Seam

Unified API for cross-brand smart locks

Overview

Seam provides a hardware-agnostic access control platform that unifies management of smart locks and access systems. It offers a centralized dashboard and APIs that let users unlock doors, manage access codes, and issue mobile wallet credentials across many brands. The product works by standardizing common access-control functions through its software layer so developers can build custom workflows and set granular permissions for large organizations. Unlike single-brand solutions, Seam supports a wide range of devices, enabling property managers, security firms, and enterprises to operate fleets of locks across many locations from one place. The company earns subscription fees for platform access plus consulting and support services. Its goal is to simplify and scale secure access management across diverse buildings and brands, reducing complexity for operations teams.
