Contractor Gate Permissions – Time-Bound AI Access for Service Providers
Issue time-limited gate access for maintenance crews, landscapers, contractors, and inspectors by license plate – automatically expires when the service window closes. No codes shared. No manual revocation needed.
How Do Contractors Get Gate Access at Gated Properties?
With Placa.ai, contractor gate access is managed entirely by license plate with configurable time windows. A maintenance crew working on-site Tuesday through Thursday gets a Tuesday-through-Thursday access window. A pest control company scheduled for monthly visits gets a recurring monthly access window. Each permission is tied to the contractor vehicle plate and expires automatically – no codes to share, no access that outlives the service contract.
Property managers create contractor access from the cloud dashboard in seconds – no on-site interaction required. When the contractor vehicle approaches the gate during the authorized window, the plate is recognized and the gate opens. Outside of the window, the gate does not open regardless of how many times the vehicle approaches.
