How Paxton helps secure retail buildings
Managing your building
Our user-friendly systems which make it straightforward for you to manage your building. Within a retail environment, you can benefit from many features including:
- Time and attendance – generate easy reports for payroll
- Straightforward card management – simply cancel a lost card without needing to change locks
- User groups – create different access permissions for employees, setting different permissions for your stock room, staff room and office
- Video door entry – a quick and convenient way to allow visual verification before allowing people to access your site, such as delivery drivers or new employees
Setting access rights
Depending on which solution you choose, access permissions can be managed from a PC or locally at each door. Either way, our solutions can help you manage your site with a range of access permissions.
- Temporary access – provide employees with short-term contracts with a token that has a time restriction in case you lose their token
- Wireless door handles – a great way to quickly secure a single or multiple doors such as stock rooms and staff areas
- Multi-tenant – great for stores or shopping centres with more than one retail business, restrict individual shops to only administer tokens for their shop and the main store entrance
Automated security settings
Automation allows you to run your building efficiently, gaining more from your system than just a security solution by making it easier to associate an action to an individual, or a group of people.
- Timezones – enable doors to lock and unlock automatically during specified times, such as store opening. These times can be updated quickly and easily from the software to reflect changing requirements; for example during bank holidays.
- Roll call – the system administrator to obtain a report listing all users currently within a specified area. This is used in the event of an emergency, such as a fire alarm, when it can be used to check that everyone is out of the building
Integrating the system
Integrating with other systems can make your site more streamlined and secure.
- Intruder alarm – control your intruder and access systems as one across different areas of your building and minimise false alarms
- Fire alarm – program your fire doors to automatically open in the event of an emergency
- CCTV – link footage to specific access events in our software
- Lift control – utilising I/O boards the system can be configured to control access into lifts and to individual floors
