Safety and security are things every business owner thinks about; or if not, they certainly should be concerned with these matters. While break-ins are not all that common of an occurrence in every business, these incidents can and do happen, so it is always best to be prepared for these kinds of eventualities. It is important to remember that not all threats come from the outside; there is also crime which can affect your company from within and these losses can be some of the most serious of all. However, there are solutions which can safeguard your business, namely biometric access control systems.
How Can Access Control Prevent Theft?
When you choose a package of biometric solutions which includes a security system along with an electronic clock, you can stymie thieves in several ways. You will make it extremely difficult for corporate spies working for competitors and would be identity thieves to get their hands on information which that would result in losses and problems for your company. This technology provides you with a way to restrict access to certain parts of your building, allowing only authorized personnel to enter - and you will be able to monitor who has been trying to gain entry to these areas.
There is another way that an electronic time clock can prevent a very serious kind of theft: time theft. This is one of the largest sources of financial losses at many companies and while it normally consists of an employee staying clocked in for a break here and there, these minutes add up to hours - and hundreds of thousands of dollars a lot quicker than you might think. However, a biometric access control system can work as an employee time clock as well put a stop to this problem immediately.
How Does Access Control Work?
Each member of your staff is assigned a unique identifier; either a PIN code or their own fingerprint which they then use to clock in or identify themselves to gain access to specified areas of your facilities. The use of fingerprint personal identification with biometric access control makes it impossible for employees to, for instance, clock in for one another - and it also makes it impossible for unauthorized personnel to enter areas which they have not been given permission to. It is an elegantly simple way to give yourself a little more peace of mind; and save your company tens, even hundreds of thousands, all with a low cost system which is easy to install and set up and has a very low cost of ownership.
Whether you are concerned with the security of your offices or manufacturing plant or you are interested in a means of eliminating time theft and reducing your payroll costs, it is time that your company looked into what a biometric access control system could do for you.
