Are you a business owner ? Do many of your employees have keys ? If you are a business owner that issues keys to your employees, you understand the struggle that occurs when an employee leaves your company. What if the employee left unexpectedly and did not return the key? What if he or she made copies prior to leaving the company? You may need to change every lock and issue brand new keys, which is often a hassle and a large expense. ATP offers a solution through its managed access control systems.

Access control is very literal term; it allows you to control access to your building . By having a managed access system, authorized individuals can actively manage who can enter which door and at what time. The first step of purchasing an access control system is to schedule a security consultation with an ATP security professional. One of our associates will assess your needs and preferences. Afterwards, ATP will install “ door strikes ” and card readers for every door that will be part of the system. A business owner can compile a list of which users will be issued fobs or cards, what doors they may access, and during what times . These cards that are issued can act as photo ID’s and also payroll cards.

By issuing each employee a card, management can now better control access to their building. Please picture the below scenarios.

– Your maintenance person says they went to the office on Saturday to clean but it is a mess on Monday. You can check the event log to see if he or she actually went to work.

– You are on a beach in the Bahamas and your administrative assistant notifies you that one of your sales people just left to work for a competitor. You can log on through web based software and deactivate the employee’s card.

– One of your employees notifies you that she misplaced her card. You can immediately erase her old one and activate a new one.
