Multi-site network standardization
Property group · 11 locations
- Challenge
- Each building had a different consumer-grade setup, no failover, and guest traffic sharing the business network.
- What we did
- Standardized routing across all 11 sites with dual-WAN failover, isolated guest networks, and centralized configuration. Added monitoring that also covers building systems such as HVAC and snow-melt controls.

Door access driven by reservations
Short-term rental operator
- Challenge
- Guest door codes were created and removed by hand, which caused late check-ins and stale access.
- What we did
- Built an integration that reads bookings from the property-management system and provisions UniFi Access and smart-lock credentials for the exact stay window, then revokes them automatically.

Per-location security documentation
Multi-location operator
- Challenge
- Staff at each site needed simple instructions for doors and cameras, and generic manuals didn't match their hardware.
- What we did
- Developed tooling that generates branded, location-specific PDF guides for UniFi Access and UniFi Protect from each site's configuration.
