With a stock of over 13,000 apartments and an ambitious new residential development programme, GWW has been helping to make Wiesbaden affordable for a broad range of population groups over more than 70 years. Digital access is helping them meet the needs of the future with confidence and flexibility.
Being the city’s largest provider of housing goes hand in hand with an aspiration to make a measurable contribution to living together in an urban environment.
GWW’s corporate culture
Social involvement is an integral part of GWW’s corporate culture and for its 200 employees
Social, voluntary and civic involvement is an integral part of GWW’s corporate culture and for its 200 employees. To date, multiple projects have been initiated, supported and promoted, focusing on integration, participation and prevention, as well as various dimensions of sustainability.
When digitalising access for their multi-residential housing sites, they sought an easy-to-install solution with devices that work wirelessly and without batteries.
Broad range of devices
To simplify specification and procurement, they searched for a manufacturer able to offer a broad range of devices to protect the entrances, communal and technical doors of all residential buildings.
And of course, for maximum user convenience and inclusivity, door devices must be easy to operate for all age groups.
Manage a multi-residential property from anywhere
The reliable solution is characterised by a robust, compact build with durable and secure components
GWW chose ASSA ABLOY and its eCLIQ electronic locking system, which offers modern management and full flexibility. The reliable solution is characterised by a robust, compact build with durable and secure components.
For users, it’s familiar — working just like a traditional lock and key. All eCLIQ cylinders are wireless and battery-free. Power is supplied by the battery in the key. Thus, doors with CLIQ® cylinders can always unlock without their own power supply.
eCLIQ Connect key
Another major factor in GWW’s choice was that authorisations can be set and changed flexibly in the CLIQ Web Manager, accessible from anywhere with an internet connection. Lost keys can be deactivated immediately. Time and room restrictions can also be defined, to grant cleaning staff access at specific times, for example.
GWW issues different eCLIQ keys depending on user requirements. For example, the eCLIQ Connect key can receive new access authorisations remotely and at short notice: the keyholder simply updates their own key by making a Bluetooth connection between it and their Connect mobile app.
Residential housing management
Greater efficiency helps multi-residence providers to improve their service and boost resident satisfaction
In many multi-residential and ‘multi-family’ housing developments across Europe, digital management is already streamlining daily operations. Greater efficiency helps multi-residence providers to improve their service and boost resident satisfaction.
Digital access becomes a seamless experience for the resident and a reputation enhancer for the housing provider. It delivers both parties a concrete ROI.
Digital access system
With a digital system, managing service providers is also simpler. Each one can carry access credentials that fit their precise time-period and location requirements.
For example, cleaners may be admitted five mornings a week. Their programmable credentials only unlock site doors during this window. Permissions automatically expire after an agreed period, saving building managers time and hassle.
