Detrios

Detrios, LLC, founded in 2016 by Justin Dagen and Jason Higley, operates as a specialized developer of automation software focused on integrated access control solutions. Both founders leveraged their extensive experience, having spent 15 years as customer-facing software engineers at a global access control leader, to establish the firm. Their background involved designing, developing, and supporting custom software integrations for a prestigious client base, including over 90 Fortune 100 companies, as well as entities in higher education, K-12, government, and the military.

The company's core business is the integration and automation of critical business processes related to physical access control systems. It offers consulting services to design comprehensive solutions tailored to specific business goals and develops software that integrates building and business systems. Detrios serves a diverse market, including technology, petro-chemical, pharmaceutical, manufacturing, utilities, and higher education sectors. The business generates revenue through the development of custom integrations and its flagship product, DAX.

DAX is an off-the-shelf software product specifically designed for the higher education market to manage access control challenges. Its primary function is to integrate with event and room scheduling systems, as well as housing management platforms, to automatically manage the locking and unlocking of doors for rooms and buildings. This automation eliminates the need for manual scheduling, thereby enhancing campus safety and security. A notable early success was a 60-room pilot program with Wake Forest University in 2017.

A significant milestone in the company's history was its acquisition by SwiftConnect, which was finalized in late 2022. This merger combined Detrios's expertise in access control integration with SwiftConnect's mobile credential technology. Following the acquisition, Justin Dagen and Jason Higley joined the SwiftConnect management team, and Detrios continues its operations from its headquarters in Rochester, NY, as an operating subsidiary.
