Clockwise

The company’s fast-growing offering includes contemporary offices, meeting rooms and shared workspaces in multiple cities, accessed via a variety of membership packages.

«Looking ahead, flexible office space is not going anywhere and could even double in size over the next five years in the UK», say property market experts Savills*.

To achieve Clockwise’s ambitious growth plans in this competitive market, flexibility is essential in delivering security and access control for their clients.

Clockwise key requirements were:

• A portfolio of electronic devices to lock meeting rooms, private offices, communal spaces and main entrances
• Easy tailoring of every user’s access rights to match their needs and level of Clockwise Membership 
• Modern access control suited to a client base of start-ups, innovators, freelancers and growing SMBs
• A system which can scale instantly up or down, to meet a space’s evolving security needs or usage

Across all Clockwise locations, internal private office doors, “Zoom rooms” and meeting rooms — as well as communal area doors and external doors — are now secured with ASSA ABLOY devices and managed by an Incedo Business Cloud access control system.

The diversity of Incedo -enabled devices enables Clockwise to select the ideal electronic lock for every specific opening across their properties, without having to compromise. 

The modular Incedo platform-based solution incorporates wired and wireless door locking devices, plus a choice of physical and mobile credentials, from across the ASSA ABLOY Opening Solutions range.

Incedo’s flexible Cloud system management enables Clockwise to operate their access control from any where at any time of day. Administrators quickly create groups with tailored access for specific doors. Access permissions may also be time-limited, which is perfect for meeting room bookings and for facilitating access hours for different membership options: Private desk members get 24/7 access, whereas club lounge membership only allows entry during office hours.

The ability to remotely update access cards also saves the Clockwise team time. They don’t have to issue new keys in person or require a user to come to reception to provide access to meeting rooms, for example.
