The previous two articles introduced how combining access control systems with HR systems can bring benefits to logistics and construction. This article introduces their application in property management.
As people increasingly pursue smart living, residential buildings, which reach a broad population, are a strong setting for smart development. Smart access control systems can use facial recognition, fingerprint identification, QR codes, passwords, cards, and other methods. Residents can enter conveniently, while front desk management staff can identify residents more easily and protect building security. Beyond the main entrance, access control can be used for different floors, clubhouses, car parks, and other areas so only designated residents can access them. Mailboxes can also be managed through access control, allowing only designated residents to open them and recording package pickup times for smart management.
Residential buildings have many visitors. Management staff often need to call residents to verify identity, and when many people arrive at the same time, they may be overwhelmed, increasing the risk of unauthorized entry. Access control systems can allow visitors to enter through time-limited QR codes or smart passwords shared by residents, reducing waiting time.
Residential buildings are accessed not only by residents and visitors, but also by guards and management staff who enter and patrol different areas through access control systems. Combining access control with an HR system can effectively verify guard identities, record patrol information, and protect both the building and residents. Management companies can use the scheduling system in the HR system to assign guard shifts and set access permissions. For example, guards may only enter during working hours using the QR code in the HR mobile app, and cannot enter on non-working days.
Guards can also record patrols through the access control system by checking in with the QR code in the HR App at different patrol points. They can view real-time records in the HR App to confirm successful check-in, reducing laziness and false patrol reporting while making management easier.
Overall, residential buildings have many types of people entering and leaving and extensive contact with the public. Property management companies should expand existing access control systems to manage residents while also verifying visitors and staff. When access control systems work with HR systems, they can manage attendance and patrol records and improve overall management efficiency.
