Still using old access control methods? Not controlling late and simulation workers? Take advantage of the latest technology and make your business processes much easier. A modernised access control system tailored to your needs is the easiest solution.
Access Control System – what is it?
This is a special identification complex that uses:
- access control devices, scanners;
- software;
- personal identifier.
The complex is selected according to need and availability. The main devices are electronic or magnetic locks, code readers, turnstiles, etc. There are various options. The personal identifier shall be adapted to the chosen device. For example, a QR or PIN code, biometric data, card, etc. The readers are linked to the access devices by software: when the person presents, say, a QR code, the lock is unlocked.
How to make the most of modern opportunities?
For even more efficient use of the access control system, it can be linked to time and attendance, accounting, CRM or any of your other applications. This will help you reduce staff workload and human error.
How does it work? Let’s say you link the system to time and attendance:
- the staff member presenting identification is recorded upon arrival;
- Once inside, the daily time attendance begins;
- If the employee leaves for personal business during the working period, the working time will not count. It will only continue when he/she returns.
If you need even tighter controls, additional or different solutions can be found. For example, a scanner can be placed at the entrance to the production hall. Time is not counted from the moment the employee enters the company premises, but from the moment he or she arrives at his or her workplace. It will always be clear when they were late, when they illegally extended their leave and hoped that nobody would notice.
The indoor control system can also be used for security purposes. Access to offices/rooms where valuable information or other assets are stored could be granted to people wearing identification. If special security is needed, a biometric scanner is a good choice.
How to adapt the access system to open spaces, construction sites? We recommend a dedicated app that will be installed on the worker’s phone and linked to your software. When the worker arrives, the system will automatically record his/her coordinates and count the working hours until he/she departs from the coordinates you set.
The access control system can be used for data collection and marketing purposes by integrating it with a customer management application. For example, you can provide privileges and benefits to customers who come to you, record the frequency of their visits, send offers, reminders, etc.
Ideas for service points
It’s a good idea to have an access control system not only in the company office, but also at the point of service. For example, in sports clubs. Customers order the number of visits they want, the duration of the visit and receive a QR code online. Each time he/she arrives, he/she scans the QR code and gets inside. If the time is counted, he or she also presents the code on the way out. This can be used for additional equipment that is charged for, such as a massage chair. An automated system will help you save money.
Private car parks don’t need staff at all. Everything is done by an automated system. There are many options where no human is needed – you just need ideas.
Use the systems to give your employees more creative, interesting jobs. You’ll contribute to their well-being while growing your business. These days, fewer and fewer people want to be a watchman or engage in mechanical activities that can easily be replaced by technology.
Access control is easily customisable:
- for hotels, accommodation;
- sports and leisure spaces;
- service locations;
- public and private institutions, offices;
- for car parks;
- private parks;
