We have recommended and worked alongside OLS for the benefit of numerous businesses across South Yorkshire. As a family business, it is important to us that any business we recommend works to the same values as us, with a customer-first, technology-second mentality. In OLS we have that, and we look forward to working more with them in the future

The Challenge
In 2021, Kat Communications approached OLS on behalf of Scunthorpe Office Rental to replace an ageing Bewacom BM3 audio-only door entry system. The existing solution relied on legacy technology and offered limited functionality, making it increasingly difficult to support and manage.
The goal was to introduce a modern, reliable system that would improve site security, provide visitor verification through video and audio, and offer remote management capabilities.
The Solution
The Solution
OLS designed and installed a cloud-based video intercom and access control solution, enabling tenants to view, communicate with, and grant access to visitors remotely via a mobile app. The new platform also delivered improved reporting, enhanced security, and a far better user experience than the previous system.
Ongoing Support
What began as a system upgrade has developed into a trusted long-term partnership. Since the installation in 2021, OLS has continued to support Scunthorpe Office Rental through annual preventative maintenance visits and responsive technical support.
Regular maintenance helps ensure the system remains secure, reliable, and operating at peak performance, while ongoing support provides peace of mind for both site management and tenants.
The Result
More than five years after the initial project, Scunthorpe Office Rental remains a valued OLS customer. The modern access control system continues to deliver reliable performance, enhanced security, and a seamless visitor experience, supported by OLS's commitment to long-term customer care.
