What is a visitor management system?
A visitor management system is exactly what it says on the tin, it’s a way for your business to keep track of visitors and staff that are entering your business premises. Although, they have a lot more features than just that.
You can use visitor management systems to track where your visitors are, create custom visitor badges and much more.
What are the ways it can improve your business security?
Visitor management systems can have an incredible impact on the security of your business premises and can help you to keep track of the people inside, which comes in very handy if there’s an emergency! An invaluable tool to have at your disposal, especially for schools and healthcare campuses.
Visitor badges
Visitor badges give your staff a way to easily identify people inside your business within seconds. Visitor badges can be customised to include the visitors name, job title, visit date and don’t forget your business branding and logo. Visitor badges can also include an identification picture so you can easily identify the holder of the badge and ensure it is the person it was assigned to.
Access control
Visitor management systems have a range of handy access control solutions including scannable additions to your visitor badges. This could be applied by only allowing visitors access to the department they’re visiting and won’t allow them access to other parts of the building.
Emergency evacuations
In an emergency situation, it is important to know exactly who is in the building in real time. Visitor management systems allow you to see who has signed in and out and allow you to track where visitors are in the building. In the event of an emergency, a visitor management system can allow you to mark everyone in the building as safe.
