One of the key tasks for workplace property management teams is managing entries. Legacy systems, based on keyfob or keycard readers, are becoming increasingly redundant. Apart from the lack of convenience, these systems are inadequate in regulating access across a large workplace compound.  

As businesses move to a digital ecosystem, property managers are now increasingly adopting a digital route. ANACITY Business offers a mobile-first approach with a Smart Access system that is designed for modern workspaces. It is user-friendly, efficient, and helps enhance security. 

What is the Smart Access system by ANACITY Business?

The mobile-based Smart Access system by ANACITY Business replaces legacy systems like access cards and key fobs with cloud-based wireless and smartphone tech to authenticate the user’s identity. Deployed at entry points like turnstiles and flapdoors, it connects the employee, staff, or visitor’s mobile phone with the smart reader for quick entries.

Why move to a Smart Access system? 

Here are our five top reasons for switching to Smart Access management:

Mobile-first tech

Today employees expect a mobile-first workspace ecosystem. A recent study found a direct correlation between organisations that supported mobile technology and employee productivity, creativity, satisfaction, and loyalty. In short, a mobile-first access control system creates a more employee-friendly workplace. 

It frees the security teams, including lobby staff, from continually monitoring entries. The digitalisation of the process also removes legacy systems that relied on access cards and keyfobs. Employees no longer have to worry about forgetting their cards or keys at home. Similarly, property management teams don’t have to worry about missing/lost access cards and keys or issuing new ones. 

Reducing lobby wait time

ANANCITY’s Smart Access system removes the usual hassle of manually registering entries. It relies on mobiles – which everyone carries by default – as entry devices instead of an access card or entry slip. Employees and approved visitors can enter the premises by scanning their phones at the entry point. Thus, it eliminates manual intervention, ensuring a smooth and quick entry.

Automating data recording

Legacy systems relied on registers for recording all entries, including guest visits. The Smart Access system automates the process. Every mobile tap is automatically recorded, removing the necessity of manually recording entries. Apart from its efficiency and time-saving, an automated system is also error and tamper-proof. 

Restricting entries

Unlike any other visitor management system, a Smart Access module can be completely shut down when required. It can also be programmed for selected access. In case of an emergency, such as a fire, security teams can immediately leverage this feature to limit any casualties. Similarly, restricted access is essential in ensuring that only authorised personnel are allowed entry.

Remote access

ANACITY’s Smart Access system can be operated remotely, allowing security teams to control entry/exits even when they are not onsite. This can be critical in managing emergencies, streamlining manpower requirements, and strengthening security. 

Open to integration

ANACITY’s Smart Access system is open to integration, making it super flexible and responsive to any specific need. You can create user groups and input schedules to customise access as per role and timings. It can be integrated with onsite fire alarm systems to unlock doors in an emergency.  

Foolproof security 

Smart Access systems strengthen security with features like door interlocking and anti-passback. Create or reconfigure door interlocking settings to tailor accessways. The anti-passback feature prohibits tailgating where more than one person can enter by using the same phone number. Read Smart Security Systems: How ANACITY Business Makes your Workplace Safe & Secure for more details.

The wireless technology empowers security teams to monitor entries in real time. The system also triggers alerts in case of an unauthorised entry or attempted breach. Smart Access, thus plays a vital role in resolving Challenges & Solutions in Workplace Visitor Management.
