What do building sites, schools and prisons all have in common? The need for effective visitor management. Yes, perhaps the single most ubiquitous security concern relates to correct handling of visitors, and this is with good reason. For example, if unauthorised personnel wander into unsafe areas of a building site or if members of the public are allowed to walk freely around a school premises, then a variety of potential safety issues could arise.
Luckily, there is a simple but highly effective solution to visitor management – ID cards. However, unlike employee management, for example, proper management of visitors affords some unique challenges and requires specialised visitor management software.
For example, unlike employee or pupils, a visitor population with not stay constant and your software should be able to accommodate and issue new IDs at a pace that is convenient for a transient visitor to a building site or school, for example. Our “ID Manager Visitor” and “ID Manager Visitor Pro” software is especially suited to this task, and will allow the speedy registration of visitors and the extremely fast printing of ID cards.
Which brings us to the next crucial consideration regarding visitor systems – the ID cards should be appropriate for visitor usage. Therefore, if you need to issue temporary IDs on a regular basis you might opt for more affordable plastic cards, whereas if you need to optimise security, such as in a prison setting, functionality you could choose cards that have inherent security features such as watermarks.
