4 Signs Your Visitor Management Solution Isn’t Getting the Job Done

Your visitor management solution is one of many cogs and wheels that keeps the functioning of your organization smooth and efficient.

And like any other machine, there are signs that show a certain part isn’t working as well as it’s supposed to. The same applies to your organization and its touchless visitor management system.

This article explores some common signs indicating that your enterprise visitor management solution isn’t getting the job done.

Let’s jump right into it.

Four Signs Your Visitor Management Solution Needs Tweaking

Here are four signs that your enterprise visitor management solution isn’t doing what it’s supposed to.

1. Visitors Haven’t Been Pre-Screened

Problem: Before they meet with your organization, visitors are made to fill out forms and sign agreements, all of which takes away precious time that could go into work.

Additionally, you may have visitors who’ve taken a long commute to get to your organization, only for them to be welcomed by forms and agreements. This isn’t a good look for your organization, nor does it make the visitor feel welcome.

Why Fix It: With pre-screening visitors, you can save your visitors’ time by ensuring a smooth and seamless

On a security level, pre-scanning also ensures your visitors understand and agree to the rules and regulations of your organization, sign health declarations in advance, and sign NDAs.

Because pre-scanning gives your organization an added layer of security, your visitor management needs a well-organized and efficient visitor pre-scanning feature.

Solution: Make sure your visitor management solution has a pre-scanning feature that lets the visitor sign agreements and health forms and read your organization’s visitor protocol. These can be sent to your visitor via email or text message.

The message should contain a link with everything a visitor needs to understand and sign before stepping into your office.

2. Visitors Waiting Too Long Before or After Check-In

Problem: Once visitors get to your office, they find themselves either in a long line or waiting too long for their meeting after checking in.

Why Fix It: Visitors might feel their time is wasted if they’re made to wait in line or in the lobby for too long. They might also feel like you’re not prioritizing them, which could potentially make your organization seem unprofessional.

Solution: Your touchless visitor management system should have a feature that immediately alerts relevant employees of your visitor presence. This ensures that they’re attended to so that your workflow is seamless.

3. Visitors Wandering Around Your Office Unattended

Problem: Once a visitor has completed their check-in process or after their meeting, they’re still found within your office premises. Even worse, they’re either lost or wandering into restricted areas (intentionally or unintentionally).

Why Fix It: If visitors find themselves lost inside your office premises, it can come off as a sign of negligence on your part for not guiding them. Secondly, visitors wandering around your premises could be a security risk, especially if they’re in restricted areas. It’s also an unnecessary distraction for employees to deal with.

Solution: Your visitor management solution needs to allow visitors to check out immediately after they’re done with meetings. Additionally, it should have a feature that informs relevant employees and security if visitors have overstayed their welcome.

4. Visitor Data Falling Into the Wrong Hands

Problem: Your visitors’ IDs and log-in information have fallen into the hands of people who shouldn’t have access to it. Or visitor information could be in the open.

Why Fix It: Your visitors’ privacy is important to them. When they give you their information, they trust you to keep it in safe hands. Stolen information can lead to broken trust, and it deems your organization unreliable.

Solution: To fix this problem, your visitor management solution needs strict privacy protocols for visitor data management. Firstly, all visitor data should be secured using industry-standard encryption. Secondly, it should give visitors the right to view or withdraw their data at any time and for any reason.
