Controlled Products Systems Group is an industry leading distributor of access control products. At the end of 2020 they released their first industry trends report as a way to connect with their customers after so many of them had been affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. Data for the report was collected through a survey and the top trends were then presented in a published report. Interesting graph treatments and editorial layouts were implemented to create a publication that existing customers and the general access control audience enjoyed reading and set the report apart from a run-of-the-mill manufacturer sell sheet.
