Main features

Security made easy

Manage and control all security-relevant factors in your company. The main component is a software-based access control system. The advantage: digital authorization concepts. Instead of an analog locking system, in which a large number of keys and locks are managed, employees, authorized visitors and external company personnel are issued with a card or chip. If access rights change, manual adjustments are very easy without manual intervention. With a reliable security dashboard, visitor management, ID generator and other functions, you have a comprehensive security toolkit for targeted access control system at your disposal.

With GFOS.Access Control, we offer your company comprehensive, innovative security solutions - and create the digital transformation of tomorrow.

Our services help secure access to your buildings and premises. We work with you to develop the optimum solution for employee IDs or transponders and integrate other card-controlled applications on the RFID card.

FAQ
What access control systems are available?

There are various access control systems that control access to buildings or premises. These range from pure access readers to additional security factors such as PIN codes and biometric systems. Software can be used to map individual authorizations, time zone regulations and more. A distinction is also made between online and offline access. With online access, the hardware components are in continuous communication with the server or a database. Offline access, on the other hand, describes a system that works independently of a central server - the access rights are stored on the access medium, such as a transponder, and are updated at regular intervals at a read/write terminal. We would be happy to advise you on suitable solutions for your requirements.

How does access control system work?

An access system uses electronic systems to control access to buildings or premises. People are granted access using IDs, smartphones or biometric features such as their fingerprint. The controlling software in the background manages individual authorizations and time zones to control access to certain areas. This increases security, minimizes risks and offers flexible access management.

Can I also combine the GFOS.Access Control with other software modules?

Yes. The GFOS software world has a modular structure. There are various components that you can use stand-alone. Other functions however, are dependent on other GFOS solutions, such as the evacuation list. This checks factors from time tracking software and access control system and requires them in order to provide more precise information. However, the advantage of GFOS software is obvious: you can easily combine requirements from the areas of access control, workforce management, manufacturing execution systems as well as cloud and IT infrastructures. Our IT experts will be happy to advise you on the possibilities and how to use our software to suit your needs. 

Is GFOS.Access Control also available in the cloud?

Yes, the entire GFOS ecosystem is available in the cloud. Our GFOS knownCloud offers you the necessary security with server locations in Germany. This means you can implement the solution in your company more quickly and scale it as required.

What are the system requirements for the GFOS visitor management software?

Our software solution has a general configuration standard that works for many companies.  Information on the compatibility of the GFOS software can be found in our system requirements. These are standard requirements. If you have further or more individual requirements, we will find a solution together. Our IT experts will be happy to advise you on your project.
