Access Control Systems for Canadian Businesses

Physical keys can be copied, lost, or stolen and when an employee leaves, you have no way to know who still has them. Access control replaces physical keys with digital credentials that can be issued instantly, restricted by zone and time, and revoked the moment they're no longer needed.

What Your Access Control System Manages

Zone-Based Permissions

Staff access only the areas their role requires. A warehouse worker can enter the facility floor but not the executive suite. A contractor can access the maintenance bay but not the server room.

Time-Based Access

Credentials can be restricted by day and time. Night-shift staff get entry during their shift window only. Contractors get access for the duration of their engagement and not a day more.

Full Audit Logs

Every entry and exit is timestamped and logged by credential, location, and zone. A complete, searchable record of who was where and when invaluable for HR, compliance, and incident investigation.

Instant revocation

When an employee leaves or a contractor's engagement ends, their access is removed in seconds from your admin panel from any device, from anywhere. No key collection. No lock changes.
