Visitor Management System-
A Necessary Checkpoint to Safeguard A Facility

The rapidly changing world demands each organization to take a closer look into the security issues and loopholes of its facilities. Preemptive measures have to be taken and appropriate system needs to be in place to safeguard facilities from outside and inside threats, securing personnel and property simultaneously.

Apart from securing a facility with access control system, visitor management system is about having the details of visitors who visit a facility and making employees jointly responsible for visitors they are bringing inside the company. By having a Visitor Management System in place complete with prior registration and ID identification, a company can easily keep the wrong people out and only let the right people in, keeping everybody safe at all times.

To enter any country, there is always border control to verify identification and to check on the intent before letting anybody pass security. Visitor Management System should be an integral element of the total security solution and should be the main checkpoint to eliminate the possibility of threats from entering your facility.

Digital automated system is always a plus point for security and Visitor Management System provides that. Having a logbook exposes a facility to loopholes and vulnerability beyond repair, as visitors could easily provide wrong information; visitors could forget to return reusable badge and can enter the premise again and again; and the logbook can easily be taken away by competitors or any strangers with ill intention or just to gain some information about your company’s visitors.

With Visitor Management System, preregistration and approvals can be done electronically and through an online system, which can save a lot of time on both ends. Visitors can get approval before coming over, and the system can filter the good visitors from the bad ones. Upon arrival, guards in charge will have to verify the approved visitors’ identities before allowing access to a facility. The system can also limit time on each visit for example contractors are allowed for a few hours on a certain days or delivery guys can enter a premise for 30 minutes max.

Visitor Management System is also important to enhance emergency response like natural disaster, fire, hijack and etc, to verify who is in and who is out of the building, and the last known location of the people who are still inside a facility.

Investment on Visitor Management System is crucial to provide your facility with total access security system besides projecting a positive image as a company that puts security first without compromising on visitors’ convenience.
