As buildings increasingly integrate technology, upgraded access management enhances property safety, tenant satisfaction, and operational efficiency – making Access an Amenity for your building!
Enhancing Convenience and Security
Modern access control systems create a more convenient environment for residents and improve overall security. The era of traditional locks and keys is fading, as these can easily be lost or stolen. Contemporary solutions—such as mobile access and keyless entry—provide a more efficient way for staff, tenants, and guests to enter buildings/properties and for property managers to manage access.
A commercial property could implement mobile access solutions that streamline access by eliminating the need for physical keys/cards while enabling property managers to adjust permissions quickly. For example, access can be revoked in real-time for an employee who leaves the company or a tenant whose lease runs out.
Integrate functionalities like audit trails to track who accesses specific areas and when. This capability is especially important in environments like schools or financial institutions, but it also serves a purpose in multi-dwelling units. By offering residents and management a secure and convenient experience, access control becomes a further amenity to promote to prospective tenants.
Flexibility for Diverse Commercial Environments
Modern access control systems are versatile and suit a wide range of commercial environments. Whether managing multi-family residences, educational institutions, or corporate offices, these solutions can adapt to various security needs.
In a multi-family residential setting, access control can streamline entry for residents while restricting access to shared amenities such as fitness centers or swimming pools. With fobs, proximity cards, or mobile access, residents enjoy hassle-free access without compromising security. Property managers can also monitor compliance with safety regulations by controlling entry for contractors and unmonitored service personnel.
In an office setting, flexible access control solutions permit varying security measures for different departments. Employees can access their designated floors, while access to sensitive financial departments remains restricted to key personnel. This arrangement enhances workplace security and boosts productivity by allowing employees to navigate freely without delays.
Biometric Access

The most commonly used biometric scanners in access control systems are facial and fingerprint recognition. These frictionless solutions leverage technology to ensure convenient and reliable access in corporate offices, government premises, luxury condominiums, or large public venues. Biometrics are by far the most convenient and reliable means to identify and authenticate individuals.
Cloud-Based Systems
