As healthy buildings become the new industry standard, especially as the world battles the COVID-19 virus, the present and future of every building should begin with a no-touch visitor management system.
Greetly is a modern visitor management system that implements “no-touch” visitor check-in. 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. This way guests, residents, and employees can enter their home or workplace hands-free and be even more secure from spreading the virus. 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 soon 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 eSigning legal documents. When the process is complete, hosts will be notified.
