MACS - Mantra Access Control System

Why MACS

Built for Enterprises That Demand Unified Control

MACS brings together every access, identity, and operations module under one platform - eliminating the integration overhead, data silos, and vendor sprawl that come with multi-product security deployments.

Enhanced Security

Scalable & Customisable

Adapts to the needs of small businesses and large enterprises alike. Multi-company and multi-location support with entity-level access profiles.

Cloud & On-Premise Deployment

Supports both cloud and on-premise options - including client cloud and Mantra-managed cloud - giving enterprises full control over their data residency.

Seamless Integration

Works with existing security infrastructure and enterprise applications - HR systems, ERP, CCTV, and payroll - via REST API and standard connectors.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

What enterprise decision-makers ask before deploying MACS.

Solution Inquiry 079-49068001

Can MACS modules be deployed individually?

Every MACS module is designed to operate independently - you can start with just Access Control or just Visitor Management, and add modules over time as your requirements evolve. When multiple modules are active, they share a common employee database, device management layer, and reporting infrastructure.

Does MACS work with our existing biometric devices?

MACS is designed for compatibility with a broad range of biometric hardware including fingerprint readers, face recognition terminals, RFID card readers, and QR code scanners. A site survey is included to identify which devices can be retained.

How long does a MACS deployment take?

A single-site deployment typically goes live within 3 to 5 weeks, including hardware installation, software configuration, employee data migration, enrollment, and user training.

Can MACS integrate with our SAP or Oracle HR system?

Yes. MACS provides RESTful API integration with SAP HR, SAP S/4HANA HCM, Oracle HCM Cloud, Oracle E-Business Suite, and major Indian HR platforms including Keka and GreytHR.

What support is available after deployment?

Mantra offers Annual Maintenance Contracts (AMC) tailored to each scale. Standard AMC includes quarterly preventive maintenance, remote monitoring, and next-business-day response.
