Step into the shoes of someone who visits your facility on site. Do you think they feel safe and secure? Do they feel their needs are being met as a visitor? Even with COVID-19 floating around in the background of their day-to-day?

Furthermore, do you feel you have the organizational structure to keep track of who these visitors are? Or who they have come in contact with? If you currently do not have a robust and functional visitor registration system in place, then your answer to these questions is probably no. Or at least is one that comes with a bit of hesitation.

The truth is that in today’s world, we can’t continue to function without every facility and organization being able to answer these questions with a confident and resounding ‘yes.’ This means that having the proper visitor registration in place could be what you need. Let’s explore!

What is visitor registration?

Visitor registration involves the process of visitors checking in once they arrive at a location. Their details and information are usually recorded in an organized system to be referenced in the future.

While visitor registration can be completed with a physical pen and paper, systems are available to automate the process through technology, such as mobile apps or iPads. Paperless solutions to visitor registration come with many added benefits, like streamlining processes with facial recognition and auto-reporting features.

Why is visitor registration so important?

Visitor registration has always been essential as it can make all the difference in a facility's safety and productivity. This importance has only amplified as we have been exposed to a world enveloped by COVID-19. Safety, security, tracking, and insights have never been more critical.

As staying contactless has proven to be essential in preventing the spread of infection. This is especially relevant to the front desk at a facility. A proven potential hot spot for gathering and touching surfaces.

All visitor information and important documentation is kept secure. Confined to the system where it remains protected from wandering eyes.

Accountability and tracking on-site

The free Sine Pro mobile app provides tons of excellent visitor registration benefits. You can create COVID-19 check-in questions for your visitors. Helping you to keep your site safe while maintaining a full log of every movement in and out of your site.

Valuable insights for staff and leaders

The more facility staff and leaders know about the flow of people in and out of their facility, the better equipped they are to handle the unexpected. If someone who visits your site is to become infected by COVID-19, a robust visitor registration system will allow you to pinpoint who they came in contact with.
