The Benefits Of Commercial Card Access

How Commercial Card Access Helps Your Business

No Need To Change Locks
If your business still relies on old-fashioned keys, you likely know the expenses involved when that key is compromised. When a key is lost, the locks need to be replaced, and for some companies, this can mean replacing the entire door. New keys then need to be made and distributed to all employees. This process is inconvenient, expensive, and time consuming. With access cards, if a person loses a card, you simply make that card inactive and issue a new one to a single employee.

Temporary Access
If you have contract workers, temporary employees, clients, visitors, or any other person who needs access to your building for only a brief period, you can issue them a temporary access card. This card will give them access only to the parts of the building they are allowed in during the hours they have permission to be there. Unlike traditional keys, you do not have to fear that they will lose them, keep them, or make a replacement of the key, so you can ensure your building remains secure.

Access Records
Because commercial card access is electronic based, anytime a person uses their card for access it is recorded in the digital system. This lets you see who entered the building at what times. This can help you check that employees are showing up on time, it can let you know who is in the building in case of emergencies, and it can let you look back to see who was in the building if there was an incident that needs investigating. Tracking access records serves as a security function as well as a safety function.

Reduce The Risk Of Crime
Using advanced commercial security systems helps to reduce the risk of theft. Moving away from the traditional lock and key makes your business more secure while letting you see the details of who is coming and going in your building, in what areas, and when. Pairing commercial card access with other security features such as video surveillance can further help to reduce theft and even vandalism. When criminals see indications of advanced commercial security systems, they know your business has taken precautions and isn’t an easy target, making them more likely to leave your property alone.
