Business premises

If an office building’s private car park is unsecured, the risks can include theft, vandalism and assault. So it’s crucial to help protect people and their property by ensuring only authorized vehicles have access to the car park – while also enabling a convenient entry and exit.

Outdated access control methods - where drivers have to stop to show a card, for example - can cause long queues at office car park entrances and exits. Especially during peak periods, such as early morning and late afternoon. As a car park is the initial point of entry, queues create a bad first impression for visitors, and can also affect employee productivity and morale. An additional challenge is that different user groups (employees and visitors, for example) may have different types of identifiers, and different authorizations for accessing the car park and office building. Modern technology is needed to overcome these complexities.

As many organizations need less desk space today due to people working from home, increasingly more office buildings are home to multiple tenants. And this brings its own challenges. For these buildings, it’s important to control which employees and visitors can access the car park and when, so each organization has fair use of it.
