Lamson Security Systems

What Lamson Security Systems does

Lamson Security Systems is a Dutch security systems integrator and managed service provider, operating as a division of Lamson Nederland B.V. (founded 1952) and headquartered in De Meern, Netherlands. The company specializes in physical access control, security systems, locker management, and system integration, serving more than 100 enterprise and mid-market customers across healthcare, education, retail, logistics, entertainment, and industrial verticals. Since January 2023, Lamson has been the only Nedap Alliance Partner in the Netherlands, giving it exclusive rights to distribute and implement the Nedap AEOS access control platform (on-premise, hybrid, and cloud-native) domestically. The product portfolio is anchored on Nedap AEOS and the SaaS-based Nedap Access AtWork, supplemented by the LOCKRZ locker management sub-brand, the Xenia gate control platform, the new Multifactor Verified Access Control (MVAC) module (integrating 20Face facial recognition), and iLOQ battery-free smart locks.

The company operates a multi-channel go-to-market combining direct enterprise field sales, a channel partner program (Nedap Lamson Installatiepartners), and a B2B webshop. Revenue is generated through five streams: security consulting (advisory/risk assessment), system integration and implementation services, hardware sales (Nedap controllers, readers, lockers, iLOQ cylinders), software subscriptions (Access AtWork monthly fees), and managed services (hosted solutions from Lamson's own datacenter, maintenance, second-line support). Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed; some hardware carries minimum order quantities and license fees per device.

Strategic positioning centers on being the only Nedap Alliance Partner in the Netherlands, a pragmatic, phased-migration approach that preserves existing customer investments, and best-of-breed integration with third-party systems (SAP, AFAS, Microsoft Dynamics 365, 20Face, iLOQ). The firm maintains GDPR-compliant data handling with EU-hosted cloud infrastructure and emphasizes sustainability and demonstrable ROI through energy-efficient building management integrations. The company is privately held, with no disclosed venture or institutional investment, and operates with an estimated 11–50 employees.
