You’re seeing the site for building owners. Fit doors for a living?

The Bolt platform The Bolt platform, for installers

One system. One login. One bill. One system to fit. Nothing to build.

Doors, cameras, and rooms and desks, available now. Building control is in development. All of it designed from day one as one system, not three boxes and an integration project.

Doors, cameras, and rooms and desks, available now; building control in development. One stock list, one app to commission, and no server to build on site.

Bolt wallboard: the whole estate on one screen for a security desk.
The whole estate on one screen. Demo data.

The doors don’t wait for the cloud. Controllers and a cloud. No server to build.

Three pieces, one record. Nothing at the door depends on a live connection. Three pieces, and only one of them goes in the van.

  • Controllers on site

    Each door controller keeps its own copy of the rules. When the broadband drops, doors still open for the right people and lock for the rest. Events catch up when the line comes back.

  • The cloud, in the UK

    One record of the building: people, doors, cameras, rooms and desks. Change a permission once and every door that needs it hears about it.

  • One app, one login

    The office manager, the receptionist and the installer use the same app, each seeing what their role allows. Web on a desk, phone in a pocket.

  • Controllers on site

    Rules live on the controller by the door, so a dropped line isn’t a call-back. Events queue on the controller and catch up when the line returns.

  • No server to build

    The cloud is ours to run, hosted in the UK. Commission with the claim code from the box. No VPN, no firewall holes, nothing to patch on site.

  • One app, one login

    You, the office manager and reception in the same app, each seeing what their role allows. Every site you fit, under one login.

On site, door controllers and the camera recorder connect to the Bolt cloud, hosted in the UK. Building control will connect the same way and is in development. The cloud serves the Bolt app, on web and phone, and your installer, on the same system.

One badge tap. Six things happen.

Other vendors sell these as separate products and leave you to join them up. On Bolt they are the same record. Other vendors make you join these up on site. On Bolt they are the same record, so there’s nothing to integrate.

  1. 1

    Sarah taps her card at the front door.

    The controller checks its own rules. No round trip to the cloud.

  2. 2

    The door unlocks.

    If the broadband is down, this step still happens.

  3. 3

    The event lands in the app.

    Who, which door, when. Kept in the same record as everything else.

  4. 4

    The camera on that door has the moment.

    Look up the event and the footage is beside it.

  5. 5

    Her desk booking checks in.

    Booked a desk for today? Badging in confirms it, so it isn’t released.

  6. 6

    The heating in her zone comes up.

    Building control follows people, not timers.

    In development

One invoice, from one installer. One invoice. You write it.

You license what’s on the wall: doors, cameras, storage. Not the people who log in. Your installer quotes the lot on one line-by-line invoice, and what the quote says is what arrives. No per-seat surcharges, no enterprise tier, no “that’ll be extra, actually”.

Your customer licenses what’s on the wall: doors, cameras, storage. Not the people who log in. You quote the lot on one line-by-line invoice, and every site you fit carries licences that renew.

How licensing works

Deployment

Our UK cloud, or your own servers. Cloud by default. On-premises when the site needs it.

Most buildings run Bolt in our UK cloud: nothing to host, nothing to patch. If your organisation needs everything kept in-house, Bolt can run on a server on your own network instead. Most sites run in the UK cloud. For customers who won’t have their access data leave the building, Bolt can run on a server on their own network, with the same app and the same controllers you fit.

  • Available now

    Bolt cloud

    Hosted in the UK. Updates, backups and monitoring handled by us. Controllers keep working offline either way.

  • On request

    On-premises

    The same Bolt app, run on a server on your network. Your data stays on site. Talk to us about whether it suits your building.

Twenty minutes, on a call. We’ll show doors, cameras and space booking in the same app, then bring in an installer near you for a quote.

We sell through installers. An enquiry from your patch goes to you, not quoted around you.
