Visitor management systems (VMS) provide visibility of your organisation\u2019s visitors and their whereabouts.<\/p>\r\n

<\/p>\r\n

And they\u2019re rapidly gaining popularity.<\/p>\r\n

<\/p>\r\n

It\u2019s no wonder too \u2013 given that they integrate seamlessly with other security solutions, like Genetec or Torus, creating an end-to-end security strategy.<\/p>\r\n

<\/p>\r\n

Let\u2019s examine the ways that integrated visitor management can transform any<\/em> workplace \u2013 including yours.<\/p>

Visitor management systems explained<\/h2>

Establishments once had their visitors speak to a receptionist and fill out a paper form on arrival.<\/p>

They\u2019d have to scribble down their name, host\u2019s name, contact details and time of arrival (at the very least).<\/p>

But this process \u2013 much like any<\/em> manual process<\/a> \u2013 leaves a wide margin for human error. Visitors might approximate their time of arrival or forget to leave their full names.<\/p>

Or they fill in the form correctly, but their handwriting is all but illegible.<\/p>

Inaccuracies of even minutes make it challenging to track visitors and their whereabouts if a security breach occurs.<\/p>

And contact tracing is also difficult with only paper-based data to go on. (Some visitor management systems can even screen for COVID-19 vaccination certificates before someone enters the building.)<\/p>

Manual, paper-based processes are frustratingly slow \u2013 which creates big problems at peak times.<\/p>

Visitor management systems digitise this process at scale. Visitors fill out a digital form on arrival (often on smart tablet such as an iPad) and their data is automatically recorded and stored in a secure database.<\/p>

They only have to do this once \u2013 not for return visits.<\/p>

The benefits of integrated visitor management<\/h2>

According to a report by Markets and Markets, the global visitor-management-system market is set to expand<\/a> to USD $2.3 billion by 2026.<\/p>

Burgeoning changes within workplaces \u2013 like a growing interest in paperless administration<\/a> and tightening safety and security regulations \u2013 are driving this rapid expansion.<\/p>

In isolation, visitor management systems address these issues with ease. But it\u2019s when they are integrated<\/em> with existing software and security solutions that they truly shine.<\/p>
