SMART ACCESS MANAGEMENT | Franking Machine Co

INTRODUCING
SMART ACCESS
MANAGEMENT

FMC'c newest solution designed to provide secure, compliant access management for visitors, employees, and contractors.

Providing consistently compliant and welcoming workplaces

Smart Access Management (SAM) enables contactless staff, contractor and visitor sign-in in an easy-to-use workplace visitor management system that:

Complies with visitor health checks
Streamlines, real-time visibility of processes
Manages physical and digital business access
Improves security in the new hybrid world of work

The workplace has changed, but the need to manage access to your business remains

The workplace today is not what it was. During the pandemic remote working took off to such an extent that – while some personnel are finally returning to the office – the great majority of organisations (up to 83%) anticipate a hybrid mix of on-premises and working from home to continue for the foreseeable future.

These changes to working life have complicated matters when it comes to providing access to the workplace. Where once it was simply enough to maintain a warm, welcoming reception for visitors, organisations today must also keep a close eye on access permissions in real-time to keep buildings and staff secure while ensuring they comply with regulations at all times.

Many businesses are therefore re-evaluating their workplace entry systems to see if there’s an altogether smarter way – one that uses modern intelligent technology – to meet both the physical and virtual needs of our digital world.

The Smart Access Management effortlessly lets managers digitally control, check and administer entry authorisation for hybrid workers as well as visiting guests and third party contractors either physically
at an entry kiosk or remotely in advance via an easy-to-use system portal.

SAM Features:

Pre-booking of facilities to support positive attitudes to hybrid working
Large screen, dual language support to help visitors notify their arrival
Ease of use, avoiding bottlenecks at reception
Flexibility to suit different reception set ups and visitor types
Zero touch access via QR code for frequent visitors and users who pre-register
Customisable of graphics and kiosk appearance for brand consistency
Robust, premium stand alone kiosk and desk-based hardware

Intelligent technology for constantly changing requirements and back-end prerequisites.

Embracing new technology to help solve some of your biggest challenges as a business can not only enable new ways of working, but help your organisation accelerate its transformation journey and provide greater depth of capability and assurance.

Hybrid Working

SAM lets you manage the physical and virtual needs of today’s hybrid workforce. Pre-registered regular visitors simply check-in using a QR code issued in advance or physically on arrival at a large screen kiosk. Meeting rooms, parking spaces and other facilities may also be pre-booked for optimal simplicity and convenience.

Security

SAM protects your people, premises and reputation by giving you complete control over data privacy, personal wellbeing and workplace safety. Managers can remotely track visitor movements at any office in the network in real time, helping staff feel secure knowing any strangers they see are authorised to be there and are on legitimate business.

everything you need from software to hardware, onboarding, maintenance and SLA. All from one trusted supplier and at a single price point that suits your needs and those of your business.

Compliance

SAM allows you to check and enforce compliance measures governing data security, valid documentation and health & safety at work. Sensitive information is securely stored in the cloud while copies of essential certifications – like a negative COVID test for example – can be checked in advance. Front desk staff have fewer distractions helping them to focus on giving visitors a warm welcome.
