallet or Google Wallet and tap to enter like a contactless payment. iPhones maintain a power reserve specifically for Wallet, so residents can still tap in for hours after the screen goes dark. No call to the office, no waiting at the gate.
Yes. Residents say "Hey Siri, open the car gate" or use Google Assistant for completely hands-free entry. Access point names are customizable, so commands fit each resident's routine. Voice works through the phone's built-in assistant with nothing extra to install, and it doubles as an accessibility feature.
Prospects schedule through your leasing platform and receive a unique, time-limited access link for the community, model units, and amenity spaces. Access expires automatically when the window closes, and the portal logs exactly when the prospect entered each space, so your leasing team sees which amenities generate interest.
With a PMS connection (Yardi, RealPage, Entrata, ResMan, or Rent Manager), 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. No unreturned fobs to chase.
Gatewise serves communities across the state, including Houston, Dallas-Fort Worth, Austin, San Antonio, and their surrounding metros. Installation completes in hours for small setups and a couple of days for larger systems.
“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.”
Indus Property Management, a first-generation, family-owned company, partnered with Gatewise to implement a unified, cloud-based access control system across their entire portfolio of 38 properties and 10,800 units. The results have been transformative, with reduced costs, improved efficiency, enhanced resident satisfaction, and a scalable platform for future growth.
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.
