Who can use this feature?
By integrating Gantner readers with SportsNow, you can implement an efficient access control solution in your studio. This system allows you to always know who is in the studio and ensures that only members with valid subscriptions have access. The check-in process is enhanced by badges, which can be quickly and easily assigned to members using an additional reader in keyboard mode. The latest Gantner GT7 devices also support «Reverse QR-Code Check-In» allowing check-in simply by scanning a displayed QR code, without needing a badge.
How does it work?
- Neogate is our preferred integration partner for Gantner products. For more information, visit: https://www.neogate.ch
- With access control, members with a valid pass will receive the appropriate access rights and will automatically be included in the check-in system.
- If the member does not have a valid pass, access will not be allowed and the member will not be checked in.
- Passes and access rights are managed directly in SportsNow.

Good to know
- The only requirement on the part of SportsNow is the Premium ENTERPRISE or the add-on «Integration with Gantner».
- More information on how the check-in system and access control work in general can be found here: Check-in and access control explained
- Time profiles: Access control with Gantner allows you to create time profiles. So you can define on which days and at which times your members get access.

Configuring Gantner devices
The devices can be individually configured with their own mode. Each device can be configured individually/differently. The following check-in modes are available:
- Full: This mode is intended for the entrance where the member is fully checked in. This includes checking the validity of the pass, debiting a credit from the pass and registering a check-in.
- Verify only: In this mode, the member is verified when entering a specific area of the studio without registering a new check-in and without deducting credit. This mode is mainly used to ensure access authorization to certain areas.
- Beverage vending machines: This mode is specially designed for accessing vending machines. Here, only the validity of the pass is checked to ensure that the member is authorized to purchase drinks.
