Compounds hand the gate to a security company and assume the process was modernised with it — but the guard still takes a QID, writes in a ledger and telephones the apartment. With the Residential Pass the tenant sends the visitor a pass from their phone, and the guard scans it. Nothing is collected, nobody is called.
A professional security firm at the barrier still inherits a paper book and a drawer of other people's identity cards. Here is what that costs the operator, the tenant and the visitor — and what the Residential Pass does instead.
The problem
Outsourced to a security company. Still run on a ledger.
The compound hands the gate to a professional security firm and assumes the process has been modernised with it. It has not. The firm inherits the same book, the same pen and the same drawer full of other people's identity cards.
With MeetPass
The operator subscribes to the residential package, uploads the tenant list once, and the gate runs on verified digital passes from that day — same guards, a system behind them.
The problem
Visitors hand their QID to a private guard.
A family member visiting for an hour surrenders a government identity document to a private contractor, who keeps it in a drawer until they leave. Nobody signed anything, nothing is controlled, and if the card goes missing there is no record it was ever taken.
With MeetPass
Nothing is collected at the gate. The visitor's identity was verified when the tenant invited them, so the guard scans a QR and waves them through — no documents, no drawer.
The problem
Every visitor costs the tenant a phone call.
Security calls the apartment to confirm each arrival. At eleven at night, for a brother who visits every week, for the third delivery of the day. The tenant stops answering, and the guard starts guessing.
With MeetPass
The tenant issued the pass themselves, so there is nothing to confirm. The gate already knows who is coming, which unit they are for, and who invited them.
The problem
Nobody can say who visited whom.
Three weeks later a question is asked about an incident on a Tuesday evening. The answer is somewhere in a paper book, in handwriting, if the right page was filled in at all.
With MeetPass
Search the dashboard by name, mobile number or date and retrieve the full visitor record — who came, for which unit, who invited them and exactly when they entered and left.
The problem
A VIP compound runs on the same book as everyone else.
Residences that genuinely need controlled access are protected by the same clipboard used at an ordinary building — because that is what the market offers.
With MeetPass
Layered verification, restricted zones, approval rules per unit and a complete immutable audit — deployable on the compound's own infrastructure where the residence requires it.
How it functions
Subscription to search, on one system.
Follow a Residential Pass end to end — from the operator taking on the compound to retrieving a visit months later. Pick any stage; it runs on its own if you leave it alone.
Stage 01 · Subscribe
The operator takes the compound on.
A security company or a real-estate operator subscribes to the residential package for a compound. One account can carry many compounds, each with its own buildings, units, gates and rules.
Subscribed per compound by the security or real-estate operator
Many compounds managed under one operator account
Buildings, units and gates mapped to the real property
Guard, supervisor and management roles set at the start
Stage 02 · Onboard
Upload the tenant list once.
The operator uploads the existing tenant roster — unit by unit — and MeetPass invites each tenant to the app. Move-ins and move-outs are handled from the same place, so the list never drifts from reality.
Bulk upload of the tenant roster against units
Tenants invited and verified automatically
Move-in and move-out handled without re-onboarding the compound
Sub-tenants and family members added under a unit
Stage 03 · Tenant app
The resident holds the gate.
The tenant downloads the app, verifies once, and from then on they are the one who authorises entry to their home — not the guard, and not a phone call at an inconvenient hour.
One verification, then the tenant is trusted for their unit
Household members can be given their own access
Regular guests — family, driver, housekeeper — saved for reuse
The tenant can revoke a pass at any time
Stage 04 · Invite
A pass, sent in seconds.
The tenant sends a visitor pass to whoever is coming — family, a friend, a contractor — straight from the app. The guest gets a signed QR that opens in any browser, so nobody needs to install anything to visit.
Pass sent from the app in a few taps
Delivered by link — the visitor needs no app
Single visit, multi-entry or recurring passes
Co-guests added to the same invitation
Stage 05 · Arrive
Scan. Nothing collected.
At the gate the guard scans the QR and sees who this is, which unit they are visiting and which tenant invited them. No identity document changes hands, and no telephone call is needed to confirm anything.
One scan clears the visitor — no QID, no documents held
The guard sees the unit and the inviting tenant on screen
Attendance marked from the scan itself
Invalid, expired and revoked passes rejected with a reason
Stage 06 · Record
The entry writes itself.
Entry and exit are recorded against the visit as they happen, and the tenant is notified when their guest arrives. What used to be a line of handwriting is now a structured record nobody had to remember to write.
Entry and exit timestamps captured automatically
Tenant notified the moment their visitor is cleared
Vehicles attached through the Car Pass where parking applies
Overstays and unusual patterns surfaced to the supervisor
Stage 07 · Retrieve
Any visitor. Any date.
From the security dashboard, type a name, a mobile number or a date and the whole record comes back — including the identity details captured at invitation, which the guard never had to handle.
Search by visitor name, mobile number, unit or tenant
Retrieve any visit on any date, with entry and exit times
Identity details available to authorised staff only
Exportable reports and a complete immutable audit trail
For security & real-estate operators
Upload the tenant list. The compound is live.
A security company or a real-estate operator subscribes to the residential package for a compound and brings the roster it already maintains. Tenants are invited to the app, units are mapped, and the gate stops running on paper — with the same guards, on the same shift.
Subscribe per compound, with many compounds under one operator account
Bulk-upload the roster you already hold, mapped unit by unit
Tenants invited automatically and verified once
Move-ins and move-outs handled in the dashboard, not by re-onboarding

What changes at the barrier
No QID. No ledger. No phone call upstairs.
The three things that make the traditional gate slow are also the three that make it a liability: holding a stranger's identity document, recording the visit in handwriting, and interrupting a resident to confirm someone they already invited. All three disappear when the tenant issues the pass themselves.

A name or a number, and the whole visit comes back.
The value of a visitor record is not that it was written down — it is that somebody can find it again. Type a visitor's name or mobile number into the security dashboard, or pick a date, and the entry returns in full: the unit, the tenant who invited them, the times they entered and left, and the identity details captured at invitation.

Everything on the pass
What a Residential Pass actually carries.
Grouped by who is using it — the operator running the compound, the tenant inside it, and the security team at the gate.
For the operator
Multi-compound accounts
One security or real-estate company, many compounds — each with its own buildings, units, gates and rules.
Bulk tenant upload
Bring the existing roster in once, mapped unit by unit, instead of registering residents one at a time.
Tenant lifecycle
Move-ins, move-outs and unit changes handled in the dashboard without re-onboarding the compound.
Roles for your staff
Guards, supervisors and management see and do only what their role allows.

Visitor volumes by compound, gate and hour — the evidence behind the service you are contracted to deliver.
For the tenant
Send a pass from the phone
A visitor pass issued in a few taps, delivered as a link the guest opens in any browser.
Regular guests saved

For security and the record

Layered verification, restricted zones, per-unit approval rules and on-premise deployment where the compound requires it.
Immutable audit
Every invitation, scan, entry and exit retained in a record that cannot be quietly edited.
Residential Pass FAQ
What committees and operators ask.
Yes. A resident invites from their phone and the guest receives a pass directly. Per-unit rules decide whether that is enough on its own or whether a second approval from management is required.
Their credential and their guests' standing approvals are revoked from the unit record, and the history stays with the unit for any later review. The next tenant starts clean without the record being lost.
No — and that is usually the main reason operators move. Identity is verified when the visit is requested, so the guard scans a credential instead of collecting and storing documents in a drawer.
Yes. Any visit is retrievable by name, mobile number, unit or date range in seconds, and exportable — which is what a management committee or an investigator actually asks for.
Recurring visitors are saved against the unit and reused, with their own validity window. They are re-authorised rather than re-registered every time, and every entry is still logged individually.
