Why use Boqsy smart locks?

In the face of many challenges faced by retailers concerning the management of security and access control, smart locks are a must-have solution.

For retailers, one of the biggest concerns is how to prevent unauthorised access to stores, malls and distribution centers. Traditional lock-and-key systems may be lost, stolen or copied, which results in potential security breaches and inventory loss. Smart locks eliminate the risks by giving advanced, keyless entry solutions, like biometric verification, PIN codes or smartphone access that ensures only authorized people are allowed to get in.

Another big pain point for retailers is how to administer access for such a large number of employees, which includes both permanent and temporary ones, as well as delivery men. There are a lot of hassles in using physical keys, and it does cost valuable time. Smart locks make the access control easier for retailers in the sense that they are allowed to grant or revoke the access permissions from one centralised platform with ease. It will save valuable time and increase the level of security by giving real-time control over who enters specific areas.

Inventory management and loss prevention are critical concerns in the retail industry. In this case, the detailed access logs and real-time notifications provided by smart locks allow retailers to keep a close look at entry and exit activity. This data is valuable for identifying unauthorised entry attempts and taking prevention against theft. Moreover, in case of emergency, smart locks can offer fast and coordinated responses through remote lockdowns or granting first responders with access in emergencies, such as break-ins or accidents.

Another realm in which smart locks deliver huge advantages is that of operational efficiency. Through integrations with other existing security and management systems, smart locks provide seamless and automated access control for the smooth running of operations. Such integrations can reduce administrative burdens, lower the costs of operation, and enhance overall productivity. For example, it can make operations during peak shopping seasons smoother by ensuring that additional staff or temporary workers can be easily and effectively accommodated.

In short, smart locks meet the main pain points of retailers: enhanced security, streamlined access control, prevention of inventory loss, and improved efficiency in operations. By implementing smart locks, retailers can build a safer, more efficient and responsive environment for themselves in order to create better customer experiences and optimize business results.
