Unlock your opportunities with 2N

As we edge closer to the ISDN switch off, it is now more important than ever to maximise the opportunities available to you. Access Control offers huge potential for your business to expand its offering. Gone are the days when people need to be present to answer the door. With 2N you can create a solution that works for your partners, enabling access from anywhere, anytime with an all-IP solution.

Grow Your Opportunities with 2N

  • Expanding access control – Access control doesn’t stop at the front door. More and more partners are working on solutions which can restrict access to specific areas within a business such as server rooms and areas where high value goods are stored. There’s a lot of features that can be added and easily managed through one easy to use, centralised system.
  • Accessing additional features/enriching the experience – Think outside the box. 2N’s devices can be used to maintain employee working hours through an intuitive clocking in/out system or even to create a smart building solution with reporting.
  • Managed services – All of this, of course can bring additional revenue to your business by increasing you offering and tying in a more integrated, future-proof solution which can be remotely managed.

ProVu Named Distributor of the Year 2022

We were ecstatic to be awarded the Distributor of the Year (SMB) award at the Comms Business Awards recently . We’re incredibly proud of our team and wanted to share some of the key achievements which helped us to secure this prestigious gong.

A part of ProVu’s marketing strategy is to enter the various awards that are open to the Comms and IT Channel. As a company that is committed to working and supporting the Channel, we view it as a great way to get our brand out there. The other obvious benefit is that myself and the team get to put our glad rags on and meet and socialise with our customers, our industry friends and hopefully meet poitential new customers too. On occasion we win an award and that makes the whole thing all the sweeter!

2022 has been an extraordinary year for ProVu so far, we have attended 3 award ceremonies and won 4 awards, in my 12 years at the helm of ProVu I cannot ever remember us being this successful before. These awards have been judged by a mixture of judging panels and some by members of the Channel; taking the time to vote for us.

We commit a lot of time and effort into submitting our award entries and clearly, right now we are doing something right and striking a chord with the Channel and the judges. I thought it would be good to share in this blog post some of the things we have been talking about. You might be reading this as a customer, potential customer, a supplier, or even a future employee, whoever you are, let me share with you a snippet of what’s contributed to our success over the last 12 months.

For those who don’t know us, we have been distributing VoIP hardware for 23 years, so we’ve been around a while. We’ve come a long way in our over the years but we still stay true to our company values; our customers, suppliers and our team.

Our Customers

We are constantly raising the bar when it comes to the services we provide to our customers. We know that our partners’ needs and requirements differ between each other. Therefore, we work closely with them to develop the services which add true value to their business.

We have a wide range of additional services that we offer to our customers and over the last 12 months we have supplemented those with the following new services:

  • Hold customer owned stock
  • Secure 0% flexible finance options
  • Develop bespoke API features to enable a seamless integration of systems
  • Design and source bespoke packaging for orders to be shipped in
  • Host a series of new virtual training courses
  • Assist with the design and installation of full-scale solutions
  • Provide remote technical support for complex installs and interoperability testing
  • Take new product sets and brands on-board

+ much more

Since the shift to hybrid working, it has become increasingly important for resellers to be able to maintain their brand through every step of the customer journey. This includes shipping orders in branded packaging, including customer-owned flyers, gifts in parcels and developing unique ordering codes for our customers to let us know what to include in their packages. This personalised approach enables our partners to create the journey they desire.

Our Suppliers

We hold long-standing relationships with many of the world’s leading manufacturers. These relationships have proved invaluable over the last 12 months. The global chip shortage has affected stock levels of many products throughout the world. Through our excellent relationships with our vendor partners, we have not only minimised disruption to our customers but also allowed us to understand the market and how it will be affected .

Our People

I am the biggest fan of the team at ProVu, they work incredibly hard to keep our customers happy, going beyond what is expected without hesitation. They all contribute to the services and performance of the company. Our low churn rate of staff is testament to the environment we have created, the opportunities we provide and their dedication to the Channel and our customers. ProVu customers don’t only get to deal with people who are incredibly knowledgeable, they also get to speak to the same people which is an important contributing factor to the overall experience and the relationships we hold with both our customers and vendor partners.

Despite the challenges the chip shortage and pandemic have caused, our team’s knowledge has enabled our customers to make more informed decisions and ensure a continued supply.

It’s been an amazing year so far and none of it would have been possible without our customers, suppliers and most of all our Team. So to you all, I would like to thank you for your continued support.

Not yet a registered partner? We’re all ears! Get in touch today to discuss how we can support you and your business. Whatever your requirements, we’ve got your back.

Explore what 2N WaveKey can do for you!

Liberate your customers from unnecessary costs with 2N’s WaveKey mobile access control. This simple to deploy method could prove invaluable to your partners with the ability to remotely distribute mobile credentials in just a few clicks.

What’s more, it’s also a more secure option for office environments – people are less likely to share their mobile devices with others to gain access to secure areas, not to mention the unique range of secure algorithms which are able to identify whether a device is being used to gain access or if it’s at rest, or simply passing by.

The 2N Wavekey is quicker and easier to set up than fobs and can be done remotely through the 2N Access Commander*. Once created, simply pair the users’ mobile devices and any 2N Bluetooth Intercom module. With support for 4 different access modes:

  • Card mode
  • Tap in app mode
  • Touch mode
  • Motion mode

We’ve broken down the key features & benefits of this ground-breaking solution for you.

What is it?

Rigorously tested, 2N WaveKey is a unique technology that pairs users personal mobiles to the access control system of a building via a unique pairing PIN and the 2N Mobile Key app. Users can then walk to any access controlled door that they have permission to, which is set by the admin with 2N Access Commander, and enter into the door with one of 4 access modes.

1. Card Mode
Working on both Android and iOS devices, users can present their phone to the Bluetooth reader to gain access. Just like they would with a traditional card with no need to open the phone. The Card mode is best used in installations with a high flow of people passing by such as busy office locations and turnstiles.
2. Tap in the App Mode
Users are able to open doors by tapping a virtual button in the 2N mobile Key app. With users having to open their phone to access the app, this mode is considered to be more secure. Two-factor authentication can be added to include an additional level of security. Ideal for entrances to office buildings and secured areas as well as garages & parking barriers. Anywhere you want to keep secure.
3. Touch Mode
Users are able to simply touch the Bluetooth reader with their hand or elbow, if they are carrying something, without the need to take their phone out of their pocket or purse. If they have authorisation to enter, the door will open. This mode is best for apartment and office buildings but less suitable if there will be lots of people constantly moving or congregating nearby the door.
4. Motion Mode
A fully contactless way to open door. Requiring a camera based intercom which will trigger the authentication process when it detects movement. Camera behaviour setup will be required to make use of this mode – When, how and what you want it to react to. Making passage through doors smooth and effortless. While the convenience of this mode is fantastic, it is not advisable to deploy this mode in busy areas as there is a risk of the door being opened unintentionally by a third party.

Who can set permissions?

The 2N Access Commander Admin can set up accounts so that receptionists, security guards or administrators can generate the unique pairing PIN for staff and guests, as well as set the appropriate permissions for the users. All of which can be done in under 30 seconds.

How does WaveKey work?

Making use of the users’ mobile phone Bluetooth functionality, 2N WaveKey allows users to link to a buildings access control. Once the connected device is in range of a listening 2N intercom that has a Bluetooth module, users can make use of 4 different modes to enter a door, with varying levels of convenience of use and the associated level of security. Users are free to choose the best mode for each door as well as multiple modes for the same door for users to choose their preferred method. Users can rest assured that the smart algorithms used for the 2N WaveKey identify when the pair device that is being used for access is at rest, moving to, past or away from the area they are wanting to access to ensure full security of their restricted areas.
