Technology Companies and Startups Thrive With Visitor Management
Award-Winning Customer Check-in Technology
As a technology company, the safety of your staff and intellectual property is paramount to your success. With Greetly handling visitors, you can safeguard your workspace while also offering a smooth and welcoming check-in experience for visitors. But an effective visitor management system does even more for your business…
When guests enter a Greetly-hosted reception area, we streamline check-in which can include ID scanning, NDA electronic signature capture, badge creation, and more. Why is this valuable? Because when visitors move through a check-in experience with speed, accuracy, and privacy, their first impression is that they’re entering an organization that’s run with efficiency and security. Your visitor system, entirely overlaid with your brand, welcomes them, and the ease of the check-in experience then strengthens your brand. From a client considering a sale to a candidate choosing employment, from a vendor interested in a partnership to a VC firm analyzing your company for funding – the strength of your brand holds importance – and first impressions are at the door of your business.
When check-in is complete, your host is notified and can welcome your visitor with assurance because of the safety measures inherent in the Greetly process. The system not only logs the visitor’s entry but can also check a visitor’s name against a watchlist and verify visitors through government IDs. Giving your staff that peace of mind allows them to confidently interact with visitors, leading to more positive communication between parties.
Your company further benefits from the ability to collect check-in data, allowing you to build a visitor database that can be used in several ways, including the cultivation of relationships that may lead to business growth. You can also automate follow-up communications to ensure you don’t lose important connections, reduce contact information errors that often result from paperwork, and analyze visitor trends, leading to strategic initiatives.
Greetly is a better way to greet visitors – and a better way to promote, conduct, and grow your business.
