ASSA ABLOY security solutions for the retail sector
In shops and department stores, the customer is king. Good service includes easy access and wide availability, but also protection against shoplifting and unauthorized entry into storeroom and service areas.
Door solutions and escape route systems must function reliably even with high visitor frequency, while access controls must secure sensitive areas. ASSA ABLOY (Schweiz) AG offers integrated security solutions that meet all these requirements in the retail sector.
What security requirements does the retail sector place on doors and access systems?
The retail sector faces a particular challenge: main entrances need to be open and inviting, while sensitive areas such as storerooms or staff areas must be securely protected. This challenge is evident in three specific areas
Key areas where ASSA ABLOY can offer an integrated solution:
Main entrances
Entrance doors in the retail sector are exposed to high numbers of visitors every day. They need to be barrier-free, robust, and consistently reliable without obstructing the flow of customers or impacting the shopping experience.
Staff areas
Frequent staff changes and a high proportion of part-time staff make access management complex. Access systems need to be quick to adapt and ensure that each person gets exactly the access they need for their role.
Storerooms and loading ramps
Goods areas and loading ramps are particularly vulnerable to theft. Access control solutions restrict access to authorized personnel only, log all access to ensure full traceability, and enable secure delivery acceptance even outside opening hours.
