Detailed Review
Nuki is the smallest-scale product here: the company registered at Münzgrabenstraße 92/4 in Graz (commercial register FN 422826d) sells the Smart Lock through a home section, and a separate business page covers offices, real estate, delivery and mobile care.
Offices and shared spaces use the free Nuki App for employee permissions, while the Nuki Box supports residents in managed buildings.
Nuki Web
Nuki Web is described as professional access management for several devices or users. It allows access permissions for multiple devices at once, an activity log filterable by period or user, and email battery warnings.
It needs the lock to be online through built-in Wi-Fi or a Nuki Bridge.
Credentials
The app turns a phone into a key, with Auto Unlock and Auto Lock options. Keypad and Fob accessories also open the lock without the app, although calibration and first setup need a smartphone with the Nuki App.
Rental automation
Nuki Web with Nuki Smart Hosting automates access for vacation rentals, and smart home systems can be linked.
Limitations to Consider
The pages we read describe no card readers, door controllers, turnstiles or role-based enterprise administration, so Nuki fits a handful of doors rather than a building estate. Business pricing and data hosting were not stated on the pages checked. Nuki Web depends on each lock having an internet connection.
Who Should Use Nuki
Small offices, clubs and rental operators with few doors and informal key holders. For wider estates see Tapkey or SALTO.
