Leading retailer of musical instruments and music equipment, Gear4music, has specified ievo ultimate™ and micro™ for dual internal and external security. Gear4music serve over 200,000 customers from their warehouse and store located outside of York. Having specified Robinsons Integrated Solutions of Harrogate to manage their refurbishment over a six month period, they requested a highly accurate, fast and advanced system to log time & attendance of employees and control multiple door access.

Robinsons demonstrated and tested a number of different solutions to Gear4music, but eventually decided on the ievo ultimate™ and micro™ for dual internal and external security. The ievo® biometric fingerprint readers proved to be the fastest and most accurate of the options presented, and were also the only system to provide seamlessly embedded integration into Paxton Net2 for access control.

14 ievo® biometric fingerprint readers were used in total, comprising of both the ultimate™ and micro™ for internal and external use. The robust ultimate™ reader was used for mainly external doors and the warehouse, where the product would be exposed to weather conditions and also dirt or dust on users prints.

Daniel Drogie, IT Manager, Gear4music, said "We found that ievo® provided the most reliable option for us, because with so many registered employees we needed a solution that could handle a high footfall of users. Combined with expert installation from Robinsons, our complete access / time & attendance system is now manageable in-house and has proven to be very effective for HR and payroll.”
