Paxton has increased its South African regional sales team by adding two new managers. This expansion comes alongside the launch of the Solo cloud-based access control system.
Why it matters
The company is scaling its operations to meet rising local demand for its serverless access control technology. This move strengthens the firm's capacity to support its growing network of installers across the country.
Paxton has added two new regional sales managers to its South African team to support its operations. The newly introduced Solo access control system consists of three distinct components.
