We've seen a few security trends come and go over the years, including the use of video surveillance, electric fences, alarm systems, and more. But one security system that’s remained a popular choice for businesses is the key fob system. Many businesses rely on these types of systems to keep their assets secure while also giving employees access to restricted areas. In this article, we’ll explain more about key fobs and how they can help secure your business.

What is a key fob system?

A key fob system is a type of access control system that uses radio frequency (RF) to communicate between the key fob and a receiver. You tap the fob or card to an access point on the door and the door unlocks, allowing you to enter a business or restricted premise.

The lower costs of these systems make them ideal for small businesses or organisations with limited budgets. Their flexibility also makes them useful in many different roles, including employee identification, visitor management and timekeeping.

Why do you need a key fob system?

A key fob system is a convenient and efficient way to control access to your business. As a business, you want to prevent unauthorised access to important business areas. First and foremost, it’s a security measure.

That being said, there are a lot of other indirect benefits to having a keyless entry system for your business. The ASSA ABLOY eCLIQ Technology, for example, logs each employee who enters or leaves the building, allowing you to track who has been where and for how long.

The additional data allows you to monitor employee activities more closely. For example, you might want to use the fob system to collect data on employee start and finish times.

ASSA ABLOY eCLIQ Technology

ASSA ABLOY has some great options for business key fob systems, one of which is eCLIQ Technology. What makes this option superior is the software choices and ease of management.

In terms of software, ASSA ABLOY makes managing and monitoring the key fob system very simple and easy. With the CLIQ Web Manager, you can change access rights and reprogram cylinders from a laptop anywhere in the world.

The ASSA ABLOY connect keys are fitted with additional features such as BlueTooth connectivity, which gives users the unique benefit of updating fob settings through mobile apps or on the go.

How much does a key fob system for business cost?

The cost to purchase and install a key fob system for your business is going to vary depending on the size of your office or location and the number of access points and users. The worst thing you can do is install a system that can’t grow with you; that’s why we recommend Incedo Business, which combines access control and security hardware with your choice of software in one scalable environment.
