The Challenge
SKIDATA, a tech-forward vehicle access company with multiple offices across the US, was struggling with its existing on-premise security systems. These systems were not keeping pace with the technology required to operate an efficient company. Each office required its own servers and management, leading to a complex and inefficient system. Employees needed different credentials for each location, adding to the complexity and inefficiency. Furthermore, with the growing trend of contactless technology in their industry, SKIDATA was in need of a system that could support contactless functionality.

About The Customer
SKIDATA is a tech-forward vehicle access company with multiple offices across the United States. The company was using an on-premise security system that was lagging behind the technology they needed to operate efficiently. Each office required its own servers and management, and employees needed different credentials for each location. The company was also looking to incorporate contactless technology into their security system.
The Solution
SKIDATA switched to Alta's cloud-based access control system, which offered an intuitive user interface. This system provided high-tech mobile credentials, allowing employees to open doors with their phones, eliminating the need for key fobs or badges. The system also offered full-building security with hands-free, touchless entry that worked for both the front door and the parking control system at every SKIDATA office. The Alta integration allowed for granular control over parking garage security, such as defining areas for specific tenants and using schedules to limit access times. This made managing access for multiple office sites efficient and frictionless.
