Opening Doors to Safer, Smarter Schools: GTS Alive Group Launches Mobile Access via Alive App Key

Students and teachers across Czechia are stepping into the future - quite literally - with just their mobile phones. GTS Alive Group, through its digital ID solution Alive App, in collaboration with its subsidiary etugate, has introduced a major innovation and feature: the Alive App Key.

This innovation allows users to unlock school doors, access canteens, and even open lockers with a simple tap of their smartphone - no plastic cards required. Currently, over 60 schools in Czechia have adopted this technology, and the rollout is gaining momentum.

“We plan to expand the service to at least 100 schools by the end of this year,”
says Jakub Rozkydal, Managing Director at etugate.

Seamless, Secure, Smart

Using the Alive App Key is simple: students log into the Alive App, activate the App Key function, and hold their phone displaying their ISIC digital ID near the reader. The feature is fully compatible with schools that have installed the ISIC Port access system by etugate.

Beyond the Front Door

What started as a digital access tool is evolving into a multifunctional school utility. The Alive App Key is now being piloted for:

      • Contactless lunch issuance in school canteens
      • Secure locker access for personal belongings

GTS Alive Groups CEO, Matthew East added “This marks a major step in GTS Alive Group’s mission to modernize educational environments while enhancing safety and convenience for students and staff alike”.
