DoorFlow

What DoorFlow does

DoorFlow is a cloud-based access control platform operated by NetNodes Limited, a UK private limited company founded in 2008. The company provides API-first access management software that integrates with a broad range of physical access hardware brands — including HID, Assa Abloy, Axis, Aperio, and ISONAS — enabling organisations to manage credentials, doors, and users through a unified cloud interface. DoorFlow extends to mobile credentials via Apple Wallet and Google Wallet through its PassFlow product, and publishes SDKs in Node.js/TypeScript and Ruby alongside REST APIs and webhooks for developer integration.

The platform serves diverse customer segments including co-working spaces, hotels, gyms, sports clubs, schools and universities, member clubs, and financial institutions. Revenue is generated through usage-based SaaS subscriptions priced on active People, Channels, and Sites, supplemented by hardware sales and professional services. Go-to-market is executed through direct sales, developer self-serve sign-up, a certified installer network, and hardware vendor channel partnerships, with Microsoft Partner status supporting enterprise reach. Operations are UK-based with a US commercial presence indicated by a +1 650 area-code contact.

The strategic posture is that of a hardware-agnostic, integration-led middleware layer targeting buyers who want API programmability and vendor flexibility rather than a single-vendor proprietary stack. Recent activity — including the January 2026 launch of a Node.js SDK and sample application, PassFlow mobile-wallet integration, and US expansion — indicates ongoing investment in developer surface area and geographic footprint.
