Visitor management is an integral part of welcoming visitors, contractors and staff into a workplace safely and efficiently. A self-service visitor management system implemented well can not only be a dynamic tool for your business, but it can also be a welcoming way to greet your visitors.
Self-service visitor management kiosks allow workplaces to keep track of who is in the building for safety and security purposes at all times. They can announce visitor arrivals to specific staff members as they check-in, without the need for any assistance from staff. They can also track and trace vaccination status as needed, check inductions are complete if necessary and allow for a considerable improvement in business tracking from the manual tracking systems of the past, with up to the minute data accessible at all times.
The ability to welcome visitors efficiently by using up to date visitor management software paired with the right self-service visitor management kiosk can significantly improve workplace safety and reduce time spent manually logging visitor arrivals and keeping track of who is located within the premises at all times. Seamless check-ins can help reduce queues for visitors without the need for staff intervention as most visitors are completely comfortable and able to use them.
How can visitor management improve efficiency?
We have seen many businesses use tablet technology to help visitors check in to a location, recording vaccination status and log visit times. However, with some applications, the ability to improve efficiency with visitor management exceeds the expectations of businesses by taking it to the next level.
For some, a simple check-in and vaccination check may be all that is required. For others, the ability to monitor inductions, permits and announce visitors to the correct staff members within a building automatically can enhance the whole experience for all involved, while improving efficiency.
The Sprocket X tablet stands include the option to integrate a label printer, and sanitising station alongside your tablet. This combination allows the ability to use chosen applications that will check visitors in seamlessly and announce arrivals to the person who is expecting a visitor. It can enable those visitors to safely check-in and print a visitor label/badge instantly and safely with sanitiser ready to go between uses.
By having visitor labels printed in-house staff can easily identify visitors as they work within and around the premises. This is great for safety around the workplace and helps improve the comfort of employees within the workplace by allowing staff to easily identify visitors. By putting systems in place to assist visitors check-in independently, the in-house staff can instead meet and greet, while visitors manage their own check in to the building and announce their arrival through the tablet and technology on hand.
