What an Access Control System Should Do for a Health and Fitness Facility
As we introduce our latest accessory for SpectrumNG, the Access Control System (ACS) software application, we felt it would be a suitable time to share what we believe is important when it comes to managing access to your health club, wellness center, or recreation facility.
Provide a Better Customer Service Experience
There’s nothing worse than members feeling disgruntled as soon as they step inside the building. We believe you can set the right tone by making the member check-in process seamless and lightning fast. If one of your employees could scan or swipe a member’s card and open a door or gate more quickly than your ACS, it’s not worth it. Your ACS should provide a better customer service experience for your member, not a worse one.
Uphold Membership Agreements
Many health clubs, wellness centers, and recreation facilities offer multiple membership options with different prices. These options often vary by which areas of the facility a member can access or by the number of days a member can use the club each week.
While managing entrance points is about boosting security in your facility and knowing who’s where, we think an ACS can (and should) do a whole lot more.
Your ACS should help you uphold the access and usage options of your memberships and protect the integrity of your agreements. It’s vital for your ACS to communicate with your management software so that it can grant or deny entry based on the most up-to-date member information.
Free Up Time
An ACS should be reliable, consistent, and hands-free so that you never have to waste valuable time with maintenance or follow-up tasks. An ACS that synchronizes access activity with your management software means less administrative responsibility and better efficiency. After installation, an ACS should be able to do its job without help, so you can do yours.
Our Solution
With these considerations in mind, we’ve developed a flexible solution for our SpectrumNG customers that functions from start to finish in milliseconds. With our ACS, you can:
· Convert an unlimited number of doors, turnstiles, and gates into secure access points for your facility.
· Enforce facility access and usage rules based on membership type.
· Integrate access activity with SpectrumNG’s Front Desk Check-In module.
· Manually open an access point and monitor access point activity from any computer in your facility using the ACS Viewer.
