We also set up the smart cards for access control with specific zone access, the correct access for authorised personnel became one less thing to worry about.

"We use both the smart cards and key fobs; they are so handy. The whole system governs everyone getting in and out of the building and access to only certain areas, which was exactly what we needed."

The Tensor system, as a technological product, is very good. It's modular, very reliable, easy to use and will adapt to the customer's needs.
Howdens
We're quite content about our collaboration with Tensor plc. The company's very approachable, proactive and innovative, and also ready to do everything it can in order to meet the customer's demands

I like the fact that it's an integrated system providing both time management and Access Control.

There's a lot that Tensor CCTV systems can do that other systems cannot. The reporting is excellent. The alerts that you get from doors and cameras are very in-depth, you can get very granular with the alerts that you want.

We had some astronomical quotes from other companies but with Tensor we were getting everything we wanted for a fraction of the price
Fosters Bakery
Because the Tensor Access Control Software allows us to have everything in the Cloud, it means I can access it from anywhere.
XMA Limited
Fit for purpose. It does exactly what you expect a time and attendance system and Access Control system to do
Kinnerton Confectionery
We have the option to use a Key Fob or a pin code, and on the main access gate we can even trigger it using remote control. It gives us flexibility to suit what we need
Master Builders Solutions
The key thing for me about the Tensor system is its robustness. Once you've got it set up, there's very little you need to do. It just works away in the background and collects all the clocking times that we need. In terms of time and attendance and access control, I'd say it's difficult to find a better system.
Mech-Tool Engineering
Director and General Manager
It's easy to use, it has a friendly helpline, and the training was 100% what we needed. Everything that we need is there and anything that we don't have, Tensor can provide for us.

The employees find [the facial authentication] very simple: they just look at the station, it 'bing's and they go. They love it. There's no touching, no fingerprints.
