AMAG Technology's Symmetry mobile app supports return to work

HAWTHORNE, Calif.—AMAG Technology, a G4S company, expands Symmetry Mobile functionalities to support return-to-work strategies for businesses as they reopen. The added features provide additional controls for a person’s access to corporate sites and facilities, in addition to more screening questions to help reduce the risk of potentially infected employees accessing corporate sites.

“Symmetry Mobile provides an easy-to-use return-to-work remote technology solution that provides an actual hard barrier to entry if a person fails to meet their company’s required screening questions,” Howard Johnson, AMAG Technology President, said in the announcement. “By recording every person’s answer, Symmetry Mobile also provides an audit trail, which helps companies remain in compliance with governing authorities while keeping employees safe.”

With Symmetry Mobile, employees can be required to complete a return-to-work questionnaire on their smartphone. Upon successful completion, their physical access card or mobile credential will be enabled for a specified period of time. However, if not completed successfully, the access card will expire and the employee will not be able to enter the facility.

The return-to-work questionnaire’s functionality within Symmetry Mobile operates independently from the access control readers and can be used on virtually any existing Symmetry Access Control system installation — without any local infrastructure changes. Symmetry Mobile also operates with Symmetry Blue Bluetooth readers, supporting organizations that are transitioning to a fully mobile access control solution. Organizations can phase the readers in to minimize disruption while modernizing the user experience, increasing flexibility and security, and creating a safer onboarding environment.

The app is available in English, Spanish, French and Arabic.
