Prevent crime and the spread of germs with automated entry that employees can access from their smartphones

Many businesses are slowly reintegrating in-person workspaces, which means it’s time to think about how people access your building. For both security and sanitary reasons, touchless access control is a popular feature. Keep your staff safe by knowing exactly who is coming and going, while also reducing the spread of germs by implementing a system that doesn’t require touching at all.

Wave Rather Than Touch

These days, the less we have to touch things, the better. Whether it’s flu season or a global pandemic, preventing the spread of germs is paramount for everyone’s wellbeing. With touchless access control, employees can simply wave their hands in front of an electronic reader that authorizes the request to enter. Employees can use their smartphone’s Bluetooth feature to be recognized by the system, so only designated personnel can enter.

Most conveniently, phones don’t even have to be out to use this system. They just have to be present on the person, such as in a coat pocket or a purse. Touchless access is an innovative way of keeping the building secure and everyone in it safe and healthy.

Apps That Work When Electricity Doesn’t

Keypads that require passcodes can be manipulated, or the key code shared among employees. Key readers can malfunction in the event of a power outage or other electrical problems. But smart apps depend on WiFi, Bluetooth, or cellular data: that’s three separate ways employees can access the building in the event of electrical glitches. Employees are likely to have all three options available on their phones in this technological age. The app can also be opened manually and used to unlock a door by pushing a button. You can test it for yourself at our storefront location in Greeley and learn how these commercial hardware options can improve your business.
