What are the benefits of mobile-based access control?
As the world becomes increasingly digital, traditional methods of access control are being replaced by more advanced solutions, such as mobile-based access control. Mobile-based access control involves the use of a mobile device – such as a smartphone – as a user’s credentials. It makes physical keys, key fobs and any kind of key card redundant.
Mobile technology is secure and cost-effective for organizations
- Administration is quick and easy. Access rights are sent remotely and in real time to iLOQ’s app running on a user’s smartphone.
- Updating access rights is simple. With a few clicks, they can be updated and cancelled as needs change.
- Temporary and time-limited access rights can be granted, for example, for 3rd-party contractors offering more control and improved security.
- There are none of the security risks and costs involved with lost, stolen or unreturned physical keys.
- The environmental impact of people driving between administration offices and properties/sites to collect and return keys is eliminated.
- Access logs help to prevent or solve instances of misuse.
Mobile technology is easier for end users
- There’s no need to carry around big bunches of physical keys. There’s no need for a key at all: access rights are sent to an app running on your smartphone.
- Access rights can be quickly and easily updated and sent to your smartphone as your needs change.
