If you’re in CRE, you already know the challenges of managing and tracking visitor access at your properties. You need to know who is entering and for what purpose, how long they stay and when they leave. This can place a burden on site reception teams and can also lead to a frustrating experience for visitors who must wait for authorization to gain access including for scheduled appointments. New tech makes this process easier for everyone and reduces risk through automation and tracking tools for reporting purposes.
Whether you’re an owner or landlord, building manager or corporate occupier, a visitor management solution (VMS) provides a welcome experience for short-term visitors, event attendees, contractors and staff.
