"Smartair Genesis complements the locksmith's existing mechanical key business and allows them to enter access control sales without breaking the bank. No specialist electrical or electronics knowledge is needed,” says Ian Compton, International Sales Director at Tesa.

The programme launch covers training where locksmiths learn how to conduct an initial site survey, order equipment, and install and commission the correct access control products in the most efficient way.

Alongside technical training, locksmiths learn key reseller skills, including how to generate leads for their new product offering, how to convince an organisation's decision makers, and how to convert existing mechanical customers to Smartair wireless access control.

The Smartair Genesis system is the perfect match for small facilities as it is easy-to-install and, more importantly, affordable. Based on the "update on card” offering, the system allows organisations to secure and manage up to 30 doors in a wireless electronic access system.
