Compliance-first access governance for multi-unit buildings

Building access, governed properly.
The audit trail your insurer, your committee, and your installer can actually use.

We run the full lifecycle of every fob and mobile credential in your building, from identity verification through to deactivation, with the audit trail that proves duty of care was done. We read your access controller and we never write to it, so nothing we do can lock a resident out.

For installers and operators

Title The problem
Rev A

Most buildings have great hardware and a messy access reality.

In most multi-unit buildings, nobody can tell you who has a fob. Spreadsheets get out of date. Installers leave. Tenants move. Sold lots don't always return their fobs.

30% of buildings have more active credentials than current residents.

For the Owners Corporation, this isn't a tidiness problem. It's a duty of care problem. Under Model Rule 4.1(7) and the Owners Corporations Act 2006 (Vic), and equivalent regimes in NSW, Queensland, and other jurisdictions, the OC has a statutory obligation to control access to common property.

If you can't prove who held a given credential when something went wrong, you may not be able to demonstrate that the obligation was discharged. That gap shows up in denied insurance claims, regulatory findings, and civil liability.

The fix isn't more hardware. The hardware is fine. What's missing is the operations layer on top.

What's missing

A clean, auditable, vendor-independent record of who holds what, who authorised it, and when it should stop.

Not new hardware. Not a different installer. The operations layer between people and your access control system.

Title What Fobmo is
Rev A

The operations layer between people and your access control system.

Fobmo manages the full lifecycle of every fob, mobile credential, and registered key in your building. From identity verification through to deactivation. With an immutable audit trail at every step, and a permanent record of what your access control system actually did.

We're not a hardware vendor. We're not your access control system. We're the missing process and data layer on top of what you already have. Today we read Inner Range Inception. We only ever read it. Fobmo cannot change a setting, a permission or a credential on your controller, so onboarding Fobmo cannot break your access control. Your installer keeps the keys to the panel.

The product comes in two shapes. Govern is what your Owners Corporation subscribes to, and it is available now: the full credential lifecycle, the audit trail, the access-event record, and sign-in for your committee and your manager. Operate is for the installers and facilities firms who run a building's access before the OC engages Fobmo, and it is the one you can sign up for yourself. The two are one product, not two: everything Operate does, Govern does. Govern adds the two records only an Owners Corporation can give us.

Title Lifecycle
Rev A

One simple lifecycle for every credential.

From request to deactivation. Five stops, none skipped, every transition recorded as an event that is never edited or deleted.

  1. Verify the person.

    Government ID and a photo through a trusted verification provider. The verified identity is linked to their role, owner, tenant, agent, or contractor, and the specific lots they're authorised to access.

  2. Check authority and program.

    We confirm the right person has authorised this access, and we record what this lot is authorised for. That record maps onto the permission group your installer has already built on the panel, so the two agree in writing. The programming stays with your installer. We never reach into your controller to change it.

  3. Deliver and activate.

    A fob in the post is marked in transit and is not counted as held by anyone until the recipient confirms it arrived. Same logic as activating a new bank card. Mobile credentials need a successful device enrolment first. Nothing is live in our record while it is in a satchel.

  4. Stay current.

    When lots change ownership, when tenancies end, when fobs are lost, we run the workflow, record the new authority and produce the deactivation request. One deliberate limit: neither your Owners Corporation nor Fobmo can cancel a lot owner's fob. Under Australian strata law the owner has to ask. So we make asking a one-click job for the owner, and we record the day they did it.

  5. Keep the record.

    Every door read, every denied entry, every credential change, appended and never overwritten. Your controller keeps a rolling buffer and then writes over the oldest entries; we poll it overnight and keep what we collect, so the record outlives the buffer. It starts the night you onboard, because nothing older than the buffer exists to collect. A gap after that date is a red flag, not a rounding error.

Title Pricing
Rev A

Two ways in. The same product underneath.

Govern is priced by how many lots your building has, and every Govern building is set up by hand. Operate is for the firms who run a building's access: $19 a month including GST, and you can start it yourself.

For Owners Corporations

Govern. Available now.

The full credential lifecycle, the audit trail, the nightly access-event record, the encrypted nightly archive, compliance reconciliation, and sign-in for your committee and your manager.

Tier Lots Price
Boutique Under 30 $110 / mo
Mid-rise 30 to 99 $175 / mo
High-rise 100 to 299 $250 / mo
Mega 300 or more $350 / mo

We onboard every Govern building by hand: we connect to your controller, read what is on it, and reconcile it against your Owners Corporation's records before anyone signs in. That is a conversation, not a checkout, so the price above is where the conversation starts.

For installers, facilities firms, building managers, integrators

Operate. Sign up yourself.

The $49 tier is set up with you, in a day or two

Everything in the list above, per building, from the night you connect the controller. Priced per building, not per fob and not per resident.

Tier What it adds Price
Operate The mirror, the archive, the event record, compliance $19 / mo
Operate plus Storefront Adds a fob storefront for the building, and 75% of fob retail to you $49 / mo
  • Per building, per month, and both prices include GST
  • Thirty days free on either tier
  • On the $49 tier you keep 75% of fob retail. Fobmo is the merchant of record and settles with you monthly against a statement

The $19 tier is self-serve: sign up, add the building, connect the controller, thirty days free. The $49 tier adds the fob storefront, and we set that one up with you: talk to us and it is running in a day or two.

Sign up for Operate, $19 a month

Govern prices are per building per month. Operate prices include GST. Every Govern building is set up by hand, so Govern starts with a conversation; Operate at $19 is the one you can start yourself.

Title What each price buys
Rev A

One product. Two records only an Owners Corporation can give us.

Operate is not a cut-down Govern. It is the same platform, reading the same controller, keeping the same record. What Govern adds is not a feature we withhold: it is the two facts that are the Owners Corporation's to state, and nobody else's.

How you start

Why those two, and only those two. Who owns a lot, and who the Owners Corporation has authorised to hold a credential, are the Owners Corporation's statements to make. An installer can tell us truthfully who they handed a fob to. They cannot tell us the Owners Corporation approved it, because that is not theirs to say. So we do not let anyone record it on the OC's behalf. When the Owners Corporation subscribes to Govern, those two records unlock and everything already captured stays exactly as it is.
