Almas Industries understands that investing in security can be costly for enterprises. We provide numerous payment choices to meet your financial circumstances, making these advanced security measures more accessible.

Our financing solutions make it possible to stretch the cost of your security and related services over time, making them more reasonable for enterprises of all sizes. Because of our customised solutions and commitment to customer satisfaction, you can have peace of mind knowing that your investment in an access control solution is not just an effective security precaution but also a financially affordable one.

Leasing vs Outright Purchase

We work with outright purchase +/ – maintenance and leasing models. Leasing allows you to spread the cost of your access control system and also wraps maintenance into the monthly payments. Investment in your business’ future proofing of security can also sometimes fall under capital expenditure with related tax allowances.

Access control is only effective if it’s operational! We recommend that our customers choose a maintenance plan and have bronze, silver and gold levels of support contracts for outright purchasing customers.

Contact our team of security experts to discuss the best payment plan for your company and begin reaping the benefits of advanced security today.

No, because we don’t keep a picture of your fingerprint on our database. During enrolement, unique points (called minutiae) on your fingerprint are analysed and mapped. Then these are coded into a binary template using a proprietary algorithm.

Don’t worry, we’ve got your back on this, we will provide support with templates and comms if you need it.

The core benefit of an access control solution is that it ensures your business is secure and that only the right people can gain access to the right areas at the right times.

A reliable access control system eliminates the threats presented by uncontrolled entry points, unauthorised access to sensitive locations, and unsupervised visitor access.

A great access control solution also improves user experience and increases efficiency because it fits the specific needs of your business. It works with the flow of people, vehicles, information and goods through your business to give you greater control, accountability and safety.

Critically, you risk a fine if you use an unlicensed installer in Ireland for access control installation. You can read about how one company was fined here.

However, the key is to realise that this law is actually in place to protect you, PSA licensed installers have to adhere to strict criteria and standards when it comes to installation and service. This, in turn, protects you and your business from poor quality workmanship and means your access control solution will work effectively for you.
