The right people, in the right places, at the right times

Biometric and card-based access control gives your organisation precise, auditable control over who moves where – while the same platform quietly handles visitor management, time and attendance and workforce reporting in the background.

Overview

One platform for credentials, doors and data

An access control system does two jobs at once. Operationally, it manages doors, credentials and permissions – who may enter which area, and when. Administratively, it produces a continuous record of movement that supports attendance, payroll and compliance reporting.

We design access solutions across both dimensions: readers and credentials at the door, controllers and software behind them, and the integrations – video, intrusion, HR and payroll – that turn access data into operational value.

Credential options range from cards and fobs to fingerprint and facial biometric readers, selected to suit the environment: indoor or outdoor, high-throughput or high-security, staff-only or visitor-heavy.

Capabilities

What the platform covers

● Card-based access control

Proximity and smart card credentials for staff and contractors, with permissions managed centrally per person, group, door and schedule.

● Biometric access control

Fingerprint and facial recognition readers for indoor and outdoor use, verifying the person rather than the credential – where appropriate for the environment and applicable law.

● Visitor management

Pre-registration, check-in and temporary credentials that give visitors exactly the access they need, for exactly as long as they need it.

● Time & attendance

The same access events that secure your doors capture accurate clock-in and clock-out data for your workforce.

● Reporting & payroll integration

Attendance and movement reports for management, with export to payroll systems where the selected platform supports it.

● Multi-site management

Administer credentials, permissions and reports across multiple buildings and locations from one central platform.

● Door & entrance control

Electric locking, request-to-exit devices, door monitoring and anti-passback rules that enforce your access policy at every opening.

● Video & intrusion integration

Access events linked to camera views and alarm zones, so a forced or held-open door becomes a verified, visible incident.

A note on biometrics: biometric readers significantly strengthen identity assurance, but no single technology provides absolute security. Well-designed systems layer credentials, procedures and monitoring – and we design with that principle, and with applicable data protection law, in mind.

● Bosch technology

Access management built to scale

Bosch access management software is designed to grow with the organisation it protects – from a single office to multi-site deployments with thousands of cardholders – without replacing the underlying platform.

Its architecture emphasises resilience and availability: controllers continue enforcing access decisions even if the connection to the server is interrupted, so doors stay secured and staff keep moving.

Native integration with Bosch video and intrusion systems means access events, alarms and camera views come together in one operating picture rather than three separate applications.

Electronic + physical

Credentials decide. Entrances enforce.

Electronic access control determines who is permitted through an opening; physical entrance control equipment – turnstiles, speed gates, barriers and security doors – physically enforces that decision, one person or vehicle at a time.

The two disciplines are strongest together, which is why we design them together.

Pairs naturally with

SYS.06

Physical Access Control

Turnstiles, gates and barriers that enforce credential decisions.

SYS.01

Video Surveillance

Every access event paired with the camera that saw it.

SYS.05

Intrusion Alarm Systems

Arm, disarm and monitor alarm zones from the same environment.
