Case Study: First Presbyterian Church saves 5+ hours weekly and automates facility access with Brivo

First Presbyterian Church Eases Facility Management with the Cloud

First Presbyterian Church in Douglasville, GA faced a manual lock-and-key access control system that required facilities staff to spend hours each week—previously more than a full weekday (8+ hours)—manually scheduling HVAC and door access. To modernize operations and improve safety and member experience, the church implemented Brivo’s cloud-based access control in partnership with eSPACE for integrated remote management.

Brivo’s integration with eSPACE allowed staff to manage HVAC and door schedules remotely and quickly, reducing door-scheduling time by at least five hours per week and enabling managers to handle schedules in under 15 minutes a week. The Brivo solution freed the operations team to focus on ministry and other priorities, improved facility safety and member experience, and removed the need to hire additional personnel for locking/unlocking and HVAC maintenance.
