Demands for ever higher security in multi-tenant buildings, head offices and other types of property are increasingly being met with a combined solution of speed gates and the building’s visitor management system. For most, such a solution would mean an integration between the visitor management system and the property’s access control system – but with CavVisit, the solution becomes much simpler and more cost-effective.
CavVisit and QR readers
CavVisit has its own QR readers that manage access to selected entrances, doors and speed gates. The QR readers are easy to install and are subordinate to the property’s access control system, which has the advantage of keeping visitors’ entry separate from employees’ entry. Another advantage is that this solution costs considerably less than integrating the visitor management system with the company’s access control system.
Access granted via QR codes
CavVisit grants access to its own QR readers – on speed gates, for example – using QR codes. The system sends personal QR codes to both pre-booked visitors and drop-in visitors at the time of registration. The QR code, sent by email or SMS, is used for check-in and also grants access to the building’s speed gates, where the visitor management system’s own QR readers are mounted.
An improved visitor experience
Pre-booked guests receive their personal QR code the day before the visit. On arrival, the visitor simply shows the QR code to the QR reader on the speed gate. The visitor is then both let through the speed gate and checked in to the visitor management system, and the host is notified that their visitor has arrived. The flow is the same for drop-in visitors, except that they receive their QR code when registering at the visitor kiosk. Compared with having to go through reception staff to get a temporary access card or be let in manually, this solution is smoother for the visitor while also relieving the reception staff. Another positive effect is a calmer reception environment for both employees and visitors, as no long queues of visitors waiting to be let in build up. Thanks to CavVisit’s built-in access module, visitors enjoy a professional and pleasant visitor experience.
Improved security
The CavVisit visitor management system, together with its access module and QR codes, is ideal for properties with large numbers of visitors where security and traceability are important. Examples include buildings with many companies as tenants, head offices and manufacturing companies that receive visitors in both offices and production areas. With personal QR codes, the right people get the right access for a limited time, which contributes to higher security, less administration and a smooth visitor experience.
