Noke

What Noke does

Nokē, a product line within Janus International Group (NYSE: JBI), develops connected smart-entry hardware and a cloud-based access management platform purpose-built for the self-storage industry. The company's offering comprises a layered ecosystem: smart locks (Nokē Infinitē in wired and battery-powered variants and the hardwired Nokē Ion), intelligent keypads (Nokē Screen with graphic display and NokēPad), a smart door operator (Nokē Elevate) for gates and elevators, and an iOS/Android mobile application that issues tenant credentials and delivers real-time activity alerts. A centralized cloud portal allows facility operators to administer access policies and provision tenants, and the platform is designed for native integration with self-storage property management software. The platform is SOC 2 Type II certified and engineered to support alignment with CCPA/CPRA, GDPR, and PIPEDA.

Nokē generates revenue through a combination of smart-lock hardware sales (Infinitē, Ion, Screen, NokēPad, Elevate) and recurring software/subscription services tied to the cloud management portal and mobile application. Hardware is sold directly to self-storage facility operators as part of new construction or retrofit projects, while subscription revenue covers tenant mobile access and operator management capabilities. Pricing is not publicly disclosed and is delivered through custom quotations based on facility size and integration scope.

The company goes to market through an enterprise field-sales motion, leveraging Janus International's regional direct-sales organization to engage self-storage operators across North America. The sales process includes site surveys, solution customization, and installation support, with quotes available via phone or a web form. Marketing is supported by content assets including a podcast, webinars, eBooks, and a resource library, and the company maintains an active social presence on LinkedIn, Facebook, and Instagram. Nokē was founded in 2014 and is led by co-founders David Gengler (CEO) and Cameron Gibbs (COO).
