We’ve all been there, hastily scribbling our information on a paper sign-in sheet. Maybe you were signing in at a client’s office, at a company for a job interview, or going to the newest art show in town.
Regardless of the situation, you wanted one thing: to get in as fast as you could.
That’s what your customers want when they’re signing in at your company.
That’s why you need a visitor management process to keep things simple and fast.
But what is visitor management, anyway?
Simply put, a visitor management app is a system for registering and keeping track of all your visitors.
A good visitor management system offers visitors a clear-cut process where they can easily sign in. It also offers you a simple way of managing your guests and visitors from one place.
That’s good and all, but here’s why you need it:
First, a digital sign-in is more efficient than a paper logbook.
But more importantly, a digital management system simplifies the process and makes your company brand look cool as hell.
Having a modern sign-in system paints your company in a positive light and makes your brand look professional.
And you should care about your initial experience because first impressions matter.
Now that we have some context, let's dive straight in and answer your number one question:
What happens when a visitor arrives at your business?
When it comes to greeting and guiding your visitors and guests, your front desk plays a pivotal role.
Your front desk is the cornerstone of your office. It’s where you look after all the people visiting, the contractors coming to work, and where all the assets and deliverables entering the workplace get managed.
Sine has worked to streamline your front desk, enabling you to have the ideal automated front desk that every modern office needs.
Go to your dashboard page.
From your dashboard, click on the check-in button at the top of the dash.
Once you’re there, fill in all your visitor’s details as well as your Sine name and the type of visitor they are.
Pro tip: Adding their mobile number makes it easier to contact your visitors.
Here’s where you can print a visitor’s pass, add a note to the visitor’s profile where you can add keys, passwords or things you’ve given to your visitors, and check the answers they’ve given you on the sign-in form.
Pro tip: You can use this section to send messages to your visitors.
Ask your visitor to press the check-in button. Here, your visitor needs to select one of the three available options.

You can skip this step, but we recommend that you ask your visitors for a photo because it helps you keep better track of everything.
The app shows the visitor a screen where they can pick their host, and that’s it, they’re signed in!

Using Sine won’t cost your visitors a dime
Sine will ask for this PIN to validate your visitor’s identity and complete the pre check-in process.
Without this number, visitors can’t register
Once they’re registered, visitors only need to check-in using their mobile phone’s geolocation services. Once they’re on the app, Sine will show them all the potential locations they can sign in from. They just have to click on your company.
Once they click on your company, they’re ready
Once they’ve chosen your company, they’ll have to add the visit time and select their host.
