"Only proprietary hardware is linked to our corporate network !"
Plant manager Pieter Vandamme invited us for a difficult conversation. SHV Group is a very large Dutch diversified family concern.
On the one hand, Trouw Nutrition Gent wants to take the flight forward in terms of professional visitor registration and guest reception but, on the other hand, the central IT arm is looking at this issue at group level to avoid potential network risks due to individual local projects.
It was decided that working together was the right choice. Gatehouse visitor registration was the right product (personalised kiosk, intuitive app, smooth evacuation tool, archiving, multichannel notification of hosts, etc.)
Although Gatehouse only uses the internet connection through 1 port in each customer's firewall, this risk was also neutralised in collaboration with their IT department. Gatehouse researched and found a solution by connecting a 4/5G router with dataSIM and physically building it in the kiosk with an outdoor antenna. This router connects to the internet via the GSM masts. This way, any hacking through Gatehouse is excluded.
Gatehouse's flexibility is much appreciated in large enterprises !
