Sellox Add-ons

SX-Act was developed because many organizations encounter the same problem: key issuance and authorization requests are handled partly manually and in a fragmented manner via email, Excel, and local agreements. This is time-consuming, error-prone, and makes accountability and audits unnecessarily difficult.

SX-Act digitizes this process: applications, approvals, issuance, and registration become a single managed process with status, history, and archives. It works well in organizations with site managers and multiple branches, but just as well in environments without site managers where, for example, supervisors or managers review applications. The major advantage remains the same: everything is centrally recorded and follows a single workflow.

What it yields:

• less manual processing of applications and approvals

• Clear workflow: who requested, who approved, which key or access was issued, and when.

• demonstrability: complete process trail as substantiation for internal control or audits

• standardization: one way of working across teams and locations

• Centralization: less dependence on mailboxes and local lists

Practical example: an external employee requests access for a period. SX-Act forwards the request to the appropriate responsible party (site manager or supervisor). Upon approval, access is granted according to policy, and everything is recorded, including the end date and any revocation.

SXLink was developed to further utilize CAW events outside of CAW. It works rule-based: you determine in advance which signals receive which follow-up action.

Important point: real-time alerting does not have to stop at “lights on a dashboard”. SXLink forwards events to other systems, ensuring follow-up lands directly in the right place.

Additionally, SXLink can function as an alerting layer. For example, as an addition to a SOC (Security Operations Center) platform, serving as a practical detection and escalation layer for events you want to address immediately. Because it is rule-based, you can flag, correlate, and escalate anomalies based on context.

What it yields:

• automatic forwarding of alarms and events to other platforms

• rules per event type: filtering, enriching, routing

• Easily expandable: start small, add extra connections later

• suitable for control rooms, servers, log platforms, and process applications

• usable for more than access control: event processing and alerting based on IoT and system signals

Example: an access anomaly, such as “door open while alarm is active”, is automatically sent as a notification to the control room. No manual interpretation, but immediate follow-up.

Example 2: server room or rack monitoring. Temperature, humidity, door contact, or unauthorized access events can be handled via the same rules. If thresholds are exceeded or an unexpected event occurs, a notification is automatically sent to the appropriate chain (control room, management team, ticketing) with the relevant context.

SXConnect takes it a step further: like SXLink, it is rule-based on CAW events, but SXConnect can combine those events with other data sources, such as IoT data, and collaborates with enterprise platforms via APIs.

This connects the physical world with digital processes: an event automatically triggers the correct action (notification, ticket, workflow), incorporating context from multiple sources.

What it yields:

• correlation: CAW events + live door status (and expandable with other IoT sensors)

• conditions and context: not only “there was access”, but also “what was the door position”, “by whom”, “under what conditions”

• integrations with third-party platforms via APIs (e.g. ServiceNow, Microsoft Dynamics, Salesforce, Google Cloud)

• rule-based automation: automatic ticket, notification, or workflow upon event

Concrete example: CAW reports “lock operated”. SXConnect compares this with the current door position. If the door is open when it is supposed to be closed, a ServiceNow incident is automatically triggered. This prevents alerts from getting stuck in logs and ensures that management processes actually get running.

Also suitable for “conditional access”: consider security scenarios where access depends on environmental conditions. For example: only grant access when air quality is within the standard. IoT provides the measurement, CAW provides the access policy, and SXConnect orchestrates the logic.

SX-Insight focuses on analysis and management based on CAW data. This involves not only reporting retrospectively, but actively making deviations, trends, and management quality visible so that maintenance and follow-up become more targeted.

SX-Insight is developed as Power BI dashboards so that customers can easily integrate them into their own reporting environment. In addition to dashboards, SX-Insight can also communicate in a targeted manner: notifications (for example, emails) to administrators or users when action is required.

What it yields:

• trend analysis: usage patterns, deviations and risk indicators

• targeted maintenance: identifying recurring failures, unusual usage, or “outliers”

• management quality: insight into adoption, mutation discipline, exceptions

• substantiation: reports that align with internal control and audit questions

Example: anomaly detection regarding access (unusual times, unusual locations, deviant usage patterns) or signals indicating a need for maintenance. This makes management more predictable and better substantiated.

Status: SX-Insight is still under development. The direction is clear: interactive dashboards and actionable insights so that data does not sit idle, but makes management demonstrably smarter.
