The Challenge

Control who has access to your facilities

Controlling who can access your premises is essential to maintaining security across your operations in South Africa. Traditional methods, such as relying only on on‑site security officers, can be resource‑intensive and may not provide consistent coverage during off‑peak hours or in unmanned areas.
This can lead to unauthorised access, inconsistent access control procedures and limited visibility of on‑site activity. Without a structured and connected approach, these gaps can increase security risks and impact the safety of people, property and operations.

The efficient way to control access

Using access control technology allows you to securely and safely manage how people enter, move around and exit your premises.

This can be done in several different ways.
Options for managing access on your site include:

  • Issuing proximity cards, tags and fobs
  • Using secure Apps on smartphones
  • Installing audio entry intercom systems to verify visitors at the door
  • Viewing CCTV or fitting video entry systems for enhanced verification
  • Implementing biometric technology including fingerprint and retina scanning
  • Providing contactless exit buttons to minimise contamination and virus spread
