Visitor passes on WhatsApp: a calmer gatehouse

How one-time access codes sent on WhatsApp cut gate queues, reduce calls to residents and give your security team a record they can trust.

The gatehouse is where an estate's reputation is made. Long queues, guards calling residents to confirm every guest, and handwritten logbooks nobody can search: none of it makes the estate safer, and all of it makes residents and visitors frustrated.

How a code-based pass works

  • The resident creates a pass for their guest and shares it on WhatsApp.
  • The guest shows the code at the gate.
  • The guard checks it on a phone, sees who the host is, and logs the entry in one tap.
  • The resident gets a message when their guest arrives.

What changes for your guards

Guards spend less time on the phone and more time watching the gate. Every entry is timestamped and searchable, so when something does go wrong, the estate has an accurate record instead of a smudged notebook page.

No new hardware

Passes run on the phones your residents and guards already carry. There are no turnstiles or card readers to buy, and nothing to break when the power goes out.

How BreeUp helps

With BreeUp's visitor passes add-on, residents create a pass in their portal and send the visitor a six-digit code on WhatsApp. Guards open the estate's gate link on their own phone, sign in with their own PIN and check the code.

Every entry is logged with the time, and so are refused attempts and the reason, so the estate has a record without a paper logbook.

Guards stay in control of the gate. A code tells them who's expected. Their judgement still decides who comes in.
