KP-Control System Software
The system control software, KP-Control, is very user friendly and easy to use. All the controls, information and reports are on the home screen. KP-Control interfaces with most popular self-storage management software programs, so no double data entry is needed. All valid users and user activity logs are uploaded/downloaded through the cellular internet connection in real time.
The software includes remote gate control, time zones, access zones, customer status, on site customer display, activity and database reports, real time system status and more. KP-Control can manage up to 2250 tenants with codes up to ten digits long and will automatically update tenant information changes from a third party management software program.
KP-Control software can also manage multiple sites with different user databases from one screen. If your facility has a satellite location with a different set of users, it is simple to differentiate between locations with the 'multiple sites' function, allowing you to choose what location a new user is added to.
KP-Control controls access by time and day of the week (Time Zones) and by user account status. Also included is delayed code activation with auto expiration date (for visitors). If the site has multiple access locations the system can control access by location. Programmable relay activation timers can hold open the gate automatically at times you wish.

RCS Codice! Phone App
Revenue Control Systems Cell-Link access controllers have the optional capability to use our Codice! Phone App to access a facility without entering a code on the keypad unit.
This allows a customer to enter their code via our phone app as they drive up to the gate. The customer will simply download the Codice! app to their device from either the Google Play Store or the Apple App Store. Each facility will have a required activation code to allow access for only that location.
After the activation code has been entered, the customer will see the app home screen for the facility they are storing with. The app will let the customer enter their code and click send when they are in close proximity to the keypad unit, allowing the gate to open. There is no need to enter their code on the physical keypad. We are able to personalize each facility’s app with buttons of your choice such as, allowing the customer to pay their rent, visit the facility website, and more all from the Codice! App.
