Matrix COSEC enables flexible management for Viva gym, South Africa

Viva Gym has a vision to roll out a successful fitness model throughout South Africa with approximately 5,000 members per club, as well as innovative, fresh and fun fitness concept with quality finishes and the latest products and designs. They wanted access control solution to be integrated with their KRS gym management software at one of their gym at Hillfox, Johannesburg, South Africa.

Challenges:

  • Need hygienic solution for 4,000 gym members

  • Integration with existing gym management software- KRS

  • Two different types of credentials for different type of members

  • Membership data should be transferred in our software

Solution Offered:

  • RFID card based wireless time-attendance and access control terminal
  • Palm vein based time-attendance and access control terminal
  • Web based server for 1,000 users

Looking at the requirement, Matrix has offered innovative and contactless palm vein based door controller to control the entry of the members. Two COSEC DOOR PVRs are installed at their main entrances and integrated with the turnstile. For physically challenged people, Matrix has installed RFID card based door controller on the third gate to provide easy access for them.

To meet the client’s software requirement in an innovative way, Matrix has integrated COSEC CENTRA with their KRS software using web API. This integration prevents any duplicate entries and saves a lot of time. Further to this solution, KRS software generates a unique PIN for any new member, which allows entry three times without palm verification. Member must enroll their palm by the time for further access. To reduce verification time and increase accuracy, Matrix has offered server based identification for the palm. COSEC CENTRA server identifies and verifies member palm template in less than two seconds and gives accurate result which prevent long queues.

Results:

  • Easy entry for physically challenged people with RF card
  • Accurate access control with turnstile integration
  • Better productivity with KRS integration
  • Proper and accurate member data management
  • Accurate and fast biometric verification with COSEC server
  • Improved security, productivity and efficiency
