What Munily does
There are three key roles among a community: The security Guard The resident The administrator When a visitor tries to access a designated community, the security guard must require an ID previously to allow entry. He proceeds to communicate with a specific resident through a intercom which is almost always broken or under repair, delaying the visitor’s entry to the compound WE come in, by interconnecting the security guard with the resident and the administrators through an app and a tablet we provide to make all the process of access pretty smooth and easy. When a visitor comes in, the security guard must only: Take a picture of its ID, using the tablet, Select the apartment, so the resident receives a pop up notification through which they can deny or approve the access. Last but not least, An even easier way has been developed by Munily which utilizes QR codes generated through Whatsapp. Which visitors just show and security guards scan to allow entry.

Access control app for Latam gated communities
We built an app and tablet system connecting security guards, residents, and administrators in gated communities. Guards snap a visitor's ID photo on the tablet, select the resident, who then approves or denies access via notification. We've also created a QR code system through WhatsApp for faster visitor entry.
We live in Panama City, Panama and the company is based there with some remote team members. After YC, we plan to remain based in Panama City.
We chose Panama City because that's where the problem is most urgent. We have direct access to gated communities here, and our early users and team are from this region. Staying local keeps us close to the market we serve.
