Kisi is a cloud access control company founded in 2012 in Brooklyn, providing mobile and keyless entry, readers and controllers, visitor management, video surveillance, and space analytics, with more than 500 million square feet secured across over 50 countries.

Its pickleball evidence is a detailed guide, Entry Systems for Pickleball, written by a company co-founder and maintained with a recent update. It frames the operational problem directly: indoor and outdoor courts are appearing everywhere, and operators need to let players in without staffing the door. It then maps the access control stack onto that problem and names PodPlay, a court reservation platform that integrates with Kisi so entry follows the booking.

The underlying product is what a club buys: cloud-managed access with phone credentials, keycards and fobs, readers and controllers for doors and gates, remote unlock, real-time entry logs and alerts, visitor management, video surveillance, and space-utilization analytics.

Fitness and gym facilities are an established Kisi vertical, the closest adjacent market to court clubs.

Demos run through the sales team.
