Case Studies Plexpod Flashcube Access Control March 27, 2026 Innovative coworking space with hundreds of flexible members required 24/7 keyless access, tiered member permissions, and community-wide security — all managed without a front desk. ## Project Overview Plexpod's Flashcube location is one of Kansas City's most distinctive coworking environments serving hundreds of members ranging from solo entrepreneurs to enterprise teams. Watchmen Security was selected to design and deploy an access control and surveillance system that could match the flexibility of Plexpod's membership model. ## The Challenges Dynamic Membership Management: Coworking spaces have highly fluid member populations — access permissions must reflect membership tier without manual credential management overhead. 24/7 Access: Many members work outside traditional business hours. The system needed to support 24/7 access for qualified members while restricting after-hours access for day-pass users. Zone-Based Access Tiering: Private offices, dedicated desks, conference rooms, and open coworking areas all require different access permissions. Community Feel: The security approach needed to feel welcoming and frictionless rather than institutional. ## Solutions Implemented Brivo Cloud Access Control: Mobile-first access deployed at all entries, private office corridors, and conference rooms. Membership tier is mapped directly to Brivo access groups — when a member upgrades or downgrades, permissions update instantly. Eagle Eye Cloud Video Surveillance: Coverage throughout common areas, building entries, parking, and shared amenity spaces. Visitor Management Integration: Members grant temporary access to clients and guests via the Brivo app — no front desk required. Conference Room Access Control: Rooms are controlled through Brivo, with access tied to reservations — preventing unauthorized use. ## Results & Impact - 100% keyless operation — no physical keys or fobs in the building - Instant membership tier changes reflected in access permissions with zero lag - Front desk overhead reduced — members manage their own guest access via app - After-hours access incidents eliminated through automated time-based restrictions ## Ready for a Similar Assessment?
