Access Control That Matches How Your Office Actually Works

Yes — that's a core function of the system, not an add-on. Each door in the system can have its own access tier, and each credential can be granted or denied access to any combination of doors. A typical office setup might have: all employees can access the main suite, only IT can access the server room, only managers can access the finance area, and contractors get time-limited access to the main space only. You define these rules during setup and can modify them at any time without a technician visit.

An audit trail is a timestamped log of every access event — which credential, which door, what time. It matters in a few specific situations: an employee is terminated and later claims they weren't in the building on a certain date; equipment goes missing from the server room; an HR incident requires documenting who was present; or your insurance carrier or compliance auditor asks for access records. Most businesses never need it until they do — and at that point, having the log is the difference between resolving the situation quickly and having no evidence at all. The system stores this data locally, not in a third-party cloud.

Yes. The access control software includes a remote unlock function — an authorized admin can trigger a door open from the management interface on any device connected to the office network. For offices that want internet-accessible remote unlock, we can configure that as well. Either way, the remote unlock event is logged just like a credential tap. This eliminates the need to give out physical keys for after-hours access scenarios.

HR or your office admin logs into the access control software, finds the employee's credential, and deactivates it — takes about 30 seconds. The card or fob stops working immediately on every door in the system. You don't need to collect the physical card; even if they kept it, it's inert. This is one of the most important differences between a proper access control system and a key-based setup: termination day can be handled entirely by HR without involving a locksmith or waiting for anyone to return a key.

It depends on your building's system, but in most cases your office-level access control operates independently from the building's lobby system — they're separate layers. Your tenants use the building's credential to get through the lobby, and then your office credential to enter the suite. Some buildings use Wiegand-protocol readers that can integrate with tenant systems; we confirm compatibility during the walkthrough. If integration isn't possible, we design around it — most offices operate their suite access independently without any issue.
