8 locations across UAE , 10,000 members per location
Challenge:
We met Loren Holland (CEO ) in 2018 whilst when he was embarking on his first location at Al Quoz,UAE. Fast forward 5 years to 8 locations and we just had to get over and be onsite for the full migration from mindbody to Perfect Gym software. The challenge was to keep both systems running side by side at each location whilst we swapped out biometric fingerprint readers and two factor rfid authentication Gantner hardware in exchange for rotating QR codes.
Solution:
We had 42 x Gantner controllers to install, program and configure across all sites and Newland FM3080 scanners which were mounted in metal encsloures on each turnstile.
Each site has a dedicated PC running access server and each controller has an ip address so we configured one turnstile at each location for testing purposes. The key people on the team was Aziz the IT guy for wiring and ip address allocation and Dhelbert the electrician.
The rotating QR code changes every few seconds which prevents sharing and theft.
Outcome:
Reduction of theft, safety and smart arrivals with greater tracking results and analytics. We are seeing an average of between 5k – 9k QR scans per day at each location.
