SwiftConnect acquires Trecerdo, expanding its connected access platform

NEW YORK—SwiftConnect, a provider of the connected access network for places and spaces, has announced its acquisition of Trecerdo, a boutique engineering firm known for its embedded software development and hardware-level access control integrations.

Trecerdo's deep expertise in bridging access control platforms with downstream hardware and elevator destination-dispatch systems strengthens SwiftConnect's end-to-end integration capabilities and expands the company's ability to serve complex, multi-layered security environments. Trecerdo also brings its off-the-shelf Ascend elevator solution that connects access control systems with elevator destination-dispatch stacks in any high-rise environment.

“Customers often seek seamless access integration solutions to address specific needs of their buildings, systems, and risk profiles. Our latest acquisition extends SwiftConnect’s ability to solve the toughest physical access challenges across hardware, software, platforms, and devices,” said Chip Kruger, co-CEO, SwiftConnect. “It also deepens our embedded software knowledge and destination-dispatch integration capabilities, accelerating SwiftConnect’s ability to address the heightened market demand for increased elevator security.”

Trecerdo brings decades of experience in the critical hardware-facing layer that integrates downstream devices, controllers, and destination-dispatch systems. Its embedded software development offering will become part of SwiftConnect’s custom solutions portfolio that also includes software-level access control integration capabilities from earlier Detrios and FlitchTech acquisitions. This combined skillset creates a complete custom integration offering by SwiftConnect.

Additionally, the Trecerdo Ascend interface, which is already proven in landmark buildings and major enterprises, will be a product offering in the SwiftConnect connected access platform.
"As forerunners in developing Honeywell’s ProWatch solution as well as early developers of the Mercury Security controller line, Trecerdo’s talented team has built a strong reputation around solving complex hardware integration challenges for enterprises and other organizations for over 20 years,” said Jonathan Lawry, principal of Trecerdo. "Our focus has always been on making disparate hardware systems communicate reliably, which makes joining SwiftConnect the natural next step in our evolution. We look forward to applying our technical depth to their modern connected access platform."

Lawry and his team of veteran developers will join the SwiftConnect custom solutions group, effective immediately.
