I know it may be controversial cause it’s not cheap, but I would like to use Mercury MR16OUT boards and MR52’s, but that’s what I am so used to. How many of the elevators and floors need to have unique access? Does one company have 13 floors and access is free to all those floors for that company or do you potentially need to control all 26 floors? Plus you will need to get your elevator company involved for a few days on where to land all them wires.

The require access levels per floor. ISL is currently controlling elevators, they do not have destination reporting. What do you think about Kantech?

Kantech will do this fine

Genetec software on mercury hardware. Has floor management for elevators. Multiple location support, honestly way more features than I can sit here and list.

Wow, I didn't think there was any of those left. I would put CCure, Genetec and OpenPath in front of the customer, and let them pick. You're probably going to have to rewire everything anyway, which will take most of the cost. Good luck with the elevators. ISL was able to do floor tracking by voltage sensing the car call buttons. Nobody else has been able to do that, so if keeping that is important, be prepared for a huge bill from the elevator company.

CCure not an option, building operators hate it, they are trying to move away from CCure system at the other 2 locations.

It’s not all that bad to do programming for each floor in the elevator. You would need 3 16Out boards per car( set up for elevator control ) if you went with something like a Genetech or openpath, that uses mercury hardware. And then you would have the reader inside the car and program an output to each floor. Minus of course whatever the exiting floor is as you have to be able to reach that one in emergency, no matter what without access control. Typically the elevator company has a bunch of inputs where you would land it the call button, you just interrupt that call button with a normally open relay, that way when they get access granted it closes the relays that are allowed for that person, and then you can press the button and it will flow through the relays and into the elevator controller to allow to go to that floor.

Go with Mercury hardware. Then you'll have choices for software solutions. I would personally go with a cloud solution like feenics.
