A Visitor Management system is a way to organize the guests who visit your school or business in order to prevent violence or to have all their information on a database in case something happens while they are on-site. By processing guests and giving them ID badges at the entrance you increase security. Visitors’ identification cards act as a visual representation that they are permitted on the premises.
It is important to have a visitor management system because you are guaranteeing the protection of your employees, students and members of your organization.
We recommend a visitor management software that keeps a database with all the visitor’s information. A more traditional based visitor management system would be to have a book in which visitors sign in and jot down their driver’s license number. Security can then trade in their driver’s license for a company visitor’s card.
Then the visitors simply wears the badge that identifies them as such. This way security can identify who is registered to be on the premises and escort anyone out if they do not have an employee ID card or visitor card.
If any visitor engages in risky or hostile behavior you can refer to the visitor registration database and pass on the information to the police in order to report them.
Aside from the visitor’s id card every employee must have a photo id badge with a QR code to ensure the safety of the company or school. Photo Id cards facilitate the process of identifying members of the organization and helps the administrator at the entrance of the building recognize who needs a visitors pass.
