Keep arrivals organised
A delivery driver needs a clear call point and instructions; regular staff need a credential that works with their shift. Separate pedestrian entry from vehicle access wherever the site layout requires it.
Match access to shifts
Define which teams can enter offices, stores and operational areas and at what times. Contractor access should have an owner and a removal process rather than relying on a widely shared code.
Account for the physical site
Long cable runs, outdoor equipment and gate locations affect power and network design. Review the actual pathways and operating environment before selecting the controller and reader arrangement.
