ASSA ABLOY
Security Solutions, a UK division of ASSA ABLOY, the global leader in door
opening solutions, has launched its new CLIQ Connect app, a simple and
cost-effective way for facility managers to control the security permissions of
a mobile workforce from their smartphone.
Facility managers can update, amend, revoke or renew access rights
remotely from the CLIQ Web Manager software and the latest Bluetooth® technology paired with a mobile phone.
Mobile
workers then simply need to open the CLIQ Connect App for the updated access
permissions to be instantly transferred to their programmable CLIQ key via
Bluetooth.
This
technology provides flexible access control and a secure key management
solution for facility managers. Access rights can be tailored to meet
individual requirements, so permissions are only granted for the specific time
and date needed. Furthermore, a lost key is no longer a threat, as facility
managers can simply remove the key’s access rights from the CLIQ Web Manager
software, at anytime and from anywhere.
Operations
are streamlined too, with a keyholder no longer having to update access rights
physically in person, carry additional updating devices, or even return to base
to retrieve the key needed. For additional peace of mind, audit trails can also
be generated on demand, and data transfer between the system and app is
encrypted.
CLIQ
Connect is currently available on the eCLIQ platform from ASSA ABLOY Security
Solutions, which features a pioneering and 128-bit AES encryption.
Developed
to offer high security and resistance to electronic attacks, eCLIQ’s proven
technology and advanced microelectronics ensure quick and secure communication
between lock and key.
CLIQ
Connect will be rolled out to the organisation’s acclaimed ASSA CLIQ Remote
system later this year.
With no
extra hardware required, to get started all mobile workers need is a smartphone
and to download the CLIQ Connect App.
Simon
Wilson, National Sales Manager for ASSA CLIQ Remote at ASSA ABLOY Security
Solutions, explains: “Facility managers and their mobile workforce are short on
time, and want solutions that are easy to implement and help simplify
workflows. CLIQ Connect has been designed to meet these needs. It has never
been so easy for access rights to be issued to remote workers, nor update these
so quickly.
“Site
security is improved too, with lost keys no longer posing a threat. The
technology cuts the time that might be typically wasted on administrating
access rights, plus saves money that would have otherwise been spent on
programming devices and key management systems.
“Ultimately,
the new CLIQ Connect App uses the latest technology to ensure facility managers
are in control of their security at all times.”
