A card access system provides businesses with a highly secure, efficient, and flexible way to control entry to their premises. Unlike traditional locks and keys, card access uses encrypted credentials such as proximity cards, key fobs, or mobile credentials to grant or deny entry at specific doors. This eliminates the vulnerability of easily copied keys and ensures that only authorized personnel can enter restricted areas, enhancing overall door security. Access permissions can be customized for each user, allowing different levels of access for staff, managers, and contractors—keeping sensitive areas protected at all times.

One significant advantage of a card access system is its ability to assist with employee mustering in the event of an emergency. The system automatically records who has entered or exited the building, allowing managers or emergency personnel to quickly determine which employees are still inside and ensure everyone is accounted for. This feature adds a vital layer of safety and improves emergency response procedures.

Card access systems also support attendance tracking, providing accurate logs of when employees arrive and leave. This data can be useful for payroll verification, overtime management, and productivity analysis. Because the system operates automatically, it removes the guesswork and reduces the potential for disputes about hours worked.

Another key benefit is the elimination of physical keys. When an employee leaves the company or a card is lost, it can be easily deleted, suspended, or replaced within the system—no expensive rekeying of locks is required. This not only saves time and money but also prevents security risks associated with lost or stolen keys. Adding new users is just as simple, with proximity cards able to be programmed and activated instantly.
