Food retail company Deutsche See relies on eCLIQ

Challenge

With headquarters in Bremerhaven, Deutsche See is the number one in Germany for marketing fish and seafood. At 19 sites all over Germany, the company employs around 1,800 workers and supplies over 35,000 customers from the food retail trade, gastronomy and high-end gastronomy, as well as corporate and social catering. Deutsche See supplies end consumers all over Germany via its own online shop.

The worldwide procurement of high-quality raw produce, careful and tailored production and finishing, above-average quality management and a logistics system with a sustainable fleet that is unique on the market all set the company apart.

A company like Deutsche See is always moving. New departments are formed, staff relocate and processes change. Suppliers, craftsmen and the company’s own personnel come and go. This creates the need for new access authorizations that can only be adjusted quickly and cheaply with a highly flexible master key system. Protected areas also require different levels of security, personalised locking type options and high weather resistance, particularly in outdoor areas.

Solution

Deutsche See chose the eCLIQ key-based access control system. eCLIQ , a purely electronic system from the CLIQ range, offers a high level of protection against tampering and intelligent attacks. The new chip generation has AES encryption. The keys are also extremely robust, have a waterproof casing and thus fulfil the high demands of challenging environmental conditions.

The master key system can be managed via an easily scalable and flexible Cloud-based platform with the CLIQ Web-Manager.

With the hosting solution chosen by Deutsche See, data is stored securely at ASSA ABLOY. This means that it can be accessed via the system at any time and from any location.The software is especially well-suited for management of large master key systems or in multiple locations with large distances between them. Because the client is platform-independent and thus suitable for any standard web browser, it could be installed easily on the server landscape at Deutsche See.
