With unification trends dominating the security landscape, Acre Security is bringing together its cloud access control, intrusion platform and visitor management platform, and now building onto that as a video platform (together, called One Acre) to deliver a simplified experience for partners. “[With One Acre], our customer base can grow and break the silos and be more operationally efficient,” said Kumar Sokka, CEO, Acre Security. “That’s the big part of our strategy and story in terms of where we’re moving.”

As a conglomerate of multiple acquisitions, Acre is taking large strides to help integrators and partners understand its capabilities. This includes taking steps to enhance its newly launched global Partner Portal by implementing RevCloud. “RevCloud, [which] we’re launching in the first half of the year, [is a way] where [integrators] can do self-quoting, where they can get their pricing, build their own quotes, get those to customers,” Sokka said. This initiative is aimed at making both quoting and ordering faster for partners.

The RevCloud initiative plays into Acre’s newly launched customer portal, where partners can see their tickets, see certain product updates and pricing changes, and, soon, do quotations. “I think it’s a really great way for us to really enhance the relationship with our customer base,” Sokka said.

Furthering its 2025 momentum, in which Acre focused on strengthening its operational foundation, Acre is also preparing to launch a refreshed global Partner Program with clearer goals, stronger alignment and dedicated Market Development Funds for qualified partners. This contributes to Acre’s goal of scaling together. “For us, it’s about investment into our partners. We want to grow together. One of our differentiations, our heartbeats, our heritage is our wide network of integrators and distributors across the world,” Sokka said. “It’s an opportunity for us to invest back into our partners.”

Acre is taking its existing plan in EMEA and APAC and refreshing it for North America. The company is going to roll out new discount structures and new rebate programs. “It’s really about investing in our partners, helping them grow, helping them be more profitable and being there with them to ensure that … [they have] their share in the marketplace,” Sokka said.

As the company continues investing in on-prem platforms, Acre is building tools and products that can help move any of these on-prems to cloud. “We really want to help customers move security forward,” Sokka said. “Technology is moving really fast, so you have to make sure you move in that pace as well.”

Technology will be another key focus for the company heading into 2026. Acre plans to bring its tech stack together (including the Acre Intrusion Connect (AIC) platform, its enterprise-grade TDS Visitor solution and a new Acre video management system) around a unified product vision. By building on resilient solutions, Acre is centering its technology vision around Acre Access Control (AAC), which the company calls the engine of its future growth. AAC is built to scale globally, integrate deeply across ecosystems and support long-term recurring revenue models.

With the introduction of the Acre Bridge device, customers can connect existing controllers and on‑prem systems directly to Acre Access Control (AAC), unlocking cloud‑ready capabilities like mobile credentials and unified remote management. Acre Bridge synchronizes people, devices and events so organizations can modernize at their own pace while running old and new in parallel.

Finally, the company is also in development of Acre Via, an intelligence layer, with a forthcoming research preview of a conversational AI experience designed to simplify how users interact with their security systems. These capabilities are designed to reduce silos, improve outcomes and unlock greater value for partners’ customers.

In 2025, Acre’s One Acre cloud-native platforms delivered double-digit growth across access control, intrusion and identity worldwide. “That momentum is a direct result of your trust, partnership and belief in what we’re building together,” Sokka wrote. “It also reinforces something we know well: when we listen to the market and build side by side with our partners, progress follows.”
