This device is specifically designed so that you canmanage entries and exits within your company. This way, you have a precise idea of the number of people present and their identities. There are many products that allow you to control access, the simplest being of course the classic readers that are installed at building entrances. However, badge readers are increasingly popular for their ease of use and simple installation.

Badge readers are indeed particularly easy-to-use devices. Each of your employees simply needs to be equipped with a badge and a card showing their identity, sometimes with a photo. They just need to present their badge to the control device for access to be granted. This system therefore ensures them optimal security and peace of mind when they are present in your company.

What are the advantages of this type of device?

The advantages for your company are numerous. The badge access control system allows you to:

  • allow access to your premises only to authorized persons

  • help your employees feel safer

  • limit the risks of intrusion, theft, and vandalismcommitted by outsiders

Certain studies indicate that 48% of employees want their employers to strengthen the security of their workplace. This is therefore a major concern for them and you need to take it into account. Especially since a feeling of insecurity on their part can only have negative repercussions on their work and performance. It can also have negative effects on your clients and suppliers, who may sense social tensions and decide to end your collaboration.

Currently, a company that does not ensure its security effectively is taking many risks. Thefts of equipment, raw materials, and devices, as well as acts of vandalism and damage, are constantly increasing and all sectors are affected. The consequences can be very serious, as this can lead to a halt in your activity while you replace what was stolen and repair what was damaged. Not to mention the cost involved. This may also increase your insurance premiums.

A system that strengthens your brand image

Effectively protecting your companyshows your clients and employees that you are doing everything possible to ensure their safety as well as that of your buildings. This can only send them a positive signal and reassure them of your professionalism. Only in this way can you strengthen and prolong your collaboration with them.
