At Amilia, we know that organizations like YMCAs, JCCs, and Parks and Recreation facilities rely on seamless operations and secure environments to serve their communities effectively. That’s why we’ve partnered with industry leaders like Avigilon Alta, Hartmann Controls, and Prologik to offer secure, streamlined, and scalable solutions. These partnerships help facilities manage access intelligently, ensuring that only authorized individuals can enter, while enhancing the overall experience for staff and members.

Avigilon Alta: Smarter, Cloud-Based Security for Busy Facilities

Avigilon Alta is a cutting-edge cloud-based access control system designed for organizations with multiple areas to secure, like gyms, childcare centers, or outdoor spaces. Its cloud capabilities allow managers to control access remotely and in real time, without the need for complex on-site infrastructure. Key benefits include:

  • Scalability: Avigilon Alta grows with your facility, easily adapting to expanding access points or new locations.
  • Data Insights: Advanced analytics provide real-time data on traffic patterns and security risks, offering valuable insights.
  • Mobile Access: Users can unlock doors via their smartphones, a key card or even a wave of the hand creating a seamless experience for members and staff.

This cloud-first approach is ideal for facilities looking for both flexibility and top-tier security management.

Hartmann Controls: Reliable, Local Solutions for Smaller Spaces

For organizations that require a straightforward, locally managed solution, Hartmann Controls offers a reliable alternative. These systems are especially suited for facilities that don’t need the scale of a cloud-based platform but still prioritize security. Benefits include:

  • Hard-Wired Security: Local control panels ensure consistent performance, without the reliance on internet connectivity.
  • Customizable Access: Facilities can tailor access levels to different areas, with detailed permissions for specific times or events.

Hartmann is a great fit for smaller organizations or facilities that need dependable, on-site control.

What are the Key Differences Between Avigilon Alta and Hartmann Controls?

While both Avigilon Alta and Hartmann Controls offer strong access management, their primary differences lie in their scope and flexibility. Avigilon Alta’s cloud-based infrastructure is best for larger, multi-site organizations, providing scalable solutions that can grow alongside the facility. Hartmann Controls, on the other hand, is perfect for smaller or single-location indoor spaces, offering robust, locally managed control without the need for internet connectivity.

Is Prologik and Avigilon Alta Reseller?

To ensure a smooth transition to Avigilon Alta, Amilia partners with Prologik, an Avigilon reseller and implementation expert.

With Prologik’s guidance, your facility will be equipped with the tools it needs to enhance security without any disruptions to daily activities. As a bonus, they offer their services both in English and French.

How Does Smart Access Management Improve Facilities?

Modern access management transforms how facilities operate by simplifying security, enhancing member experiences, and increasing operational efficiency. By implementing advanced systems like Avigilon Alta or Hartmann Controls, organizations can automate many aspects of access control, reducing the administrative burden on staff and freeing them to focus on delivering exceptional programming.

For facilities managing multiple spaces, mobile access and real-time monitoring offer greater flexibility, allowing managers to oversee security from anywhere. This can be particularly beneficial for organizations with diverse activities happening simultaneously. Members and staff benefit from a streamlined, tech-forward experience that makes entering the facility hassle-free.

In addition to improved security, facilities gain:

  • Time savings: Automated access management reduces time spent on manual entry processes.
  • Enhanced accountability: Access logs offer transparency and peace of mind.
  • Adaptability: Scalable systems like Avigilon Alta can grow with the facility’s needs.
