From a small-scale business or a global enterprise, you need an adequate visitor management system to monitor the arrival time, departure, and movement of visitors to ensure maximum security and safety of your company’s assets, data, employees, and reputation. In addition to security, a visitor management system is also important for organizing and streamlining the visitors’ workflow.

Factors to Consider

Before you purchase a visitor management system for your company, institute, building, or school, you first need to evaluate your visitor management needs. For instance, an educational institution may want to scan all the visitors against criminal databases whereas a business where a large number of people check in regularly may want to offer a self-service registration system to their visitors.

Here are a few things you can ask yourself;

1. What type of visitor management system you’re currently using and why do you need to upgrade it?
2. What’s the estimated foot count you receive every month/ week?
3. What kind of visitors visits you the most?
4. Benefits of an advanced visitor management system for your business?
5. Do you need to install different workflows for different types of visitors?
6. Do you need to set a system for providing emergency alerts to your visitors?
7. How will you integrate the new visitor management system into your existing system?

Important Features to Look for in a Visitor Management System

1. Make sure your visitor management system features an extensive storage capacity and is equipped with data security features like TLS and HTTPS communication.
2. Your visitor management system should entail a highly advanced privacy policy so your company doesn’t face charges for non-compliance to the privacy laws.
3. Your visitor management system should send you constant notifications regarding the visitors’ check-in and allow you to communicate send important messages to the visitors via an announcement.
4. Make sure your visitor management system helps you make a good impression on first-time visitors. Some important feature includes contactless entry, remote registration, and self-check-in.
