Experience Peace of Mind with Today’s Access Control Systems
Manage Who Has Access to Your Business and Secure Areas Effortlessly
There was a time when door locks were the only protection business owners had to safeguard their establishments. Fortunately, those times have changed. Today's access control systems offer the first line of defense, enabling you and your team to allow or deny access at a moment's notice and from anywhere in the world.
Of course, these systems are designed for much more than protecting staff, customers, and assets. They also protect your business from employee theft, allow easy access for vendors who arrive at odd times, and provide peace of mind when you're away.
Let's explore their many benefits and how they're supporting businesses in St. Louis, MO.
Immediate Access Given or Revoked
Keeping track of keys has always been painful for businesses. If one disgruntled employee decides not to return their key when they leave or are fired, you're left changing locks, yet again. An access control system changes that. Now, you or your administrators can deny their access immediately via the online platform with just a few clicks.
You're left knowing your business is secure no matter where you are, even if your administrators left early on a Friday. And, should a vendor arrive late, you can unlock the door right from your smartphone and lock your business back up after they leave.
Limiting Access to Areas in Your Business
Every business has secure areas that are off-limits to certain employees. This may be the office, supply room, or areas with essential servers. An access control system lets you establish those boundaries by allowing access only to a chosen few and limiting their permissions based on their role. You can also restrict it to certain times, ensuring employees are in designated areas only when they need to be.
Obtaining Reports for Additional Insight
Scheduled reports can show you what time employees are arriving and leaving. Is your business opening at the time it should? Is there a regular employee who's staying late? While we want to think the best of our employees and that they're staying later because of their work ethic, sometimes it's because they want access to your business when no one else is there. If you have security cameras, you can quickly check on their intentions.
You'll also receive smartphone alerts should someone without the proper credentials attempt to gain entry or if the last employee to leave forgot to lock the door. With one tap, you can lock the doors and know your business is secure.
