Acre Security has announced a comprehensive update to its access control platform, Access It! 13.0, focusing on enhancing user interface and user experience.
This update aims to deliver a more efficient and intuitive environment for security operators and administrators who utilise the platform for on-premises access control. Both desktop and web clients will benefit from a cleaner and faster interface, while maintaining the core platform identity and workflows.
Platform enhancements
The refresh is tailored to the needs of day-to-day users of Access It! The updated platform features revised layouts, a clearer visual hierarchy, modernised tables and icons, and a cohesive design to facilitate information retrieval and action prioritization.
Improvements to records and credential management include a streamlined credential grid and enhanced sorting and filtering capabilities. Users can now employ per-column filters, search tools, Boolean logic, and drag-and-drop functions to arrange information efficiently. Furthermore, the new System Insights view offers real-time alerts, key counts, and system health assessments in a unified dashboard for an at-a-glance overview.
Security and efficiency
The updates continue Acre's commitment to Access It! as a versatile on-premises access control solution
"This refresh is about making Access It! easier and faster to use while protecting what customers already value about the platform," stated Kumar Sokka, CEO of Acre Security. "Security teams should not have to choose between a modern experience and the workflows they know. With Access It! 13.0, they gain both, backed by the services and support to help them get more from their investment over time."
The updates continue Acre's commitment to Access It! as a versatile on-premises access control solution. By preserving familiar workflows, current users can enjoy a more modern experience with minimal disruption and retraining. For systems integrators and VAR partners, the new release offers an enhanced experience and clear opportunities to help customers maximise the value of their access control investments.
Support and training
Access It! is supported by Acre Solutions, the company’s services division, providing guidance from initial evaluation through to regular usage. Organisations can begin with a migration readiness workshop and use dedicated services for a smooth transition. Current users are encouraged to utilise Acre Care and Acre Care Pro, alongside ongoing training and certification programmes. These comprehensive resources support customers throughout the planning, migration, and operational processes.
The updated platform was first introduced at the Access Austin event on 31 August. Acre Security will feature Access It! 13.0 at booth #4170 during the GSX event in Atlanta, from 14–16 September 2026.
