Access control: the role of the system in effective management

Posted on

In today’s dynamic business environment, controlling who has access to sensitive information and valuable assets is crucial. Access control is becoming a pillar of effective business management, playing a key role in protecting resources, increasing operational efficiency and ensuring overall security.

Access control

Why is access control important?

  • Strengthening security. Access control is the first line of defence against unauthorised access. By implementing robust access control systems, businesses can protect confidential data, intellectual property and other important assets. This not only protects the company from external threats, but also reduces the risk of internal breaches.
  • Risk mitigation. Today’s businesses face a wide range of risks, from cyber threats to physical security issues. Access control acts as a proactive tool to mitigate these risks by limiting access to sensitive areas and information. This ensures that only authorised personnel can carry out important tasks, reducing the likelihood of security incidents.
  • Operational efficiency. An efficient system simplifies day-to-day operations by providing seamless access to authorised personnel and preventing unauthorised persons from disrupting workflow. This not only increases overall efficiency, but also reduces the likelihood of errors and delays, making business operations run more smoothly.
  • Ensuring compatibility. Many industries have strict regulatory requirements to protect sensitive information. Access control systems help companies comply with these regulations by enforcing access policies and maintaining an auditable trail of user activity. Ensuring compliance not only avoids legal consequences but also promotes customer and stakeholder confidence.
  • Employee productivity. Access control contributes to a positive working environment by ensuring that employees have the right levels of access to perform their duties. This reduces the frustration associated with unnecessary access restrictions and promotes a more productive and collaborative atmosphere within the organisation.

An access control system is not only a security measure, but also an integral part of effective business management. By protecting assets, reducing risk and promoting operational efficiency, access control enables businesses to confidently meet the challenges of the modern environment. Investing in a comprehensive access control system is a strategic step towards a safe, compliant and prosperous business environment. Unlock the full potential of your business with access control – where control meets success.

Access control – for efficient business

Posted on

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;

New registration system for holidaymakers

Posted on

Reservation system with automatic check-in

From 1 July, the registration procedure for tourists arriving in Lithuania will change. From now on, guests arriving in the country will be registered in the National Tourism Information System, which will be the responsibility of each accommodation provider. The entrepreneurs themselves are convinced that the changes could bring serious problems with data security, and some of them believe that not all rural tourism farmhouses have internet access. Acoris UAB has a solution: a reservation system with automatic registration of holidaymakers and tourists.

 

How does it work?
As usual, a holidaymaker opens your online reservation system REZERV.LT and searches for free time for his/her rest or entertainment. After selecting the desired time, he/she fills in his/her details as a buyer. Next to the “add guests” button, you can enter as many people as you want. After successful registration, the data is automatically transferred to the PI Travel Lithuania.

No more internet at the homestead, no more rushing to the city to register guests as soon as possible.

Reservation system – for efficient service automation

Posted on

Reservation system – for efficient service automation

Want to serve your customers quickly and smoothly? Are you looking to reduce staff workloads or even eliminate unprofitable positions? Take advantage of the reservation system. Modern technology and creative solutions help you find modern ways to shorten the customer’s journey from purchase to service.

Reservation system – what is it?

The reservation system is an old method, but it is constantly being modernised. In the old days, to reserve a table in a restaurant, you had to call or even drop in and make an appointment. Reservations were made by correspondence or by phone. Now, not only can you book and pay online via e-banking, but you can also use the service completely independently, without having to meet the reception staff. For example, after confirming the booking, the customer receives a QR code to scan when going to the pool or tennis court.

There are various ways to customise your booking, you just need to choose the right one.

Why an easily customisable booking system?

  • For accommodation services (hotels, motels, private residences, etc.) Possibility to coordinate with tripartite systems (Airbnb, Booking, etc.).
  • Entertainment businesses (leisure and sports grounds, swimming pools, sports equipment, etc.).
  • Service areas (parking, charging for electric cars, etc.).
  • For internal corporate use (access for customers, employees of other departments, private car parks, etc.).

There may be a variety of options, if you don’t find your services on this list, please contact Acoris specialists to discuss.

How does it work?

To get the most out of the reservation system, we recommend matching it with the identification method you choose. We have already mentioned one of the methods – the QR code, which is received by the customer and scanned by a QR reader installed at your service location. But there are many more options. To choose the right one, the needs and psychology of the customer should be taken into account. While the new generation of adults is happy to use the latest identification options, older ones may still be sceptical. So consider whether your target customer would be daunted by a biometric scanning system, such as face or fingerprint recognition. If it would be disturbing, reject it and choose from others based on convenience.

Possible methods of identifying the customer who made the booking:

  • QR code
  • PIN code
  • Card
  • Pendant
  • phone app
  • face, fingerprint scanning

Pendants, cards and other identification devices are suitable for internal company use. For example, for business partners or customers, or for departmental employees who periodically come to the headquarters. Such persons book a meeting, a parking space and use the identification device when they arrive at an agreed time. Face or finger scanning is also very convenient for managing company flows and recording working time.

The QR or PIN code is very convenient for the service sector – leisure, accommodation, some spa services, etc.

What are the benefits of a modernised reservation system?

Today’s world is all about simplicity, efficiency and speed. Especially the younger generation under 35 years of age prefers contactless service. This demand has also been influenced by the pandemic. Some people still follow the precautionary rules, while others have simply enjoyed the changes of this period. Therefore, these customers will prefer a few clicks of a few buttons rather than telephone or email communication. So will you be the one to offer a modern booking method?

The reservation and identification system allows:

  • reducing the number of jobs;
  • reduce waiting times;
  • accelerate sales;
  • protect against human error;
  • shorten the customer’s journey to you;
  • connect data management and accounting systems and reduce workload.

Find out more about the potential benefits in a conversation with Acoris experts.

Additional benefits of the booking system

The goal of every business is to increase sales. A booking system can be combined with your marketing tools to further engage the consumer. For example, integrate the sending of discount codes or special offers upon confirmation of a booking. There are many possibilities, it is important to take advantage of them.

The inevitable future of self-service reservation systems

Posted on

Self-service – make the most of new opportunities

Difficult to manage customer traffic? Do you make mistakes in the service area? Modernise and automate your service processes with a self-service system. You’ll reduce queues, attract more people and increase sales.

Self-service is used in a wide range of sectors – accommodation, leisure, sports, entertainment, catering, manufacturing, education, etc. It can be easily integrated into a company’s internal processes and programmes. The possibilities depend on the need and the breadth of the approach. Simply identify the issue to Acoris’ specialists and you will receive a proposal that suits you.

Self-service options

The pandemic period has prompted a search for contactless service methods to minimise the impact on businesses, economies and people. One of the most convenient methods adopted is the card system, which greatly facilitates the process of getting inside. It can be used for both accommodation services and for internal business use. How does it work? Let’s take an accommodation establishment as an example:

  • The customer receives a PIN code after booking the room and paying the required amount in advance;
  • enter the code on arrival;
  • receives a card;
  • with the card, enters the room;
  • when you leave, return the card to the device.

As you can see, this process no longer requires a human being. Queues and various service misunderstandings are avoided.

This is just one of the modern solutions, and there are many more. For example:

  • A QR code for employees and customers to scan to gain access to a room or service;
  • PIN with or without issuable cards;
  • mobile app;
  • other means of identification.

Whichever option you choose, the aim of a self-service system is to simplify your business processes. Then you can focus more on improving and developing your other activities.

Self-service helps businesses create more privacy and security. Classrooms are not free to roam at will. Each lock can be equipped with a card-scanning system. You can choose to install it for all offices or just according to priority. This way, no unauthorised persons can enter your company or public office. Such a system can even be a great prevention to protect educational establishments from illegal activities.

Self-service for car parks and private properties

Do you manage a car park(s)? Or maybe you rented a campsite by a body of water? You need a vehicle tracking system with an integrated self-service system.

For example, you rent a private, fenced area for campers to settle comfortably, but you don’t want to have to manage the gate or hand over the keys every time. With a self-service system, the customer makes a camping reservation online, pays and receives a QR code, or simply enters the registration number of the car during the booking process, which the system recognises when it arrives and the gate opens.

The same principle applies to parking spaces. Businesses seeking to control parking and keep outsiders out are unlikely to need a charging system; number plate recognition will suffice. A reservation system could also be introduced if you have frequent visits from customers or other departments. In addition, more functions can be integrated.

The charging system can be combined with admission control and seat reservation(s). It can also be linked to electric vehicle charging stations.

Self-service for inventory rental

The rental of bicycles, scooters, boats, rowing boats and other sports and leisure equipment in Lithuania is still in its infancy. Therefore, this is a great business idea in an as yet untapped market. All you need to do is to carefully assess the locations and the needs of the people and provide what they need most.

How does it work? Depending on the inventory you rent, you will need:

  • apps;
  • payment systems;
  • QR code or other identifier;
  • customised locks.

The customer scans the equipment’s QR code with the QR reader app, automatically logs into the payment system, pays and unlocks the equipment. It’s simple and convenient. You don’t need to hire staff for each rental point.

Will you take advantage of these opportunities? Or do you have ideas but don’t know how to apply the self-service system? Contact Acoris specialists now at +370 630 23304, vadyba@acoris.lt.
