An easy to understand introduction to iOFFICE's visitor management system and how it can help help your business run smoothly and more efficiently.
"Security has really improved. We no longer have solicitors or unexpected guests. We have peace of mind knowing that the only visitors we're going to get are the ones that we expect."
"iOFFICE allows our teams to centrally store and retrieve data, report on data, and quote jobs. This has greatly reduced our issue of losing data and has made us more efficient in servicing our customers."
It’s often the case that office guests—from clients to job candidates—arrive for their scheduled meeting only to line up and wait. With visitor management software, however, these long lines and wait times disappear. Connections to service kiosks and iPads makes it easy for guests to pre-register, with notifications of arrival sent to the appropriate employees. And with these forms saved to the database, it’s possible to create personalized messaging that welcomes back returning visitors.
Whether it’s an overly eager vendor or a competitor looking to get inside information, unwanted visitors are a common issue in the workplace. With manual sign-in sheets at the front desk—the first line of defense against these guests—protecting your employees and other visitors becomes a challenging task. By allowing employees to provide visitor information ahead of time, visitor management systems help avoid this confusion and keep the workplace secure.
The interactions you have with a guest before their visit are just as important as their experience in the office. Thanks to visitor management software, you can start to establish a positive relationship with the visitor before their arrival. With all of the visitor information easily accessible and archived, employees are able to stay on top of any documents or details that should be sent over to guests ahead of time. This not only creates a more personalized visitor experience, but it also helps make the visit a more productive experience.
Regardless of where they are headed, a good chunk of the population relies on apps to guide them from one location to the next. This same technology is beneficial to the corporate space. With a wayfinding system, workplaces can reduce the amount of time visitors spend walking back and forth across campus, helping them effectively navigate through the environment. When used in conjunction with visitor management software, guests have more control over their experience and require less time and help from staff.
Independent contractors and consultants are growing part of the workforce. In fact, over a third of the workforce is part of what’s known as the “gig economy.” Visitor management software streamlines the sign-in process for these individuals, providing them with a badge and an assigned workstation so they can start working right away. What’s also beneficial about visitor management systems is that they store information about other visitors—potentially competitors who could be vying for the same project.
