How CLAS Protects Landowners

In an age where technology is transforming land management and protection, Canadian Land Access Systems (CLAS) has become an essential tool for landowners. This comprehensive platform streamlines land management, bolsters security, and offers clear oversight of property access. Here’s how CLAS helps safeguard Canadian landowners and modernizes property management.

1. Customized Property Access

One of CLAS’s standout features is the ability for landowners to customize how their property is accessed. With this app, landowners can:

• Set limits on the number of guests allowed each day.
• Choose specific activities that are permitted on their property.
• Clearly define property rules to ensure visitors comply with the landowner’s terms.

This level of customization guarantees that land use aligns with the owner’s preferences. Landowners can opt for automatic approval for guests up to your daily limit or manually approve or decline requests. There’s also flexibility to allow auto-approval for just friends and family, even beyond the guest limit. Additionally, landowners can assign multiple managers to help manage guest access requests.

2. Simplified Access Permits

CLAS simplifies the process of handling property access requests, eliminating the need for late-night phone calls or unexpected visitors knocking on the door. Through the app, landowners receive and review access requests, then either accept or decline them. Guests are promptly notified of the decision.

When a guest enters your property, they must Check-In, which includes adding their vehicle’s description and license plate number, offering reassurance that any vehicles on the property are authorized. Guests also must review and agree to the rules and regulations of the property before they enter.

3. Geofencing and Signage

To help with property security, landowners can set up a geofence—a virtual boundary that alerts landowners when CLAS users enter their property. This feature also notifies guests if they are entering the property without a valid booking, reinforcing accountability and proper use of the land.

By signing up and subscribing for just $9.99 per year, landowners can also receive a free sign that guests can scan to check in and out of the property. This helps mark designated entry points and streamlines guest tracking.

4. Safety Measures

Safety is a priority for any property owner, and CLAS provides several automated alerts and notifications to bolster security. Landowners can receive alerts whenever someone enters their property through their geo-fence. Additionally, the app features Community Notifications that enable users to send alerts to other CLAS subscribers within a 25 km radius. These notifications can inform others of potential threats such as poachers, fires, dangerous wildlife, suspicious activities, and crime. This communication tool not only enhances the safety of the property but also fosters a safer community network.

The app also includes an in-app liability form, adding an extra layer of legal protection for landowners.

5. Comprehensive Record-Keeping

Thorough record-keeping is crucial for legal and administrative purposes. CLAS maintains detailed logs of all property visits, including names, dates, and times. This feature ensures landowners have a complete record of who has accessed their land, which is invaluable if disputes or issues arise.

Conclusion

CLAS is more than just a digital tool—it’s an essential platform that empowers landowners to take control of their property management and security. With features such as customizable access, access verification, automated alerts, and comprehensive record-keeping, CLAS helps increase the safety and oversight of private land. By embracing this technology, landowners can efficiently protect their property and navigate modern land access challenges with confidence.
