Bucharest's premier office complex.
30 tenants. One embassy. Zero friction.

Hermes Business Campus is one of the most advanced and modern office buildings in Bucharest. Developed by Atenor, it offers approximately 72,000 m² of office and retail space across three buildings — designed to meet the demand of national and international companies.

The project was awarded BREEAM 'Excellent' environmental certification — the highest rating for sustainable construction, spatial flexibility, and energy efficiency.

All tenants and their guests needed a parking solution that was fast, efficient, and user-friendly — with minimal disruption to the end user. The owner prioritized security, especially with the Embassy of the Netherlands on the premises, and smooth traffic flow to avoid congestion during peak office hours.

Business Campus

Four access points. 30 tenants.
Every plate recognized on the go.

Hermes Business Campus is home to over 30 tenants, anchored by renowned international companies including Genpact, Luxoft, DB Schenker, Idea Bank, Lavalin, Xerox, Litera Publishing House, and the Embassy of the Netherlands.

The integrators from ROLF were chosen to implement the security measures together with Metrici for access control. The entrance is secured at four access points, each monitored by a dedicated camera.

The planning, camera placement, and technique were crucial to implementing the best possible performance. The building administration uses the Metrici Interface at full capacity — it fits their needs perfectly.

The tenant management feature was particularly important. Each company renting space at Hermes was allocated a set number of parking spaces. Tenants can manage their own whitelists and blacklists, adding the license plates they need based on their requirements. The administrator also has alarm settings for unauthorized vehicles or cars that overstay their welcome.

Parking Access Flow

Step by Step · From approach to exit

The system operates across four access points, each with its own LPR camera and barrier. Tenants are recognized in motion — no stopping required.

STEP 01

Vehicle Approach

As a vehicle approaches any of the four access points, the LPR camera captures and reads the license plate in motion.

STEP 02

Plate Verification

Metrici checks the plate against the tenant whitelist. If recognized, the barrier opens automatically — no stopping required.

STEP 03

Entry Logging

The event is recorded in the database with a photo, timestamp, and tenant association. Real-time occupancy is updated instantly.

STEP 04

Stay Monitoring

The system tracks how long each vehicle remains inside. Alarms trigger for vehicles that exceed their allowed stay duration.

STEP 05

Tenant Self-Management

Each tenant manages their own whitelist and blacklist — including temporary guest access, optionally via SMS through the Metrici interface.

STEP 06

Exit & Analytics

On exit, the vehicle is logged again. The administrator has full visibility: current occupancy, tenant breakdown, and available spaces.

The underground parking entrance faces an East-West orientation — a situation Metrici typically advises against for LPR due to direct sunlight glare. Despite this challenging condition, detection performance remains near-perfect, with glare, reflections, and blind spots having no impact on overall accuracy.

Frictionless access.
Even at rush hour.

Traffic flows in and out without jams or stops — even during peak hours when hundreds of cars enter or exit within a short window.

🚗

Zero-stop entry for recognized tenants

Tenants don't need to stop — the barrier opens automatically upon plate detection, even in motion.

🔒

Enhanced security with embassy-grade access control

Whitelist/blacklist management, unauthorized vehicle alarms, and overstay alerts ensure continuous security.

📊

Full real-time occupancy visibility

At any moment, the administrator knows how many vehicles are inside, how long they've stayed, and which tenant each belongs to.

🏢

Tenant self-management

Each tenant manages their own vehicle lists — including temporary guest access, optionally via SMS notification.

The integration proved especially successful given the on-site challenges: the underground parking entrance faces East-West, a situation Metrici typically advises against for LPR due to direct sunlight glare. Yet detection performance remains near-perfect — proving the system's resilience even in suboptimal conditions.

When tenants evaluate an office building, cost and location are followed in preference by flexibility, functionality, and responsiveness. Metrici delivers on all three — with security built into every layer.
