Professional security business chooses Incedo^™ Business

Challenges

Plexus is a commercial electronic fire and security specialist serving customers in South Wales and around the UK. With extensive expertise in the security sector, they are aware of a growing need for connectivity and integration across building functions including access control.

Disappointed with an existing system, which was proving expensive to maintain, Plexus managers sought a more flexible access control system for their own head office in Swansea.

Requirements

∙ A modern access control system which has the potential to be operated securely from the cloud.

∙ Easy hardware and software upgrade from an existing unsatisfactory system.

∙ A broad choice of door locking devices and readers for multiple types of opening solutions.

∙ A future-proofed platform offering the option to scale up with ease.

Solution

ASSA ABLOY’s Incedo Business Lite system is now running at the Plexus head office in Swansea. Installing hardware devices from the wide ASSA ABLOY Opening Solutions range was fast and simple, making the switch to Incedo Business straightforward.

With keyless locking and Incedo Business Lite management software, Plexus managers now control exactly who goes where around their offices. They can set times when defined user groups may open specific doors. It keeps staff moving and safe without the hassle of physical keys.

The “new software has been seamless, much simpler and [with a] common sense approach to structure,” says Operations Director, Marcus Elphick. Incedo Business software is intuitive to operate from any PC. Plexus want to upgrade to Incedo Business Cloud management software, with real-time 24/7 access from anywhere and for a far greater number of doors as they look at expanding across various sites.

The entire Incedo platform is fully flexible and modular, allowing Plexus to add more locks or change management software options whenever they need. They are already planning to extend control: remote sites, entrance gates and warehouse access control will all be covered, too. “We have been so pleased with the system and its capabilities,” adds Marcus Elphick.
