Our visitor access control software has become one of the essential resources to ensure security in a wide range of facilities and workplaces.
Although the question may seem obvious, from a security viewpoint organizations should start off by asking themselves what exactly a visitor to a company is: a person who, despite not being a staff member, has occasional access to its facilities.
From this perspective, the relevance is clear of having access management software that can automate and handle these situations: visitors should have a different access level than the rest of the organization. Further, the company must have the ability to keep a record of these visits, to prevent future problems or issues.
What is the visitor log? How do I track all visitors? And, what role does the software play to monitor visitors’ access in all of these processes?
Based on our extensive experience with access control systems, we share all the key points of the possibilities currently available for visitor management software.
What does visitor access control consist of?
Monitoring the access of visitors encompasses all operations aimed at managing the entry and exit of visitors from a workplace or facility.
Included in this category are suppliers, customers and all types of collaborators who must occasionally visit a business.
Thus, on the one hand it provides custom permissions based on the needs of the visitor (such as specific entry and exit times) and, on the other, keeping a log of these visits.
Although these processes were once done manually, today they are managed through digitized solutions that include access control software for visitors and the entire infrastructure required for this task.
By using the suitable access control application, their entry can be streamlined (avoiding long waits for example), in parallel with guaranteeing the company’s complete security during the visit (such as defining the areas to which the visitor has access).
The most advanced visitor access management software lets you schedule visits and handle unexpected visitors.
Factors to bear in mind to implement a good visitor tracking system Back
Establish access areas |
Have a clearly-defined policy for visitors |
Companies must first determine the areas to which visitors will have access. They can also restrict all other areas or just those that are particularly sensitive (due to danger, due to containing items that require greater privacy or that are valuable...). |
In addition to studying the different areas to which visitors can have access, we also recommend establishing rules and action protocols. This area would include decisions such as the times during which visitors are allowed and any exceptions (for example, granting access to a worker to fix an emergency problem). |
Choosing the best visitor access management software
The most important features of a high-quality visitor access management software include:
Simple and intuitive to use | |
Ability to automate permissions and, in parallel, personalize them (specifying the date and time of the visit...) and make them flexible | |
Possibility that visitors can use different credentials: card, fingerprint or their own cell phone | |
Visitor log available at all times | |
Control of total occupancy for both employees and visitors | |
Possibility that area managers can preregister their visitors quickly and easily | |
Real-time notifications |
