Secure Entity Recognition Nexus
No keys. No registers. No guesswork. Pick an identity, choose a finish, drag to inspect.
Sereon decides who enters a building, logs every movement with a precise timestamp, drives the electronic locks automatically, and gives operators complete visibility from a single dashboard on their phone.
It runs on a Hardware-enabled SaaS model: pay once for the unit and installation, then subscribe to the platform — dashboard, firmware, alerts and support. The device anchors the relationship; the software compounds.
A modular, three-component system. Each part is configured, upgraded or replaced on its own — the opposite of the rigid, one-function boxes the industry has shipped for twenty years.
Core
The brain. In-house firmware runs authentication, encrypted local storage, networking and lock control. Doors keep working with no internet — no cloud dependency for opening and closing.
Encrypted · on-device · active thermal mgmt to 60°C
Pod
Swap the authentication method without touching the rest of the stack. Connected through a standardised industrial port, matched to the environment and the use case.
Hot-swappable · field-replaceable
Lock
A heavy-duty lock driven directly from the core, taking commands locally. Through a full network outage the door keeps reading the on-device access list. Power-failure behaviour is configurable.
Local command · configurable fail state
Standardised industrial connectivity
Every component mates through dust- and moisture-resistant ports rated for thousands of connect cycles, sourced from standard supply chains. Any technician can replace any part in the field — no proprietary tools, minimal downtime.
One core, a growing library of pods. Match the authentication to the environment — and re-match it later as the building's needs change.
High-volume daily use. Fast, impossible to share.
Fully contactless. Room access the moment a booking confirms.
Tap-and-go for an existing card base, no re-credentialing.
Two independent authentications for vaults, labs, restricted floors.
The app and web dashboard let administrators enrol a resident, revoke access at checkout, set windows, read the movement log for any person or door, and get real-time alerts — with no on-site presence and no technical knowledge.
Access windows set at the device level or per individual, taking effect immediately from a phone — no site visit.
Choose exactly what fires an alert: every entry, failed attempts, curfew breaches, or a device going offline.
Units across different doors, floors or entire properties, managed from a single unified dashboard.
Property owner, warden and security-guard roles — each with the right visibility and permissions.
Magnetic + pogo-pin dock
Standardised, field-replaceable, no vendor lock-in.
The hardware is modular and the software is fully configurable, so the same core serves fundamentally different buildings without a custom build for each.
Every entry and exit logs automatically with no staff at the gate. If a resident isn't back by curfew, the system alerts the warden. The next morning there's a complete timestamped log for every resident and door — not a register someone may or may not have signed. Keys are eliminated: no locksmith calls, no lock changes at checkout, no retained access.
Guest movement, floor and amenity access, and arrival/departure timestamps all flow into one system from the identity collected at check-in. With the facial pod, guests reach their room the moment a booking confirms — no key card, no front-desk interaction.
Attendance fraud becomes structurally impossible — no one signs in for a colleague and no log can be edited after the fact, because each entry is tied to a biometric signature on the device. HR gets exportable, payroll-ready reports. Restricted floors are role-gated and any breach is flagged immediately.
Keyless entry at the main gate, car park and shared amenities, a tamper-proof log of all movement, and instant alerts for anything unusual. For the committee it replaces the guard register with a reliable digital record and credible data in any dispute.
The moment a membership lapses, access is revoked; the moment it renews, access is restored — no staff intervention, no awkward conversations at the door. Trainers get permanent access, members get time-gated access, and the owner sees real-time footfall from their phone.
Guest profiles are created before arrival and removed automatically after checkout. No physical key exchange, no in-person meeting, no risk of a departed guest retaining access — everything managed remotely in under two minutes per booking.
At the top, enterprise biometrics from ESSL and Timewatch demand IT teams and ₹22,000–35,000 entry points. At the bottom, operators still run keys and paper registers. Sereon is the modern infrastructure for everyone in between.
Hardware-enabled SaaS, positioned meaningfully below the ₹22,000–35,000 entry point of comparable enterprise systems from Godrej, ESSL and Timewatch.

Enterprises registered on Udyam — forced record-keeping
Deployment partnership with a multi-property student-housing network in Jaipur. Full system design and build begins.
Prototype assembled and installed at a live hostel. Operational with real residents from day one.
Scaled to 1,500+ residents across 35 buildings — running without interruption.
Incorporated as Sereon Private Limited. Production hardware finalised.
The team
Sereon is built by the engineering team at Permutes — a student-led research and product programme spanning embedded systems, machine learning, robotics, full-stack and scientific research. The team has competed at IIT Bombay Techfest and LNMIIT Plinth, built Sereon while in college, deployed it at a real client under contract, and structured a company from scratch. All IP — source, hardware, firmware, system design — is fully owned by the company.
Full disclosure of the current hardware limitations, each with its mitigation and roadmap.
All installations sit under architectural cover. An IP65-rated weatherproof enclosure is in active development for version-2 hardware.
A 600VA UPS is recommended per installation (₹2,000–2,500 per door). The system retains its last known state through a total blackout and restores immediately on power return.
Sufficient for most Indian conditions with standard ventilation. Fully unventilated enclosures in direct summer sun require shade or airflow — mandated during the initial site survey.
Fully offline devices use a manual technician update. Scheduled over-the-air update management is on the immediate roadmap.
Version 1 is a standalone platform. Full API access for third-party integration is planned for version 2; custom integration is available for larger deployments on request.
We build the infrastructure that should already exist — and ship it into real buildings before anyone calls it the future.
Sereon sits at the intersection of two forces: the formalisation of Indian business under Udyam, which compels strict attendance records, and the deficit in urban student housing, which is driving high-yield private accommodations that need automated access. The hardware creates physical switching costs that protect retention; the software layers high-margin recurring revenue on top. Pricing undercuts legacy enterprise while staying accessible to mid-market operators — in a market projected to reach ₹249.7 billion by 2034, with execution risk already neutralised by a live deployment.
