SwiftConnect has announced the acquisition of Trecerdo, a firm recognised for its expertise in embedded software development and hardware-level access control integrations.
This strategic move enhances SwiftConnect's capabilities in integrating access control systems with downstream hardware and complex elevator destination-dispatch systems, broadening its reach to address sophisticated security environments.
Integration capabilities strengthened
Trecerdo's skill set, particularly its off-the-shelf Ascend elevator solution, is set to become a key component of SwiftConnect's service offerings. The Ascend system facilitates seamless integration between access control systems and elevator dispatch in high-rise settings, adding a significant tool to SwiftConnect's repertoire.
Chip Kruger, Co-CEO of SwiftConnect, commented, “Customers often seek seamless access integration solutions to address specific needs of their buildings, systems, and risk profiles. Our latest acquisition extends SwiftConnect’s ability to solve the toughest physical access challenges across hardware, software, platforms, and devices.” He further noted the enhancement of the company's software expertise and the ability to meet growing demands for enhanced elevator security.
Expertise in software development
Trecerdo is known for integrating hardware-level systems with downstream and discharge solutions Trecerdo has built a reputation over decades for its ability to integrate critical hardware-facing systems with downstream devices and destination-discharge systems. This proficiency in embedded software development complements SwiftConnect's existing custom solutions portfolio, bolstered by previous acquisitions of Detrios and FlitchTech, thereby creating a comprehensive integration offering for clients.
The Ascend interface, already established in landmark buildings globally, will now be included in SwiftConnect's connected access platform, expanding its product suite and market presence.
Legacy and forward vision
Jonathan Lawry, Principal of Trecerdo, spoke on the company's legacy, stating, "As forerunners in developing Honeywell’s ProWatch solution as well as early developers of the Mercury Security controller line, Trecerdo’s talented team has built a strong reputation around solving complex hardware integration challenges for enterprises and other organisations for over 20 years." He expressed optimism about the collaboration, emphasising the potential of applying their expertise to SwiftConnect's modern platform.
With immediate effect, Lawry and his experienced team will integrate into SwiftConnect's custom solutions group, as the firm continues to push the boundaries in connected access solutions.
SwiftConnect, provider of the connected access network for places and spaces, announced its acquisition of Trecerdo, a boutique engineering firm known for its embedded software development and hardware-level access control integrations.
Trecerdo's deep expertise in bridging access control platforms with downstream hardware and elevator destination-dispatch systems strengthens SwiftConnect's end-to-end integration capabilities and expands the company's ability to serve complex, multi-layered security environments.
Trecerdo also brings its off-the-shelf Ascend elevator solution that connects access control systems with elevator destination-dispatch stacks in any high-rise environment.
