Configured for your campus

Start with your university’s rules.

Agree the scope with the people who own the work. Fretbox supports configuration, role-specific training and adoption.

See implementation & support

Bring these to the discussion

  • Gate locations, guard roles and entry/exit policies
  • Device models, interfaces and connectivity
  • Exception handling and warden contact responsibilities
Can we retain our existing access devices?

Your IT team and Fretbox review device compatibility, interfaces and integration scope. Existing infrastructure can be part of the setup where supported; compatibility is confirmed before rollout.
