VARCO

The SIA-aligned door-list, BOM and lifecycle platform for Swiss system integrators.

One tool that takes a security planner from the first door sketch to the acceptance report — with the SALTO and GANTNER catalogues loaded, the Swiss standards enforced, and the bid document already drafted.

Platform

One library for the hardware you actually specify

SALTO and GANTNER are loaded from the catalogue. Escape-door terminals, EN 179/1125 panic fittings, magnetic hold-opens, bolt-switch contacts and custom items are first-class entries — not afterthoughts.

Workflow

Anchored in SIA 31 – 53

Each SIA phase writes the right artifact into the project. Doors, hardware, cables, schematics and tender text all stay in lockstep from the outline meeting to the acceptance walk.

  1. Phase 31
    Project outline
    Door list seed, client constraints. SIA 31 → initial door schedule and end-state matrix per area.
  2. Phase 32
    Concept design
    Hardware selection across SALTO and GANTNER families. Locking hierarchy, escape-door routing.
  3. Phase 33
    Project design
    Principle schematic, cable topology, reader and panic fitting per door. Tender drafting inputs.
  4. Phase 41
    Tender
    NPK/CRB tender output. Partner price lists applied per lot. Bid documents export.
  5. Phase 51
    Execution
    Mounting steps handed to the site. Survey and acceptance pushed through the mobile app.
  6. Phase 52
    Acceptance
    Door-by-door punch list. Compliance checks re-run against VKF, EN 179/1125, SN EN 13637, BehiG, revDSG.

Compliance

Automatic checks before the document leaves the building

Every door in the list is cross-checked against the Swiss and EN standards relevant to its function. Issues surface as a standing punch list, not a late email from the reviewer.

Outputs

Documents that hand into BIM and bid packages

The platform writes the artifacts downstream teams are waiting on, not a separate PDF that needs to be re-typed into the bid.

Principle schematics
One schematic per locking hierarchy zone — controlled doors, escape-door routes, and intruder/fire-alarm tie-in.
Terminal and cable lists
Terminal-by-terminal and run-by-run lists. Each row carries the matching device, the conductor, and the controller.
NPK / CRB tender output
NPK chapters mapped from the door list. CRB-aligned bid text drops straight into Swiss tender packages.
IFC / Revit hand-off
Door lists and acceptance reports that lose nothing in the transition between security planning and BIM.

Channel

Built for the partner-channel way the Swiss market actually moves

Roughly 80% of SALTO and GANTNER volume flows through Systemintegratoren. Architects, general contractors and facility managers stay contributory — they see what they need and sign off without re-typing a thing.

  • Multi-tenant roles for planner, integrator, architect, GC and facility manager
  • Partner price lists applied per lot, per Systemintegrator
  • White-label skin so each partner ships VARCO under their own brand
  • Distributor contracts honored without a manual rework
Tenants on one platform
Each Systemintegrator carries their own catalogue overrides, logo, and price book — without forking a new instance.

Site, without signal
offline
Surveys, mounting steps and punch-list acceptance stay on the site laptop or phone, then reconcile cleanly when the link comes back.

Acceptance

Per-door punch list; signed entries return as PDF
