Save time and money with eCLIQ
Save your valuable time and money with a seamless transition to programmable digital keys with eCLIQ
By 2025, access management will be much simpler. By integrating access control into their digital processes, businesses will be able to do away with the tedious task of managing keys and the cost of changing locks altogether. Making this change is much easier than many people think.
Security and facilities managers around the world are all too familiar with the drawbacks of outdated access management workflows: cumbersome key rings, lost keys, security staff tied to their desks, and endless manual key-tracking tasks. It can often be a repetitive and time-consuming daily chore.
The eCLIQ digital key solution, part of ASSA ABLOY’s Digital Access Solutions portfolio, transforms access management virtually overnight. With eCLIQ, security managers replace multiple keys by providing each user with a single digital key programmed with personalised access permissions. With eCLIQ, authorised users carry just one key that unlocks all the doors they need. Using eCLIQ feels completely familiar to anyone who has ever used a mechanical key.
Access and key management are also simplified. Key cabinets, complex spreadsheets and bulky ring binders are a thing of the past. Instead, day-to-day access management tasks are carried out using intuitive, user-friendly software that integrates with existing process and security management systems to save time.
Digitisation with eCLIQ also saves money. If someone loses their key or it is stolen, there is no longer any need to change the locks or replace the keys. With just a few clicks in the software – which can be accessed securely from anywhere with an internet connection – the key’s access rights are revoked without the need to change the cylinders anywhere in the building. Mobile workers can even update their access rights on the go via a secure Bluetooth connection between their key and their smartphone.
Make your access points future-proof for virtually any opening. The innovative eCLIQ solution offers an efficient and effective way to modernise digital access control for virtually any opening (doors, cupboards, etc.) in virtually any location, inside or outside buildings of any type and size. The upgrade is quick and easy. To install it, simply replace the existing mechanical cylinder with one of over 60 different types of eCLIQ wireless cylinders and locks. There is no need to drill holes, replace the door or install cables. The lock’s electronics are powered by the standard battery in each key; the typical battery life of standard eCLIQ keys is 10 years.
“For classrooms, offices, workshops, kitchens, studios, laboratories, treatment rooms, canteens, garages, gates, lifts, lockers, machines, first-aid kits and many other spaces, customers of all sizes and types already rely on eCLIQ,” says Stephan Schulz, Product Manager at ASSA ABLOY Opening Solutions EMEIA.
The solution’s flexibility and user-friendly management software ensure that keyholders only have access to the areas and at the times specified by security managers. If workflows change or staff leave, access can be revoked or modified instantly. No more waiting around for handover meetings; no more delays when managing busy offices with multiple tenants and service providers. The flexibility of the solution also makes it easier to manage access for temporary staff and contractors. For example, multi-residential property managers can grant cleaning staff specific access only at specific times. The software makes it easy to configure your digital key to work only at specific times and at selected entrances.
‘Site managers around the world already rely on this secure, tried-and-tested digital solution,’ adds Stephan Schulz. "They no longer have to worry about lost keys or having to change locks if someone loses theirs. With just a couple of clicks in the intuitive management software, they can track every interaction between eCLIQ keys and locks on their premises, or update access for mobile workers via the app."
All of this translates into significant savings in terms of the cost (and the headaches) associated with manual security management. It’s easy to set up and very user-friendly: our customers tell us that going digital with eCLIQ makes a difference from day one.
