A prominent Indian multinational financial technology company, headquartered in Noida and offering mobile payment services through QR code payments, Soundbox devices, Android-based payment terminals and online payment gateways, employs a workforce of over 22,000 people across the globe. The company needed a fintech access control system that could unify entry and exit management across every office in the country from one platform.
The Challenge – Managing entry, exit and payroll across a nationwide footprint
The company needed a single system capable of coordinating both employee and visitor access across offices nationwide, with real-time surveillance running through one centralised platform rather than separate office-by-office setups.
Beyond entry and exit, the organisation also wanted its access infrastructure connected to payroll processing, so that attendance data feeding into salary calculations came directly from the same system managing physical access, rather than being reconciled separately across departments.
The Solution – One platform for access, visitors and payroll
Smart-i deployed multi-door access control across all office locations nationwide, bringing employee and visitor management under one centralised software layer. The same platform was extended to handle entry and exit during public holidays and weekends, and connected with the client’s payroll processing so that shift management, leave records, early or late attendance and overtime could be tracked alongside physical access rather than as a separate exercise.
Visitor access was folded into the same enterprise security solutions framework, giving the client full visibility and control over who enters and exits every location, without needing a separate system to manage guests.
The Technology behind the rollout
- smartXS NG plus (4 Door 4 Reader)
Manages up to four doors per unit, supports up to 30,000 users and 60,000 transactions, and integrates with RFID, smart card, PIN and biometric readers, giving the client a biometric security system option at any door where the client wants it without needing separate hardware. - smartSCMD-DUO
Runs the entire deployment from one cloud-based platform, with employee self-service for leave and attendance, automated email, and MIS reporting generated weekly, monthly, quarterly and annually. The same software layer that handles access for fintech companies also carries the payroll and visitor management integration, so the client works from one dashboard instead of switching between systems.
The Outcome – Financial services access control that runs as one system
- Every office nationwide operates under one unified access platform instead of disconnected, location-specific setups.
- Entry and exit continue to be regulated correctly even on public holidays and weekends, without manual intervention.
- Payroll processing draws directly from attendance and access data, removing a layer of manual reconciliation.
- Visitor access is managed through the same platform as employee access, giving the security team one consistent view of who is on-site at any time.
- MIS reports across weekly, monthly, quarterly and annual cycles give the client insight into movement patterns and attendance without pulling data from multiple sources.
In Conclusion
The client now runs entry, exit, visitor management and payroll tracking through a single enterprise access control system, rather than coordinating separate tools across departments and offices. That consolidation carries real operational weight for an organisation processing payments at a national scale, where attendance accuracy and access control both need to hold up without manual patching.
As the company continues to expand its office network, this fintech access control system extends the same way it was built, as one platform growing with the business, not a set of disconnected installations that need to be reconciled by hand.
