ABLOY BEAT becomes ABLOY CUMULUS: Reflecting where we are today

From a standalone solution to a broad keyless platform

ABLOY BEAT has grown significantly since its launch. What started as an initiative focused on an innovative keyless padlock has grown into a full cloud platform. ABLOY CUMULUS is the name that reflects that reality - new name, same platform.

Built for Integration

The platform now brings together hardware, software, and integration in a single environment, built to work across a wide range of infrastructures. Through modern REST APIs, a high-performance mobile SDK, and compatibility with third-party solutions - from access control systems to partner mobile applications - CUMULUS offers extensive interoperability and the openness needed to support customers through digital transformation.

BEAT represented an important first step. But over time, we built something broader: a platform where hardware, software, and integration coexist to deliver seamless digital continuity and centralized management, designed to scale and to last. The name needed to catch up.

"CUMULUS is not just a new name. It reflects our commitment to support digital transformation through an open, cloud‑native platform that is built to adapt, integrate, and scale over time."

A name aligned with the integrated approach

CUMULUS takes its name from cloud architecture - and from what that model makes possible: a platform that updates automatically, connects readily with other systems, and adapts as environments and needs change. 

Evolving with your needs

Beyond adaptability, CUMULUS reflects our commitment to developing a platform that stays up to date, grounded in the latest technologies and designed to evolve alongside the future needs of our customers.
