Electronic door locks or access control systems combine electrified door locking hardware with software to identify who comes through what door, when they are permitted to enter, and when or if a door will be unlocked for visitors. Access control systems are used by HR, safety, security, and reception/visitor management to keep employees, company property, and facilities secure and productive.
Stay in compliance with industry standards and save money
For businesses that have strict security or compliance requirements, or for those who want to be as prepared as possible for any type of security breach, access control systems are a base requirement to do business. However, access control systems also save lots of money for any business. Areas of savings include preventing wage theft, more productive or less required management, reception, and security staff, and savings on insurance.
Protect your assets and deter crime
The most important benefit of access control systems is that they deter and prevent criminals or anyone else not authorized from entering your property at all. From an HR, payroll, and investigative point of view, access reports generated by these systems provide vital information in almost any investigation.
Remote management capabilities
Access control systems can also provide a number of other benefits, such as the ability to remotely monitor and manage credentials and scheduled access to a building, improved energy efficiency, and the ability to customize permissions for individual employees or groups of employees. This is especially important in businesses where sensitive information or products are stored. By limiting physical access, you can reduce the chances of data being leaked or stolen.
Overall, access control systems provide a number of benefits to businesses. By controlling access to areas of the business you can improve security, protect property, and save money.
