The bar codes on the badges can be linked with digital security system, to only allow certain people into locked doors and blocked off spaces.

You can keep unwanted solicitors out, along with people that don't have any reason to be there, or to park in your employee parking area.

You can have badges that are color coded by the area where each employee works, with pictures so you can be sure that the face matches the name on the badge, and badges that even have shop workers shift schedules on the back. There are a lot of ways you can customize the badges that you order, and getting digital badges for all the people that work for you is something that should be prioritized to get organized around your commercial property.
