OLS Connect – Bespoke Integration Platform

At OLS, we’ve developed our own bespoke integration platform—OLS Connect. This custom-built, cloud-native solution is both scalable and flexible, designed to integrate third-party systems across a wide range of operational domains, including:

Access control systems can integrate across multiple business functions—examples include HR, payroll, staff records, visitor management, and building automation. This unified approach allows employees to use a single card or biometric system for secure entry, while automatically updating records, triggering environmental controls, and ensuring accurate payroll—all from one integrated solution.

Access control systems can integrate with HR applications such as staff records and payroll, allowing you to manage building security while automating employee data and pay. Employees use the same access card or biometric system to enter the building and log hours, which links directly to payroll for accurate compensation.

Access control systems can be fully integrated with time and attendance software meaning you can control the access and security of your building at the same time as recording the time keeping and attendance of employees. Employees can use the same access card or biometric reading system to access the building to record their working hours.

Payroll systems can integrate with access control, HR records, and scheduling tools to automate and streamline employee compensation. With linked systems, working hours recorded via access cards or biometrics feed directly into payroll—ensuring accurate, timely pay based on actual time on-site.

Gym management systems can integrate access control with class bookings, member profiles, and automated scheduling. Members are granted entry based on their bookings, allowing seamless access to sessions without manual check-ins. This connected setup streamlines operations, improves member experience, and ensures accurate tracking of attendance and facility usage.

Visitor and contractor management systems can integrate with access control, scheduling, and compliance tools to streamline entry and oversight. Pre-approved bookings automatically grant access at scheduled times, reducing manual check-ins and improving security. All activity is tracked and linked to individual profiles, ensuring full visibility and compliance across your site.

Education management systems can integrate access control with student records, timetables, and class registration. Students are automatically granted access to classrooms or facilities based on their schedules, eliminating manual check-ins. This connected system streamlines attendance tracking, improves campus security, and enhances the overall learning experience.

Booking platforms can integrate with access control, scheduling, and payment systems to automate facility management. Users book meeting rooms, pitches, and courts online, and access is granted automatically at the scheduled time—eliminating manual check-ins and improving efficiency. Attendance, usage, and payments are tracked in real time through a fully connected system.

Facility management solutions integrate systems like access control, energy usage, maintenance scheduling, and space optimisation into one intelligent platform. From automating lighting and climate control to tracking occupancy and triggering service requests, everything works together to improve efficiency, reduce costs, and enhance the user experience across your entire facility.

Ticketing platforms can integrate with access control, scheduling, and payment systems to automate entry and streamline operations. Once a ticket is booked, access is granted automatically at the right time and location—eliminating manual check-ins and improving flow. Real-time tracking of attendance, usage, and revenue helps optimise facility performance, customer experience and occupancy management.

Arena and venue management solutions integrate access control, crowd monitoring, health and safety protocols, and capacity tracking into one intelligent system. Real-time data helps manage entry flow, monitor occupancy levels, and trigger alerts for overcrowding or safety breaches. Automated scheduling and access linked to ticketing ensures smooth operations, while integrated reporting supports compliance and event optimisation.

Parking platforms can integrate with gates, barriers, access control systems, and ANPR to automate entry and enhance security. Once a booking is confirmed, access is granted automatically—whether by number plate, face or badge, or triggering gate entry at the scheduled time. This seamless integration improves flow, reduces staffing needs, and ensures accurate tracking of attendance and facility usage.

Hot desk booking systems can integrate with access control, scheduling tools, and occupancy sensors to streamline workspace management. Employees book desks in advance, and access is automatically granted at the scheduled time. Real-time data on usage and availability helps optimise space, reduce admin tasks, and enhance the hybrid working experience.

CRM and ERP systems can integrate with access control, scheduling, finance, and resource management tools to create a unified operational platform. From managing customer interactions and sales pipelines to automating inventory, billing, and workforce coordination, this integration streamlines workflows, improves data accuracy, and enhances decision-making across the business.

VSS systems can integrate with access control, analytics platforms, and facility management tools to create a unified security and operational infrastructure. From real-time monitoring and incident detection to automated alerts, access verification, and forensic analysis, this integration enhances situational awareness, improves response times, and supports data-driven security decisions. By centralising video feeds, access logs, and event data, organisations can streamline security workflows, reduce manual oversight, and ensure compliance with safety protocols.

The advantages of Access Control Software Integrations

Increase security & efficiency

Ongoing cost savings as less administration for multiple systems
Enhanced security as your data is always up to date
Works with both API & flat integrations

The advantages of Access Control Software Integrations

Yes, you can use smart phones and or Apps with integrated access control systems.

As the integrations service is hosted in the cloud, you can take the system with you if you relocate to new premises.

Subject to testing you can use existing fobs, however, please note this is also dependent on your key requirements around credential security.

Yes, you can increase and decrease the number of doors and users at any time, please note you will need our engineer’s assistance for new door installations.
