Link: Professional visitor mangement

 

Limitations of free version:

 

You cannot print parking permits

It supports just one category for visitors

Only 2 resources/items can be used.

 

I haven't run this past our reception staff yet [i will do that tomorrow] I think they might be interested as we are currently using the pre-printed sign in and tear off strips [like many schools] I think our reception may prefer this.

Looks quite a good system, those paper slips are annoying, I wonder what our reception would think of using this classy system...

[wesleyw]

Yeah looks like a nice system

Anybody used this yet?

[plexer]

Interesting.

 

Who fills out the paper system you have at the moment though? is it the visitor or the receptionist?

 

If it's the visitor doesn't moving to a system like the one shown then give your receptionist another job to do?

 

I'm thinking of a touch screen pc on the reception desk linked to a small dymo label printer or similar on the receptionists side so once the visitor has checked themselves in then a label is printed automatically and handed over to the visitor.

We have a similar system called "flex" which is very flexible and very quick which prints out the ticket then slips into a plastic case with school safety lanyard or crocodile clip depending on the visitors preference.

 

Can be pre-booked in advance and the receptionist has everything ready for mass visits, we did look at a self service but when you have say 20 people in one group having them stand in your reception (Especially when it is only small) can cause overload and the receptionist can get a little irritated by people who do not know how to use the self service system.

 

The days log can be printed off in seconds at just one click of the button and can be transported to a point outside school for identification of visitor's in case of emergency evacuation.

 

Been working well for 4 years now so I guess there are other similar software packages out there possibly even better.
