As employees, contractors, and visitors are now being allowed back into buildings, streamlining the hardware and software required to manage access can minimize person-to-person contact and speed up processes and procedures to meet new organizational requirements.
Visitor management systems and mobile credentials can help meet the new expectations for a safer and more efficient workplace.
Pre-registration
By having visitors and contractors pre-register prior to arrival, much of the in-person interaction previously required in the lobby can be avoided. The visitor can simply login to a simple online interface or use a mobile app to provide information in advance.
Notifications
When a visitor who has pre-registered in the visitor management system arrives for the appointment, the host employee is automatically notified, eliminating the need to check-in with the front desk.
Visit Approvals
With new policies, processes, and procedures in place that are designed to reopen workplaces, approving visitors prior to arrival is essential to keeping your team healthy.
By using a mobile device to gain access to a secure facility or area, many supplies and procedures are eliminated. This saves time and money while keeping unnecessary interactions minimized.
Rather than issuing a card credential or FOB, a mobile device can act as the credential. The app on the mobile device acts as the credential, allowing the authorized person to approach a secure door and unlock it using technology built in the mobile device, like Bluetooth, or a QR code. This enables your team to begin or terminate access by an employee or visitor without having to issue a card or retrieve their expired card.
Additionally, since no one moves too far from their phone throughout the day, the loss of cards or keys is no longer a security risk or administrative challenge. Odds are that the phone is right where it needs to be, in their pocket, when it’s time to gain access to the building, office, or secure area.
Visitor management systems can efficiently collect and manage the information required to keep people moving in and out of the building safely and efficiently. Mobile credentials enable simplified credential management and streamline entry procedures for authorized users.
