Case Study: Broughton Hall High School streamlines access control with Controlsoft biometric access software

Broughton Hall High School secures 1,750 pupils and 250 staff with Controlsoft

Broughton Hall High School, a Catholic high school in Liverpool with 2,000 students and staff, faced a significant challenge with its previous card-based access system. The process of re-issuing lost or forgotten cards was disruptive, causing students to be late for class and requiring constant staff availability. To solve this, they partnered with Controlsoft to implement a biometric access system using IDEMIA Sigma Lite fingerprint readers managed by Controlsoft's Identity Access Software.

The solution from Controlsoft provided a fast and reliable way for students to gain access using their fingerprints, eliminating the need for physical cards. The school found the enrolment software intuitive and the readers both stylish and effective. As a result, classes are no longer disrupted by late arrivals, and the system has proven its reliability over 12 years of use. Controlsoft also provided excellent training and support, ensuring the school's facility managers could easily administer the system.
