Upgraded security
It is not only that access control systems let you track your employees they also allow you to grant specific access to certain areas. For example, if there is a certain room that contains valuable information and requires a higher level secured access then you can assign a unique code or key card/fob to grant access only to authorized employees.
Reduced crime
Advanced access control systems will absolutely help to reduce the risk of break-ins by unknown outsiders and former workers. These sophisticated systems are much harder to bypass than regular door locks and without the right passcode or key card/fob it is almost impossible.
If a key card/fob was stolen or if an employee was fired/quit you can quickly deactivate their access permissions. For example, in the event of a major change like an employee being fired, they might try to steal or damage office property and by immediately changing their access code can prevent any potential theft or destruction.
