BlueWave Security provides America's largest department store chain with flexibility, scalability, and cost savings in a national, unified access control solution.

Macy's had multiple, disparate access control solutions for their 840 retail stores nationwide, each managed separately by regional managers and their staff. There was no consistency across regions or corporate-level access control policy. Nor was there insight into regional access practices. Additionally, thousands of labor hours were expended annually to add, change, delete and maintain user credentials and systems costing Macy's many tens of thousands of dollars annually. Macy's needed a unified, corporate-level access control solution that would 1) eliminate labor costs associated with regional management of various access control systems, 2) integrate seamlessly with the company's enterprise information systems, and 3) manage existing third-party access control hardware and software systems in order to reduce one-time conversion costs.
