4 Reasons Your Business Needs an Access Control System

If you operate a commercial or industrial facility it is important to keep your business safe and secure. Thankfully, access control systems exist! You might not want to pay the extra cost of having an access control system installed, but there are countless benefits that an access control system offers. Keep reading for 4 reasons why your business needs an access control system!

1. Limit Access to the Building  

First and foremost, access control systems are great for limiting access to a building. Keys can easily be copied and fall into the wrong hands if lost, but access control systems don’t work like that. If an employee loses their keycard or FOB they can let security know and the device will be deactivated. In addition, access control systems allow you to deny access during certain hours. If your facility closes at 5 pm, you can ensure that no one gains access after that time.

2. Eliminate the Need for Full Sets of Keys or Master Keys   

Another benefit of having an access control system installed is that it eliminates the need for your employees to carry around large key rings. Instead, you can designate which doors their keycards or FOBs open, so no keys are needed!

3. Improve the Overall Safety of Your Employees and Facility

Access control systems also improve the safety of your facility. It is easy to grant and revoke access to certain doors or even the facility as a whole so if a disgruntled employee is fired, you don’t need to worry about getting all of their keys back or having the entire facility rekeyed. Instead, just remove access in the system and they won’t be able to gain access!

4. Monitor and Track Employee Movements

With access control systems, you can also monitor and track employee movements. If something goes wrong or items start to go missing, you can view which employees have been in that room or section of the facility, which limits who the culprit might be! You can also track employees that are frequently late, which many managers love to
