The Hyde Housing Group manage 50,000 properties across 3,500 apartment blocks in London and across the South East of England, from Peterborough, to Dover, to Southampton.

See how Charnwood Borough Council achieved a fully bespoke solution from CAME Entrotec & CAME KMS to serve nearly 200 residential homes.

There were several site-specific needs, which meant that CAME KMS had to adapt the access control system delivered, since The Wharf was a modern new build development and Clarence House was a retro-fit renovation project.

With over 800 blocks, Cardiff Council (CC) recognised that their communal door access systems were out of date and was proving to be a drain on both time and money for the council.

As a rural district council, Bolsover District Council (BDC) manage around 5000 properties and over the past few years have been looking to reduce their costs whilst maintaining a high level of accommodation for their tenants.

CAME KMS SimpleKey Web, a cloud based communal door fob access solution was piloted in 2013 at several blocks in Leeds and following the successful pilot, it is now being rolled out across the city.

Covering one of the most densely populated areas of the country, London Borough of Lambeth Council includes many of the popular areas of South West London including Brixton, Clapham and Streatham. With a population of over a third of a million people the pressure on the council to deliver services is significant. A key part of these services is the provision of housing across the region.

Warwick District Council had the CAME KMS SimpleKey Web system installed in four of their high rise blocks and one low rise with excellent results.

South Lanarkshire Council recognised that they needed to standardise on a communal door access control solution across all of their homes to ensure that they could achieve a number of objectives.

CAME KMS and CAME Entrotec joined forces with Bamford Doors to manufacture and install a bespoke door entry solution which would significantly update and improve security for over 270 flats.

PA Housing are a provider of social housing with more than 23,000 homes across the Midlands, London and the South East and a range of housing solutions from affordable rent and independent living to shared ownership and outright sale for those in need.

Since initiating the project, half of the blocks have been converted with the remaining ones planned over the next couple of years. The results have been impressive, with a significant reduction in time to add and delete fobs and compile reports on block access activity.

Following detailed discussions, KMS recommended adopting Simplekey Web, their cloud based communal door access solution. This would provide a more efficient way to add and delete fobs, whilst at the same time provide detailed reporting on fob usage.

Due to the flexibility of SimpleKey Web, coaches are allocated fobs, these can then be easily and quickly given access to pavilions for specific times, ensuring teams can uses the facilities when needed.

Following a detailed assessment process, Mosscare identified the CAME KMS SimpleKey Web platform as the right solution.

Working with CAME KMS, they installed their cloud based SimpleKey Web system which allows managers to have instant access from any web enabled device. SimpleKey Web was easy to install and easily integrated with all other communal door entry systems.

Fortis Living have now completed the transition and all their properties are now using SimpleKey Web 4.

CAME KMS’ SimpleKey Web has now been installed across all blocks managed by First Choice Homes Oldham which require access control. The result of the upgrade has exceeded all expectations and has had a significant impact in relation to time saving.

Having reviewed their existing systems and those that were available, Derby decided to switch all 262 of their blocks to the KMS Simplekey Web system.

The results were immediate with the YHN team saving up to 2 hours every time a new fob was needed or deleted. The resulting impact on the productivity of the team has been massive.

Steeles have been so impressed with the impact SimpleKey Web has had, more storage farms are already being planned for the roll out of the system.

CODE, having chosen SimpleKey Web, have a single communal door access control solution throughout their student accommodation.
