current security systems. The company also takes a very active approach to education for the benefit of both staff and clients. James elaborates, “We don’t just sell a box. Before we do anything, we look at exactly what it is that the client needs, based on their environment, the people they service or manage, and their current capabilities. If they have systems already integrated, we look at how we can use those to our advantage. And we involve them in that process, so they know how things are running when we get there, and how they will run once we integrate our system. It’s all about simplifying the way our clients do things to improve safety and efficiency, and the more they understand about the process, the better they will be able to take advantage of their new system. And we want to educate about our importance as well; it’s always a continual effort to get people to understand that our intellectual property and our skills are not just about buying a piece of hardware.” As a small private company that is entirely New Zealand owned and operated, CTS values long-term relationships with clients that are built around trust and transparency. Working nationwide from the top of the North Island to the bottom of the South Island, and in between in areas such as Auckland, Wellington, Christchurch, and Queenstown, CTS works directly with clients and through trusted local contractors. Brett shares, “We also have a fantastic relationship with Alvarado Manufacturing US and their market leading Entrance Control products, and with communications manufacturer Zenitel, who manufacture intercoms and public address systems. We are their New Zealand Technology Partner. Partnerships like these are invaluable.” James concludes with his outlook on the future of CTS. “We are making the community and the people in a variety of work environments feel safer and more stress-free when they come to the workplace. And we have the product and MIT Tech Park - Manukau Institute of Technology MIT Tech Park - Manukau Institute of Technology experience to take that to another level for our market, which we will continue to do as the market develops. We are already seeing these changes happen as we build new markets in this country.” CTS is currently developing a plan and working towards establishing themselves as New Zealand’s number one supplier of intelligent communication systems such as intercoms and public address systems, to support their unmatched supply of entrance control systems throughout the country. CTS would also like to extend their thanks to other key suppliers and business partners that have helped them reach their current level of development and market success, including Alvarado, Panasonic, and GDF Logistics. CTS is continuing to progress each day as New Zealand’s number one supplier and source of information for entrance control systems. In the wake of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic and associated security concerns, CTS believes entrance control is a technology all organisations should have at the top of their priority list for managing people’s health, safety and security in the workplace. No matter what the future may hold, senior management is confident in CTS’s ability to continue providing for their clients and ensure the highest level of safety for their staff, patrons, and managed populations.
