Use case
Protected areas
Every key and card that opens a server room or plant room, master keys included. Access needs approval from whoever answers for the room.
The problem
Server rooms, plant rooms and other critical rooms need tighter control than office space.
The card list in the access control system is only half the answer.
The other half is every mechanical key that opens the same door, master keys included.
What portierX does
Each protected room has an owner in portierX.
One list shows every key and card that opens the room, master keys included.
New access to the room needs the owner’s approval.
Every approval, issue and return is on record.
