It also keeps track of expected visitors so reception staff can feel in control and prepare for guest’s arrival.
Easy to Audit
Unlike manual records, digital visitor information is more reliable and searchable because is stored in the cloud. You can easily check through your records to confirm exactly what specific staff were doing at a particular time. Because of your visitor information is digital you can audit it with just a few clicks compared to the hours it could take to sort through physical records.
Saves Resources
The initial cost of investing in a visitor management system is offset by the savings your company will make over time. The system eliminates the need for recurring administration costs associated with buying visitor books and sign-in sheets. There are also significant time savings as reception staff will not have to deal with the process of managing every part of the visitor sign in process, allowing them to focus on more critical tasks.

It’s important that you outline the potential hazards within your workplace to employees and visitors, so when you log into VisiPoint for the first time you will be told about the potential hazards in the workplace.
Being health and safety compliant goes a long way in preventing you from unforeseen liabilities as well as being in compliance with occupational safety regulations.
