Much has changed in visitor management procedures and policies since the days of entering a visitor’s name in the log book and slapping on a sticky badge with a handwritten name on it. Often, visitors were not even asked for identification, and there was no way to track or confirm if or when they left the building.
Given the current state of affairs around the world, the need to manage and monitor visitors has become a high security priority at most facilities and manual visitor enrollment systems have been replaced by state-of-the-art visitor management systems.Thesesophisticated systems provide necessary and added security functions for protecting employees, assets and buildings by confirming a visitor’s identification, compiling relevant information that could impact their visit or the organization and allowing true, real-time system integration, among other benefits.
