WTC Amsterdam enhances security and efficiency with digital access solution

The World Trade Center (WTC) Amsterdam, home to over 300 companies, has upgraded its building security with a streamlined, digital access solution from ASSA ABLOY. The facility, offering more than just office space, also hosts onsite amenities such as childcare, a gym, a physiotherapy clinic, and other services. With hundreds of contractors and service providers passing through daily, WTC’s building managers sought a more efficient, modern access system to improve operational control and oversight.

To address the logistical demands of managing access for staff, contractors, and suppliers, WTC Amsterdam transitioned from traditional mechanical locks to ASSA ABLOY’s eCLIQ digital access solution. The wire-free system simplifies installation across 1,000 doors, swapping existing mechanical cylinders for eCLIQ smart locks that work with battery-powered user keys, each with a typical lifespan of 10 years.

Sander Borggreve, Facility Manager at WTC Amsterdam, noted the substantial savings and operational efficiency gained through the digital upgrade. “Providing wired access control to all these doors would have been a massive, costly undertaking. The eCLIQ solution meets our needs for flexibility and simplicity.”

The eCLIQ system also offers advanced scheduling and security features, granting and revoking temporary access permissions with ease. Authorised team members can retrieve keys from a Traka key management system and program them via the eCLIQ Wall Programming Device, specifying access permissions by time and location.

The new system has delivered operational improvements, reducing the Total Cost of Ownership by enhancing insights into usage patterns. This data informs more efficient scheduling of maintenance and services, reducing downtime and improving tenant satisfaction. “eCLIQ works seamlessly in practice,” says Rutger Barendse of D&B The Facility Group, WTC Amsterdam’s security provider. “My team is very satisfied with the system’s ease of use.”

As WTC Amsterdam continues to prioritise both security and operational efficiency, the eCLIQ system provides the flexibility and control necessary to support its busy and diverse tenant base.
