Last verified October 2026
Key differences
- One system: Flexopus books desks, rooms and parking, and connects to smart locks from other vendors, some still in beta. Awaio supplies its own digital locks, lockers and Smart Access Box.
- Doors and gates from the phone: Awaio opens entrances, gates and parking barriers in the same app. Flexopus documents phone opening for Nuki locks only, in beta.
- Support in your language: Flexopus’s help centre is in German and English, and Swedish and Norwegian are not among its app languages. Awaio support answers in English, Swedish and Norwegian.
- Built for shared buildings too: Flexopus runs a separate application for each company. In Awaio, several companies share one building and each manages its own part, while the owner runs shared spaces.
