Why is access control in offices different?

  • High traffic times. At the start and end of shifts, many offices will have a ‘rush hour‘ of people coming in and out. High footfall is also expected in particular rooms like lunch areas, meeting rooms, and reception at different points of the day.
  • Mixed user profiles. As well as there being different roles and teams among the office employees, you need to accommodate cleaners, contractors, and visitors – with a seamless access experience wherever possible.
  • Multiple access areas. You might have open-plan desks, private offices, server rooms, meeting rooms, car parks, or other buildings – and it all needs to be covered by a secure access control solution.

Our approach: how we keep commercial buildings secure & efficient

Scalable access control

As businesses grow and change, so do your access control needs. That’s why ATRIUM access control supports up to 500 doors and 10,000 users, as well as allowing remote admin login with port forwarding technology.

Flexible user management

Businesses need to accommodate so many different types of users. With up to 1000 access levels and your choice of mixing card, tag, PIN, smartphone, and biometric credentials ATRIUM delivers superior flexibility.

Integration & future-proofing

Integrating with the other systems in your building, such as CCTV, ANPR, intruder alarms, and elevators, is crucial to efficient operation. With ATRIUM, integration is simple, with many off-the-shelf options to keep your building running smoothly.

Access control for single-tenant offices

Your challenge: 

There’s a rush hour at the start and end of each day with bottlenecks at key entryways. You need to ensure server rooms are robustly protected with only limited access. Meanwhile, you need to welcome visitors and customers into a professional and efficient environment.

Our solution: 

A centralised ATRIUM access control platform, with your choice of card, tag, or PIN access for most employees. For the sensitive areas like server rooms, add ievo fingerprint readers for extra security. Your business benefits from tighter security all around the building, as well as a smoother flow of traffic – which saves everybody time.

Manage entry in co-working spaces

Your challenge: 

Multi-tenant premises need to provide access for a huge range of different use cases, such as hot-desking, bookable meeting rooms, and secure private offices. You also might have complicated time schedules, with people arriving and leaving throughout the day.

Our solution: 

ATRIUM’s capacity for different access levels and time zones mean customisation for different users is made simple. Longer-term tenants benefit from swipe cards or tags, while temporary visitors enjoy the flexibility of mobile phone credentials. The more your users can self-serve, the more time and money you save on admin overheads.
