A cloud-based, integrated visitor management system

When you are responsible for welcoming visitors, you need to be prepared, have a streamlined process, and a full overview, so you can give your guests a white glove experience.

Get off on the right foot, even before visitors arrive with pre-registration in Outlook or Microsoft 365. Integrated in the AskCody Platform, our cloud based visitor management system will automatically send directions and information about the the visit prior to arrival. When guests arrive at the front door of your office, they check in with an elegant touch screen experience or by the receptionist.

The data from their Outlook contact record will autofill the necessary forms, eliminating the need to hand over a driver’s license and negotiate correct spelling. You can automatically print guest badges, and WiFi access for visitors can be sent by email or SMS. And all guests, are pre-registered as part of the meeting invite send from Outlook.

Stay ahead of the workday

Keep an overview and stay in control

We help you keep an overview of expected guests and their check-in time so you can plan your day. You can also see who and how many visitors are in-house today, who will be in tomorrow, or have been in the past. 

Pre-registering guests, automated check-in flows, badge printing, NDA signing, and notifications all help you stay in control.

Digitalize and automate

Automate manual and tedious tasks at the front desk

Set automated confirmations and notifications to help your guests arrive well-informed and geared with directions, instructions, WiFi codes, assigned parking spaces, etc.

A check-in by you, or a self-check-in by the visitor will instantly notify the host of their arrival by email and SMS. HSE surveys and NDA documents can also be streamlined in this process. 

Allow your guests to self-register and automatically and instantly inform hosts of their arrival on text message or via email. It saves time for the visitor and frees up resources for front desk employees, who will not have to look up and call meeting hosts  ”manually”.

Pre-register guests in Outlook and Microsoft 365

Let meeting organizers pre-register guests in Outlook by adding visitors’ names and email adresses in the scheduled meeting, giving front desk accurate information about the visitors prior to check-in. 

No more GDPR sensitive paper check-in lists and misspelled name tags.

Also, this improves initial visitor/employee communication.

When visitors checks in, in the reception area, an employee is notified automatically of their guest's arrival by text message or by email making it easy to communicate with the visitor while they wait to enter or get picked up.

Employee notification creates a more relaxed and personal experience and optimizes time at the front desk. With employee notification, employees have a much better chance of being ready in the meeting room when the visitor arrives.

Add a kiosk to your reception

Self-service check-in

You can check-in a guest and print a badge with one click in the visitor management portal, easy as that. You can also set-up a check-in kiosk where guests can self-check-in. 

Why would you want to do that? For instance, to supplement your reception, when having large groups visiting, or when hosting events. Also, to off-load at peak hours, or to have your back when you managed to squeeze in that well-deserved coffee break.

Discover a seamless check-in process

Spend your time on what matters most

It's time to consider ways to allocate your front desk resources to more value adding assignments in your organization

Every day people at your office or front desk ask others or themselves:

  • Who are visiting today?
  • Who are they visiting?
  • Which meetings are they attending?
  • Have the employees been notified about their arrival (bummer, they are not at their desk - what’s their mobile number again)?
  • Which visitors are currently on the premises?
  • What’s that password for our guest WiFi again?
  • Did the guests check out again?

 

All the questions are often cumbersome and time consuming to answer.

It doesn't have to be like that!

With AskCody Visitor Management, you can optimize time and resources by compiling multiple administrative functions into one single solution and hence improve productivity dramatically at the front desk and for other employees. 

Tasks like registration of guests, guest logging, NDA signing, printing of guest passes/name tags and notification of the meeting host can be handled automatically and hence free up resources at your front desk – not to mention a much improved visitor experience.

The wins and outcomes are achieved immediately:

  • Improved first impressions
  • Saved time by allowing for self-registration and instant employee notifications. 
  • Improved security
  • Improved initial visitor/employee communication for better visitor experience
  • Less risk of meetings starting late or no-shows

Before arrival - Guests can receive an email or SMS with information about parking rules, WiFi password, and company rules & guidelines.
