Access control dealer program: more margin from the sites you already service.
GateStride is a software upgrade you sell on top of the access control your customers already own. No rip-out, no new panels, no re-certification — just a node at the door and two features end-users ask for. It turns your existing customer list into new revenue instead of waiting for the next replacement project.
Where the extra income comes from
Your installed base is the pipeline
Every site you already service runs a system GateStride can upgrade. You don’t need new customers to grow — you need a reason to go back to the ones you have. This is that reason.
Margin on every site
You buy GateStride at partner pricing and set your own price to the customer, so every site you upgrade adds margin on top of the install and your existing service contract.
Keep the account
When a cloud vendor pitches your customer a full rip-and-replace, you can offer the upgrade instead — and keep the site, the service contract and the relationship.
Why it is less work than a replacement
Same customer outcome — phone unlock and a who’s-inside list — for a fraction of the labour, risk and paperwork.
| Rip-and-replace project | GateStride upgrade | |
|---|---|---|
| Hardware | New panels, readers and often locks | Keep everything; add a small node per door |
| Wiring | Pull and re-terminate | No re-wiring |
| Life-safety path | Re-certify, coordinate with the fire marshal | Untouched — stays on the certified system |
| Customer downtime | Doors out of service during cut-over | Existing system keeps running throughout |
| Customer approval | Large capital budget, long sales cycle | Small upgrade decision the owner can make |
| After the job | New warranty and support obligations | Software support from us; you keep the service relationship |
