Contractor Onboarding & Site Access

Overview

Capture Iqama, Saudization category, and safety induction at the gate house in a single pass — and link the credential to the contract end date so access expires automatically. Biometric site entry that survives dust and gloves replaces shared cards and paper sign-in sheets across multi-site Saudi construction projects.

Challenges

  • Paper logbooks cannot prove who was on which site at any given moment
  • Shared cards and lent IDs make contractor identity unverifiable at the gate
  • Safety induction completion is tracked on spreadsheets that nobody updates in real time
  • Contractor access lingers after the contract ends because credential expiry is manual

Benefits

  • Audit-ready contractor presence records meeting Aramco vendor-list expectations
  • Time-bound credentials that auto-expire on contract end date
  • Safety induction completion enforced as a precondition for site entry
  • Civil Defense-ready emergency muster lists in minutes, not hours

Access Control Solution

2 Bundles

Access control is the most audited surface of any building. Every door, every elevator, every gate becomes evidence — who entered, when, with what authorization, and whether the rules held when nobody was watching. IPTech deploys Matrix COSEC for access control across Saudi sites because the platform is built for that audit-by-default reality, not retrofitted to it. The system scales from a single office to multi-site enterprises with up to 65,000 door controllers and one million users on a single platform. Credentials mix freely — biometric (face or fingerprint), card-based (RFID), PIN, or mobile (BLE / NFC / QR) — so each door uses what fits the user and the threat model. The policy engine handles the corner cases that catch most operators out: First-In User so a zone cannot open until an authorized opener is present, Anti-Passback so one credential cannot be tailgated, Man-Trap for two-stage authentication on high-security rooms, 2-Person Rule for dual control, time-windowed zone access, and route-based access. When a rule trips, real-time alerts go to SMS, email, or WhatsApp. Where Matrix integrates is where most projects break: fire alarm, video surveillance, turnstiles, boom barriers, and tripods. When the fire alarm trips, doors unlock and cameras start recording — automatically. Emergency mustering headcount becomes a derived fact, not a manual call-around. Door events sync to CCTV streams. The HRMS gets the same user identity the door reader saw. IPTech deploys this either as a cloud platform (COSEC VYOM on AWS, 99.95% uptime, no on-site infrastructure) for sites that want zero server overhead, or on-premise (COSEC CENTRA) for sites with data-residency requirements. Both run the same modules — we pick the deployment to fit your network and compliance posture, not the other way around.
