Managing a building’s access requires a delicate balance between security and convenience. You want to ensure only authorized personnel enter, but you also don’t want to create bottlenecks or a frustrating experience for legitimate visitors, employees, and contractors.
This is where integrating your visitor management system (VMS) with your access control solution comes in. In this blog, we’ll explore the advantages of integrating MRI OnLocation, a leading VMS platform, with Paxton’s Net 2 advanced access control systems.
Enhanced Security and Control
Imagine a seamless process where a pre-registered visitor receives an invitation, completes a quick online pre-check, and upon arrival, their credentials are instantly verified by OnLocation. This data is then securely communicated to the Paxton system, automatically granting access to designated areas for the approved duration.
This integration eliminates manual processes and human error, ensuring only authorized individuals with valid identification can enter. Additionally, you can:
- Set access levels for different visitor types (deliveries, meetings, etc.)
- Restrict access to sensitive areas
- Track visitor movement throughout the facility (with permission)
Improved Efficiency and Streamlined Workflows
Gone are the days of paper sign-in sheets and manually managing access control. OnLocation and Paxton working together create a smooth visitor experience:
- Pre-registration: Visitors can be pre-register via calander integrations online beforehand, saving time upon arrival.
- Self-service check-in: Kiosks or mobile apps allow visitors to sign in quickly and efficiently.
- Automated badge printing: Issue temporary badges for authorized access.
- Reduced front desk workload: Free up staff for more strategic tasks.
Benefits for Everyone
This integration offers advantages for all stakeholders:
- Security personnel: Gain real-time insights into building occupancy and visitor activity.
- Facility managers: Simplify access control and streamline workflows.
- Visitors: Enjoy a quick, contactless sign-in process.
- Employees: Focus on their work without disruptions.
Compliance and Reporting
Integration simplifies compliance with industry regulations and internal security policies. You can easily generate reports on visitor activity, access attempts, and potential security breaches.
Conclusion
MRI OnLocation’s visitor management combined with Paxton Net2’s access control creates a robust security ecosystem for your building. It enhances security, improves operational efficiency, and provides a positive experience for everyone involved.
