WOBAK relies on eCLIQ to secure residential and office buildings

Challenge

WOBAK (Städtische Wohnungsbaugesellschaft GmbH Konstanz) has been active in the Constance residential building sector for over 90 years. It aims to provide people in different situations with suitable living space in this attractive lakeside city. To achieve its goal, WOBAK itself is involved in the construction of new buildings and modernizing existing ones.

Securing its properties — residential buildings, connecting accommodation and its own administrative offices — is a top priority for WOBAK. With the large number of properties, this housing company regularly experiences problems with lost keys. In addition, service providers such as tradespeople and cleaning staff regularly require efficient access to their buildings. WOBAK need a locking system which combines a high level of security with this great flexibility.

Solution

The WOBAK service centre and workshop, as well as three new buildings — two apartment buildings and one for refugee accommodation — were equipped with eCLIQ wireless electronic access control. This programmable key system from ASSA ABLOY can be managed via an easily scalable and flexible cloud based platform: the CLIQ Web Manager (CWM).

This user-friendly software enables the locking system management application to be launched from anywhere via the Internet. Responsible employees can manage access at any time and from any location. Lost or stolen keys are quickly deactivated and tradespeople may be granted access authorizations without great effort. CWM is therefore ideal for managing locking systems which are distributed over several locations — as is the case for WOBAK.
