Who we help

IT leaders, fitness center operators, platform teams, and security owners with high stakes.

IT & Ops Leaders

Need predictable delivery, compliance-ready controls, and clarity on spend.

Fitness Centers

Need reliable turnstile, RFID, and NFC access solutions that scale across locations.

Security & Compliance

Seek zero trust alignment, SIEM efficacy, and actionable signals over noise.

Fitness Access Control

Quebec-built IoT + turnstile integration with VTAP.

We design and run end-to-end access control for gyms: VTAP readers, RFID/NFC procurement, mobile wallet onboarding, and direct API handoffs to your CRM partner.

VTAP RFID Mobile Wallet Turnstiles
Device orchestration

Raspberry Pi + multi-VTAP control.

  • Edge host drives several VTAP readers and your access-control turnstile.
  • On token receipt, events are pushed to the CRM API in real time.
  • Health checks and service restarts keep readers, API, and sockets active.
Member experience

RFID, NFC, and wallet-ready passes.

  • RFID tag procurement and encoding with your branding.
  • Apple/Google Wallet onboarding plus CRM-based entitlement updates.
  • Offline-safe behavior with configurable allow/deny windows.
Operations

French/English command center.

  • Bilingual dashboard for reader state, API connectivity, and socket health.
  • One-click turnstile unlock timers and safe service reboot controls.
  • Delivered by our Quebec team in partnership with a dedicated CRM provider.

Example setup: Raspberry Pi connected to multiple VTAP devices and an access-control turnstile. When a token is read, it is sent to the CRM API to validate access and unlock.
