Access Control Systems

Why Do I need an Access Control System?

While not every business or facility does need access management, there are many benefits to having one in place and those include:

• Safety - Ensuring that only the correct people on site will always improve safety. You never know a person's intentions and keeping your employees or clients safe should be a top priority.
• Health - COVID has changed the way businesses need to look at things. By managing access you can not only ensure that there's no unnecessary exposure, you can also restrict access to specific persons and keep an active record of who was on site to make for easier contact tracing. If you can be sure that specific employees were not exposed to others, you can avoid having your entire workforce needing to do a costly quarantine.
• Theft - Most businesses have a significant amount of value stored in the equipment, computers, and other items on site. Knowing who's on-site allows you to hold people accountable and ensure that no one intentionally enters to pilfer your investments.
• Security - Sometimes what you want to protect most isn't physical items, but intellectual property. It seems like a movie, but we've heard from our clients of competitors entering a facility to try and access computers, steel documents and even sift through the garbage. If you're in a competitive industry, any information lost can significantly damage your business and benefit your competition.

Access Control Systems aren't for everyone, but if you have a location with something of value or people you want to protect, it's worth considering. We'd recommend getting a free quote to find out how affordable a system for your needs can be.
