Case Study: United Drug achieves granular, time-based hierarchical access control and anti-passback protection with acre security

United Drug Gets ACT Treatment

United Drug, a long-established pharmaceutical wholesaler, needed to tighten site security by restricting access to specific areas at certain times according to employee job profiles and to encourage better working practices. acre security addressed this challenge using the ACTenterprise access management platform together with ACTpro hardware (ACTpro 1030e/1040e readers and ACTpro 4000 controllers).

acre security implemented multilayer controls including surface- and flush-mounted proximity readers, ACTpro 4000 two-door controllers expandable to 16 doors via ACTpro door stations, cabinet-level access control, and universal anti-passback across controllers. The solution enabled the stringent hierarchical access rights United Drug required, protected sensitive materials, prevented unauthorized entry through enforced badge-out rules, and extended coverage across multiple doors and areas—delivering improved compliance, accountability, and reduced risk.
