How does it work?
A visitor management system is a self-service system or a sign-in Kiosk that lets visitors to your business sign-in and their hosts notified by email or SMS.
A typical scenario, let us say, is a visitor arrives at your business and walks up to the Sign-in Kiosk or iPad located at the front desk. Once there he selects the softkey labelled Check-in displayed on the iPad and fills in the form with information like name, company and selects their host. The sign-in system will then send the host a notification of the guest’s arrival and print a name badge for the visitor to display. This completes the process of Guests signing in and the host is notified.
The visitor management system has the following components:
- The software usually Saas needing a subscription
- Mobile device application
- Hardware (iPad) to display the mobile device application that visitors use to fill in their details
- Label printer to print out name badges
How many visitors can check-in in a day?
There are many visitor management systems with daily limits on the number of visitors your business can check-in in a day. The minute you exceed this allowance, you are charged significant amounts for the next level of subscription to meet your real needs. The sales process is to sell you the cheapest plan and then over time increase these costs. Not a great way to win clients in our opinion!
Ezy Signin has no limits on the number of visitors you can have in a day, and we work hard at the beginning to ensure that you implement the right plan for your business.
Always ask questions and read the fine print.
Sign in App for the iPad / Android
Most visitor management systems require hardware to display the front end of the application that a visitor interacts with when signing in. Ezy Signin’s front end application is Free of cost and is available for download from the IOS app store. We do not offer an Android front end; however, if this is a requirement, please get in contact with us.
iPad less Version
We at Ezy Signin realise that any system customers implement to manage visitors during COVID-19 is an unplanned and unbudgeted cost on the business. To this end, Ezy Signin has taken its visitor management system a step further, and we now offer an iPad less solution. We are keeping costs low.
Contactless QR code-based check-in/check-out (with an iPad)
For a contactless system, customers can use Ezy Signin’s QR code displayed on the iPad. To activate the contactless feature login into your customer dashboard and switch on the QR codes. Once done, the QR codes are displayed on the iPad. One code for checking in and one for checking out further simplifying the check-in & check-out process. Make your guests feel welcome! The best part is that you can be up and running within minutes. Try our FREE 14-day trial and see the difference it makes to your business and visitors’ experience.
Contactless QR code-based check-in/check-out (iPad not required)
For a contactless iPad, fewer solution customers can use Ezy Signin’sprinted QR based system. First, using the inbuilt QR code generator generate the QR code. Next, please print out the QR code and display it in an area that is visible to all people coming and going. Provide simple instructions to scan the QR code and complete the check-in or Registration Process. Making Ezy Signin’s visitor management system the most affordable and the smart option to keep a record of all people in and out of your business.
QR Code Generator
Ezy Signin has an inbuilt QR Code generator. Customers can log into the dashboard and activate the feature to display the QR code on an iPad. If you don’t wish to use an iPad, you can generate a QR code, print it out and display it at the front desk.
Each location will have a different QR code. Your staff members linked to each location will appear in the search bar.
Email Notifications
How are hosts notified when they have a visitor? Ezy Signin’s inbuilt email system will generate a notification email advising the host that their visitor has arrived and is waiting to meet with them.
We recommend the use of SMTP for sending all emails. This way, emails are generated from your internal system and make for a professional look and feel.
SMS Notifications
Can we use SMS/Text messages instead of email? With Ezy Signin’s optional SMS module, you can send notifications via text messages. You can have both email and SMS working together, or you can have either one. An additional benefit of using SMS is that the visitor can check-out directly from their phone without having to return to the point of entry.
Multiple Locations
Most companies nowadays have more than one facility and it is reasonable to ask can a solution like Ezy Signin be installed across all of the company’s offices, warehouses, manufacturing facilities, and distribution centres? And can all of this be set up from one central point, or do we have to set up each facility individually? Fair questions! To make it as easy as possible, to help you manage and modernise all your locations, Ezy Signin developed a single dashboard that allows you to manage all your business locations. This single dashboard makes it very easy to install and manage Ezy Signin’s visitor management solution across all your sites.
Employee check-in
Can we use this system for employee sign-in and sign-out? The simple answer is yes! With Ezy Signin’s optional employee sign-in/sign-out module, you can track and keep a record of when your employees sign-in and sign-out. If required to do so, we can even integrate with your payroll system. Ask us!
Couriers & Deliveries
How about managing couriers and deliveries? The short answer is. Yes, create workflows to manage couriers and deliveries.
Once a courier arrives, and sign’s in Ezy Signin will notify the appropriate person/dept.
We are making sending parcels and receiving deliveries a breeze without disrupting any other business unit.
Contractor Management
We would like to know and notify the appropriate person or business unit when we have contractors on site is this also possible with Ezy Signin? Yes, we can build custom workflows to meet your specific contractor management requirements.
When a contractor arrives, and signs-in the relevant person or business unit, e.g. the mailroom, facilities manager, the warehouse manager or any other person, is notified. The contractor can then be met by the right person and taken to the right area so that they can start their work without delay; this will help save time and money especially if the contractor is charging by the hour.
