Case Study: Ultimo Terraces achieves smartphone-based access and reduced management time with SALTO KS

Ultimo Terraces - Customer Case Study

Ultimo Terraces is a student house‑share operator in Sydney that struggled with a time‑consuming and insecure access system: front doors used keycards and bedrooms used PIN pads, lost cards required a manager to visit and reprogram hardware, and resetting a PIN took about 10 minutes per door. Seeking a better approach, Ultimo Terraces chose SALTO KS (SALTO Key as a Service) to replace the old electronic access control.

SALTO KS implemented a cloud‑based solution with a smartphone key, an online management portal and remote unlock/programming features, while retaining PIN keypads as a backup. The change eliminated on‑site reprogramming and drastically cut access response times (managers can grant entry in seconds), gave owners real‑time oversight of who has access, reduced management overhead, and made the properties more attractive to universities and students.
