Access control: the role of the system in effective management

In today’s dynamic business environment, controlling who has access to sensitive information and valuable assets is crucial. Access control is becoming a pillar of effective business management, playing a key role in protecting resources, increasing operational efficiency and ensuring overall security.

Access control

Why is access control important?

  • Strengthening security. Access control is the first line of defence against unauthorised access. By implementing robust access control systems, businesses can protect confidential data, intellectual property and other important assets. This not only protects the company from external threats, but also reduces the risk of internal breaches.
  • Risk mitigation. Today’s businesses face a wide range of risks, from cyber threats to physical security issues. Access control acts as a proactive tool to mitigate these risks by limiting access to sensitive areas and information. This ensures that only authorised personnel can carry out important tasks, reducing the likelihood of security incidents.
  • Operational efficiency. An efficient system simplifies day-to-day operations by providing seamless access to authorised personnel and preventing unauthorised persons from disrupting workflow. This not only increases overall efficiency, but also reduces the likelihood of errors and delays, making business operations run more smoothly.
  • Ensuring compatibility. Many industries have strict regulatory requirements to protect sensitive information. Access control systems help companies comply with these regulations by enforcing access policies and maintaining an auditable trail of user activity. Ensuring compliance not only avoids legal consequences but also promotes customer and stakeholder confidence.
  • Employee productivity. Access control contributes to a positive working environment by ensuring that employees have the right levels of access to perform their duties. This reduces the frustration associated with unnecessary access restrictions and promotes a more productive and collaborative atmosphere within the organisation.

An access control system is not only a security measure, but also an integral part of effective business management. By protecting assets, reducing risk and promoting operational efficiency, access control enables businesses to confidently meet the challenges of the modern environment. Investing in a comprehensive access control system is a strategic step towards a safe, compliant and prosperous business environment. Unlock the full potential of your business with access control – where control meets success.

Self-service systems and their advantages

How to use self-service technologies effectively?

Want to stay competitive? Afraid of being left behind? Don’t hesitate to keep up with the latest technologies. One of the innovations that is evolving and gaining momentum is self-service. The pandemic period has shown how important it is to adapt. Self-service has become the salvation of the customer service sector. It has also been successfully integrated and popularised worldwide.

Self-service – what is it?

This makes it much quicker and easier to order the services you want. Self-service technology allows you to, for example, book a hotel room, a parking space, a bike, a kayak or a tennis court on your own. All you need to do is use special apps and a QR or PIN code.

One of the biggest breakthroughs in this field has been made by AirB&B, which has enabled thousands of home, room and cottage landlords to sell their services to people around the world. This is done through websites with full information on services and prices, and online locks that allow the customer to access the hotel building and the rented room and unlock the entertainment equipment of their choice, using a QR/PIN code or e-ticket on their phone.

Does your customer really want a direct connection?

Some traditional service providers believe that their customers are used to direct service and communication. But do people really want that? The generation older than 45-50 may still value standardised service. Younger people avoid phone calls and long correspondence. They are used to simplicity and speed – a couple of clicks and the order is done.

According to a global survey by McKinsey & Company, by the end of 2022, 58% of customers worldwide will have used a digital method of communication, compared to only 36% in 2020.

Contactless guest service is rapidly gaining popularity in hotels. So if you have a hotel or room rental business but ignore self-service, you could be missing out on some customers.

 

A 2023 survey by Oracle and Skift showed that both guests and hotels agree that contactless payments are the most convenient. More than 60% of hospitality executives worldwide said that contactless systems for all major service transactions, including check-in/check-out, food and beverage, room keys, spa services and entertainment, will become one of the most popular technologies to be implemented in the next three years. In addition, the self-service model is considered by many respondents to be the most important.

What are the main advantages of self-service technologies?

  1. Speed and efficiency. Modern technology can process information much faster and more accurately than humans, and faster service means shorter waiting times, fewer mistakes and less hassle for guests. Not to mention a faster check-in process.
  2. Reducing costs. We recommend calculating whether it is worth it for you to pay staff for simple, repetitive tasks. Modern, automated service management systems help guests check in independently. This saves time and reduces the need for manpower. By installing additional sensors and integrating them with security systems, you can automate the monitoring of the facility and receive automatic notifications of power or internet outages, plumbing and heating system failures, damage to premises and equipment, unauthorised use, etc.
  3. Convenience. Self-service gives customers more control over their stay, giving them the flexibility to complete tasks themselves, rather than waiting in line or even abandoning services before they arrive.
  4. Better service. By automating basic, repetitive tasks, self-service software frees up staff to provide more meaningful and personalised services. An automated system allows you to schedule the preparation of rooms or equipment for a specific time and control the work of staff.
  5. More income. More advertising channels, automated messages such as the offer of an additional sale or the possibility to pre-order additional services can increase revenue. Self-service software can help you work with your customers: providing discounts for next visits, birthday greetings, preparing promotional campaigns, providing analytical data to improve business efficiency, etc.

Using self-service systems for accommodation

When staying in a hotel or farmhouse, or renting an apartment or holiday home in a nature reserve, guests usually need to hand over the keys and take them back. This is a frustrating process for both customers and service providers.

Want to avoid this process? Use e-locks. They come in many different types and models, but the key feature is that they can be unlocked electronically (with a PIN or QR code, with an e-card or simply by holding your phone), not just with a mechanical key. They can be installed in new buildings or to replace old locks. The most common locks are battery-operated and last 1-2 years. For new buildings or major renovations, a hard-wired power supply system can be installed without the need to replace batteries. An internet connection is required to operate the locks remotely. Additional Bluetooth, WiFi, LoRaWan adapters are used to automatically receive customer orders wirelessly from the reservation system. Fully online locks are also available with a SIM card inside.

If a stronger door is used for the main entrance, then separate electromagnetic dampers controlled by external PIN, QR or card readers are installed. If required, the readers can be equipped with an intercom function, which allows the customer to communicate with a smartphone (app to be installed).

Using self-service systems for entertainment

Are you an entertainment service provider? Do you want to serve your customers as smoothly and quickly as possible? Take advantage of self-service systems. They are ideal for theme parks, tourist attractions, water activities, etc.

 

The systems are easily adaptable to stadiums, tennis courts, basketball courts, saunas, padel tennis and golf courses.

For amusement parks, we recommend a self-service ticket control system integrated into the entrance area. These can be full or half height turnstiles, gates with e-locks controlled by external PIN, QR or card readers. This equipment normally requires electricity and internet access.

Various e-locks are recommended for self-service management of entertainment equipment. The most commonly used locks are battery-operated and can be unlocked not only with a mechanical key, but also electronically (PIN or QR code, e-card or simply by holding the phone). The locks are remotely controlled and require a 5/4G internet connection, Bluetooth, WiFi, LoRaWan technology. This ensures automatic acceptance of customer orders from the reservation system.

Using self-service systems for parking

You would probably agree that in order to provide quality service to customers, it is important to take care of their transport? The reservation system offers you the possibility to book parking and/or charging of your electric car (for an additional fee). You will need to install access control equipment (a barrier or gate) at the place where the service is provided, controlled by PINs, QR code readers or CCTV cameras (which open the barrier automatically on arrival, after you have entered your car number in the booking system). Individual parking reservations are also possible (the mini-barrier is controlled by phone or the customer is issued with a bluetooth identifier).

The self-service system ensures that bicycles and scooters are stored safely in designated areas.

The self-service system can be adapted for disabled persons if required.

Conclusions and recommendations:

  • Modern technology allows the self-service system to be efficiently adapted to the provision of accommodation, entertainment and parking services. In addition, advances in artificial intelligence will further expand the provision of unmanned services.
  • Self-service is more convenient for customers, as they can see available services and times at any time, book them, and arrive at any convenient time. They don’t need to buy equipment and transport it to the venue. Modern digital technology processes information much faster and more accurately than humans, and faster service means shorter waiting times. Fewer mistakes – less hassle.
  • Self-service benefits service providers by creating additional advertising channels, eliminating the need to interact with customers by making reservations and accepting money, greeting them, issuing keys or equipment, and monitoring their return. The simplified process increases revenue and business profitability. It can also save labour costs by reducing the need for labour. Want to automate your business processes more efficiently? Integrate a monitoring system that sends automatic notifications about power or internet outages, plumbing and heating breakdowns, damage to premises and equipment, unauthorised use, etc. By automating tedious tasks, you’ll empower your staff to provide more meaningful and personalised services. Self-service software also serves your customer service (providing discounts for next visits, birthday greetings, preparing promotional campaigns, providing analytical data to improve business efficiency).
  • It is important to consider that the implementation of a self-service system, like any other new technology, may have various nuances (training of employees for the new business model, integration into the business management and accounting system, reliable internet connection), so it is advisable to consult with specialists.

Access control – for efficient business

Still using old access control methods? Not controlling late and simulation workers? Take advantage of the latest technology and make your business processes much easier. A modernised access control system tailored to your needs is the easiest solution.

Access Control System – what is it?

This is a special identification complex that uses:

  • access control devices, scanners;
  • software;
  • personal identifier.

The complex is selected according to need and availability. The main devices are electronic or magnetic locks, code readers, turnstiles, etc. There are various options. The personal identifier shall be adapted to the chosen device. For example, a QR or PIN code, biometric data, card, etc. The readers are linked to the access devices by software: when the person presents, say, a QR code, the lock is unlocked.

How to make the most of modern opportunities?

For even more efficient use of the access control system, it can be linked to time and attendance, accounting, CRM or any of your other applications. This will help you reduce staff workload and human error.

How does it work? Let’s say you link the system to time and attendance:

  • the staff member presenting identification is recorded upon arrival;
  • Once inside, the daily time attendance begins;
  • If the employee leaves for personal business during the working period, the working time will not count. It will only continue when he/she returns.

If you need even tighter controls, additional or different solutions can be found. For example, a scanner can be placed at the entrance to the production hall. Time is not counted from the moment the employee enters the company premises, but from the moment he or she arrives at his or her workplace. It will always be clear when they were late, when they illegally extended their leave and hoped that nobody would notice.

The indoor control system can also be used for security purposes. Access to offices/rooms where valuable information or other assets are stored could be granted to people wearing identification. If special security is needed, a biometric scanner is a good choice.

How to adapt the access system to open spaces, construction sites? We recommend a dedicated app that will be installed on the worker’s phone and linked to your software. When the worker arrives, the system will automatically record his/her coordinates and count the working hours until he/she departs from the coordinates you set.

The access control system can be used for data collection and marketing purposes by integrating it with a customer management application. For example, you can provide privileges and benefits to customers who come to you, record the frequency of their visits, send offers, reminders, etc.

Ideas for service points

It’s a good idea to have an access control system not only in the company office, but also at the point of service. For example, in sports clubs. Customers order the number of visits they want, the duration of the visit and receive a QR code online. Each time he/she arrives, he/she scans the QR code and gets inside. If the time is counted, he or she also presents the code on the way out. This can be used for additional equipment that is charged for, such as a massage chair. An automated system will help you save money.

Private car parks don’t need staff at all. Everything is done by an automated system. There are many options where no human is needed – you just need ideas.

Use the systems to give your employees more creative, interesting jobs. You’ll contribute to their well-being while growing your business. These days, fewer and fewer people want to be a watchman or engage in mechanical activities that can easily be replaced by technology.

Access control is easily customisable:

  • for hotels, accommodation;
  • sports and leisure spaces;
  • service locations;
  • public and private institutions, offices;
  • for car parks;
  • private parks;

Smart parking for business

Smart parking for business

Do you have a car park but can’t control traffic flows? Are you constantly finding spaces occupied? Or do you have ideas for a parking business? Whatever your traffic control objective, there is a modern solution – a parking control system.

Who it’s for:

  • for entry with permits;
  • control of company-owned cars;
  • time attendance management;
  • parking time limits;
  • parking charges;
  • charging for charging electricity;
  • for your other transport control needs.

Parking control

The system can serve basic vehicle control. For example, only company employees and registered visitors are allowed in the car park. This is the simplest option, but the system’s possibilities are much wider. Not only can you allow registered cars into the car park, but you can also control the working hours of employees or at least keep track of company-owned cars. The system will record when an employee has left with a work car and when they have parked it. They will also not be able to pick up the car outside working hours, as the gates or barriers will simply not open.

For the purposes of linking to time attendance, simply capturing the car will not be sufficient, as an employee may successfully exit the site through unfenced spaces after entering the car park. Therefore, you can choose a personal identifier (QR code, mobile app, facial recognition, etc.) that you prefer, which will be used by the employees to enter or leave the premises and thus record the working time.

Another advantage of site control is the distribution of employees’ vehicles by department. This way, everyone has their own space and there’s no need to find someone to blame for who took it.

If you want to control the parking lot of your shop, restaurant, hotel or other establishment, it is a good idea to opt for a timed entry/exit system. If you exceed the permitted parking time, you may be charged. Various solutions are available for even more effective control. For example, the customer has to reserve a space on the app or provide the vehicle details at registration to avoid being charged for parking while using your services.

Controlling transport movements for more efficient business

Every manager’s ambition is to contain costs and improve the efficiency of services. How to do this? Take advantage of the latest technology.

  • You don’t need a parking attendant. A computerised system that monitors the movement and security of cars does the job perfectly.
  • You won’t lose customers who can’t find a parking space because you limit the time or only allow pre-registrations.
  • Delays will not require staff to use the excuse that they couldn’t find a place to park their car.
  • Employees will not use the company car after working hours for their own use.
  • By linking the system to employee access, you not only keep track of when employees enter and leave, but you can also exclude them according to your company’s requirements. For example, if a health certificate has expired, you can exclude them.

There are many different options, so we recommend that you contact Acoris experts to get insights you might not have thought of because you simply didn’t know about these technological possibilities.

Revenue opportunities with a transport control system

As the popularity of electric cars grows, so does the demand for electric charging stations. As a result, more and more companies are installing these stations in their car parks. So why not take the opportunity to increase revenue?

The vehicle control system can be linked to electric charging stations to make the management of cash collection much simpler and more efficient.

If you have a strategically located plot of land, you can successfully adapt it for the installation of a charging car park with electric charging stations.

Maybe you have more business ideas but lack technological solutions? Contact the Acoris team and together we’ll find the most effective options.

Intelligent tools for modern solutions

The best opportunities are offered by special automated programmes tailored to individual customer needs. Wireless connectivity and computer-controlled systems allow expanding the possibilities to customise personal identification tools, sensors/cameras, various barriers and gates, e-payments, etc.

In addition, the system allows you to collect, organise and transfer data to selected applications such as CRM and/or accounting.

What will you choose and how will you improve the efficiency of your business? We’re here to help you. Contact us on +370 630 23304 or email vadyba@acoris.lt and we’ll find solutions together.

New registration system for holidaymakers

Reservation system with automatic check-in

From 1 July, the registration procedure for tourists arriving in Lithuania will change. From now on, guests arriving in the country will be registered in the National Tourism Information System, which will be the responsibility of each accommodation provider. The entrepreneurs themselves are convinced that the changes could bring serious problems with data security, and some of them believe that not all rural tourism farmhouses have internet access. Acoris UAB has a solution: a reservation system with automatic registration of holidaymakers and tourists.

 

How does it work?
As usual, a holidaymaker opens your online reservation system REZERV.LT and searches for free time for his/her rest or entertainment. After selecting the desired time, he/she fills in his/her details as a buyer. Next to the “add guests” button, you can enter as many people as you want. After successful registration, the data is automatically transferred to the PI Travel Lithuania.

No more internet at the homestead, no more rushing to the city to register guests as soon as possible.
