Consid automates key management

Key management automation

As one of Sweden's fastest growing consulting companies with offices around the country, the number of employees is constantly increasing. More employees means more personnel matters. A matter that often becomes burdened with more work and that arises with more employees is the key management, to ensure in a smooth and secure way that the right person has the right access to the office. Consid is an innovative company that constantly thinks in terms of streamlining and automating parts that usually take up a lot of time. Therefore, the requirement for the choice of access control system was that there was room to take advantage of the competence in-house and give themselves the opportunity to automate the key management.

Since the start-up a few years ago, the Gothenburg office has grown to over 100 employees! To facilitate the onboarding process for the new employees, Consid has connected its own AD system (active directory) to Parakey's access control system so that when a new employee starts at Consid, he or she receives a mobile key sent to him or her that gives access to Consid's passages in the office.

"The purpose is that you from their AD should be able to handle access to the different keys / locks in exactly the same way as you manage their other permissions. Integration was relatively simple, but it places high demands on information and more to be handled safely regarding the development of integration.

- Henrik Jacobsson, Business Area Manager, Consid

With Parakey's open APIs, it was not very difficult for Consid's developers to get an idea of the work required to set up an integration between the two different systems. Instead of spending time, energy and money on programming new fobs for their employees and ensuring that the right person has the right access, Parakey's access control system gives Consid the opportunity to focus fully on helping their customers.

Same solution to other customers

After integrating its AD system to Parakey's mobile access control system , it has also provided opportunities for Consid to help other customers of Parakey who also see a value in automating key management. We think it is extremely fun to work with a company like Consid where together we can bring greater value to a customer than we can do on our own.
