TDSi launches major update of GARDiS Software

TDSi has announced the launch of GARDiS Software Version 3.

This software update provides a raft of new features and functionality, along with several new integrations with security platforms, all designed to meet the latest and most prominent needs of security operators, the company claims.

GARDiS 3

• GARDiS 3 introduces a range of enhancements designed to make access control management even more intuitive and efficient and is packed with features designed to streamline operations and save valuable time
• The latest version also includes advanced reporting and setup tools, providing deeper insights into access events and security trends
• Expanded third-party integrations ensure seamless compatibility with a wider range of security and building management systems
• The update also features a new streamlined licensing process which is designed to automatically appear within the TDSi Product Registration Site, allowing for quicker, more secure license activation
• There have been enhancements to many areas of system setup such as Streamlined Controller addition, improved door access configuration and conditional output configuration, all of which are designed to make GARDiS easier to use and faster to deploy
• There is also now the option to add a Multifactor Authentication license module to further enhance system sign-on security

Elsewhere, feedback from Installers and End Users has helped refine many aspects of the user interface, for example it is now possible to automatically import and update people via scheduled uploads and bulk upload credentials, along with allowing additional user info fields to be added.

Also driven by feedback there are several additions to the existing highly customisable GARDiS reporting tools, the Cause & Effect engine now allows the use of equipment effects when creating custom reports and it is also now possible to send reports via CSV, text or email. 

“The biggest upgrade”

Tina Baker, Software Development Manager, TDSi commented, “GARDiS version 3 is the biggest upgrade to our popular secure access platform so far and we are delighted to unveil the full set of exciting new features, which are based on a considerable amount of customer and installer feedback, along with in-depth research and development.

“We believe these new features add considerable additional flexibility, usability and value to our customers in meeting the evolving demands of their security needs,” Baker concluded.
