The principle

Know who enters –
and change access instantly

The mechanical key has a structural flaw: it cannot be revoked. An employee leaving, a lost keyring, a service provider no longer on the job—and suddenly you are replacing cylinders.

A second benefit is traceability: knowing who opened the stockroom and at what time. This often explains internal shrinkage that cameras alone cannot clarify.

Functions

Three capabilities, one badge

Access control isn't just about locking; it’s about granting specific permissions. Each individual opens only the areas they are authorized to access, and only when they are authorized to do so.

01 / RIGHTS

By person and by zone

Storage area · Office · Technical room

Each badge opens only what it is authorized to open—nothing else. Sensitive areas are handled differently than common areas.

02 / HOURS

Access windows

Service providers · Deliveries

A cleaning contractor does not need access at 3 a.m. on a Sunday. Access rights can also be time-restricted.

03 / TRACEABILITY

Timestamped history

Disputes · Inventory discrepancies

Access log available for review—useful in the event of a dispute or an unexplained inventory discrepancy.

Legal framework

Presence data means
legal responsibilities

An access control system records the movements of identified individuals: this constitutes the processing of personal data.

01 / REGISTER

GDPR registration

Purpose, legal basis, retention period, and recipients must be listed in the record of processing activities.

02 / INFORMATION

Employees notified

Prior notification is mandatory, and the Social and Economic Committee (CSE) must be consulted for companies with more than 50 employees.

03 / PROPORTION

Proportionate to the purpose

Securing a stockroom—yes; reconstructing everyone's schedules—no. Access rights are configured accordingly during installation.

Frequently asked questions

What businesses ask us

Do the doors need to be changed to install access control?

Rarely. Most existing doors can be fitted with an electric strike or electromagnetic lock without replacing the entire door unit. An on-site survey determines the appropriate hardware for each door and identifies emergency exit requirements.

What happens in the event of a power outage?

Operational behavior is determined during installation based on the specific door: some must automatically unlock for evacuation purposes, while others must remain locked. Power supplies include backup systems to ensure continued operation during brief outages.

Can access be restricted to specific times?

Yes. Specific zones and time slots are assigned to each badge. A service provider might be granted access to only one specific door, on certain days, and within a defined time window.

Can access control be used to track employee working hours?

That is not its intended purpose, and using it in this way—without a legal basis or prior notification—raises compliance issues. The system must remain proportionate to the security objective; we configure viewing rights and data retention periods accordingly.

Can multiple sites be managed using the same badges?

Yes. An employee can use a single badge valid across multiple store locations, with access rights tailored to each site and managed from a central station.

Can access control be integrated with alarm and camera systems?

Yes, and that is often where it proves most valuable: cross-referencing badge data, timestamps, and video footage can resolve most uncertainties in just a few minutes.
