Our solution combines powerful OLS hardware with PayEscape’s cloud-based services, offering one complete package for managing your workforce. Businesses benefit from:
OLS hardware integrates directly into PayEscape’s suite of services, creating one efficient ecosystem for HR, payroll, and security. Time and attendance data is automatically synced with employee records, eliminating duplicate data entry, enabling accurate payroll, and offering insights into workforce activity and performance. The system is future-proof, easy to expand, and includes automated updates, AWS-based security, mobile access options, and custom templates to suit your operational structure.
OLS CCTV and video surveillance systems work in tandem with access control hardware. When an access event occurs (e.g. door opened, badge denied), the system can automatically record the incident for later review. This provides a visual audit trail, enhances incident response, and helps with health and safety compliance.
Yes. All video surveillance systems are cloud-connected, meaning authorised users can access live and archived footage from any device. Whether you’re on-site or working remotely, you can respond quickly to security incidents, review footage, or provide documentation during audits.
We offer a range of barrier systems including automatic vehicle gates, bollards, security pods, and barrier arms. These systems are often used in car parks, commercial premises, and restricted access zones. They integrate with ANPR (Automatic Number Plate Recognition), access cards, or mobile credentials for seamless control.
Barrier systems integrate with fire muster reporting tools, giving you instant access to entry/exit logs during emergencies. In the event of a fire or evacuation, this helps determine who is on-site and whether anyone is missing, supporting quick and informed emergency responses.
Turnstiles are secure pedestrian entry systems ideal for high-traffic areas such as leisure centres, universities, and large office buildings. They control access by allowing one person through at a time and can be equipped with biometric scanners or card readers. Full-height options offer higher security, while waist-high and optical options are ideal for monitored zones.
Yes. OLS solutions are designed to be modular and scalable. Whether you operate in healthcare, manufacturing, leisure, or education, we can configure the hardware and software to meet sector-specific needs. This includes things like mobile access for guests, integration with health and safety protocols, and bespoke reporting for compliance.
Yes. OLS access control solutions are fully cloud-based and managed through a single, central dashboard. You can monitor activity, manage users, and update access permissions across multiple facilities in real time from anywhere. This is especially beneficial for organisations with distributed workforces or national operations that require unified access policies.
Yes. OLS hardware includes biometrics clock in options such as fingerprint and facial recognition to eliminate buddy punching and increase accuracy.
Yes. OLS offers sustainable access solutions, including bamboo access cards as an alternative to plastic ID cards. These are ideal for organisations with environmental targets and sustainability policies, offering the same level of security and functionality with a lower environmental footprint.
