Here's where this stops being about the tenant convenience and starts being about the operations. Remote gate management means whoever is managing your facility can open the gate from anywhere. Think about what that means in practice. Tenant calls at 7 AM on a Saturday. They're at the gate. There's a glitch with the code. Under a keypad-only system, someone has to physically drive to the facility. Under a remote access system, whoever answers the phone could open the gate remotely and they could stay on the line and tell the tenant, hey, don't worry, we're gonna get you out of here on time. That call, that resolution that happens during the call, is what turns a problem into loyalty.
