The door-opening APIs. We can embed them into user applications, so people can open doors without physical credentials. They just click a button in our app, and we use the API to open the door.

The only problem with the solution lies in the area of recurring yearly licenses, for which the solution does not provide any reminders to users stating that they need to renew their licenses.
