The challenge
Balancing security and convenience for the employee experience
Having embarked on a journey to overhaul its physical security infrastructure in 2014, Red Bull chose Nedap’s on-premises access control, AEOS. At the time, it was a fresh start for the future of Red Bull’s physical security management.
Fast forward to today…
Red Bull wanted to offer its employees an even better workplace experience and further strengthen its security while providing convenience at employees’ fingertips.
What they did
Giving employees the technology they asked for
Notably, the company achieved a significant milestone as one of the first companies in Europe to launch Employee Badge in Apple Wallet powered by Nedap Mobile Access.
In fact, this very technology was by far the most requested feature asked for by Red Bull’s employees. Employees valued how fast they were able to access their spaces and resources, and how convenient and easy the solution was to use.
End-users of Nedap Mobile Access aren’t the only ones to reap the benefits of this technology. Find out what Red Bull physical security team was able to do as a result of the launch…
"It’s always exciting to introduce new technology, but most of the time it isn’t visible to the end-user. With Nedap Mobile Access, it’s completely different—it immediately affects employees and there’s a direct impact on them. Plus, the iPhone or Apple Watch is a very personal device and so, employees’ reactions to receiving their mobile passes were overwhelmingly positive."

What’s next
The future of Nedap Mobile Access at Red Bull
Red Bull sees mobile access as a foundational building block for smarter and more secure workspaces for its people. Although Nedap Mobile Access is a brand-new addition to the employee experience at Red Bull, its Global Physical Security Manager sees the potential for a lot more use cases in the future.
In fact, there are projects already being worked on and future projects to come. Especially important is the ability to add additional value to the system/platform by bringing access control data into other business use cases where digital badges create a better user experience.
“Red Bull is ahead of the game by bringing mobile access to its employees. It’s all about making life easier and safer for everyone involved. As one of the first European end-to-end Apple Wallet providers, Nedap is excited to enable Red Bull’s employees smooth access with Nedap Mobile Access. It’s convenience and security in one cool swipe."
