Greetly, a fully customizable visitor check-in system, announced it will offer all existing and future clients the ability to leverage no-touch technology for safer visitor check-ins within all types of buildings. Using the no-touch visitor management system, visitors will be able to initiate and complete the check-in process using their own smartphones without having to download any apps or touch any third-party screens.
Traditional visitor management systems run off tablet computers in a kiosk which causes potential risk as visitors are required to touch the kiosk which may have been used by someone carrying coronavirus or another illness. In addition, cleaning a kiosk is not entirely practical and cannot be guaranteed after each and every use.
The welcome screen of the Greetly app will display a QR code (and a URL, both unique to the specific workplace) to initiate the sign-in process. Greetly will make sure visitors are on location before allowing them to begin the check-in process. Visitors will then be able to complete the entire check-in process including finding and selecting their host, entering the required information about themselves, taking a photo, and/or capturing electronic signatures on legal documents. When the process is complete, hosts will be notified. All of this will work exactly as if the visitor had used a kiosk.
