About

Emergency lockdown workflows allow rapid response during critical events. Brivo's open integration marketplace connects with hundreds of leading technology platforms, spanning HR systems, building automation, identity providers, and more. An active partner program supports resellers and technology partners with training, tools, and revenue-sharing opportunities. Industries served include enterprise, multifamily residential, commercial real estate, health and wellness, manufacturing and logistics, education, financial services, and retail. Brivo also provides ROI, TCO, and revenue calculators to help organizations quantify the value of their security investment.
