In a post-pandemic world, people are returning to the office and business priorities are changing so we thought it was about time we discussed visitor management trends.
In 2024, security is at the top of the agenda for most organisations alongside compliance and operational efficiency. With this in mind, the adoption of a visitor management system is becoming increasingly crucial for businesses.
When it comes to the latest visitor management trends, a few are shaping the industry. Let’s take a look at some of the most notable ones to keep an eye on.
Visitor experience
First impressions can be everything these days so there has been a real focus on giving a great experience when anyone visits your premises. As a business owner, you want to give visitors a great overall experience and that should begin with check-in through a seamless visitor management solution.
The integration of technology within a business has become an essential part of a modern working environment. The presence of a smart visitor management system can impress technologically-minded visitors, attract the attention of potential customers and ensure everyone on the premises feels secure.
VisiPoint‘s intuitive user interface and modern design give visitors an excellent first impression. The system is easy to use and makes the sign-in process fast, efficient and paperless.
Touchless entry through mobile integration
The COVID-19 pandemic has made a lasting impression on how we operate, with contactless entry gaining significant traction and the visitor management trend is looking to continue into 2024. Visitor management systems that allow for a seamless, contactless check-in process such as QR code scanning will become more popular as these solutions not only enhance hygiene and safety but also improve the overall visitor experience.
There is a clear demand for mobile integration and self-service capabilities in visitor management systems. Visitors will expect the ability to pre-register and conduct self-check-in using their own mobile devices.
Through VisiPoint, staff who are expecting visitors can add their details to the VisiPoint system in advance to speed up the process of signing in. Alternatively, they can send an invitation asking guests to pre-register their details, issuing them a mobile QuickPass QR code that they can scan on their phone when they arrive. This approach can massively reduce the workload on front-desk staff and improve operational efficiency.
Secure data storage and retention
With an increasing focus on data privacy and regulatory compliance, visitor management systems are prioritising their adherence to relevant laws and industry standards. Features such as secure, cloud-based data storage and access controls will become essential to ensure compliance with regulations such as GDPR or industry-specific requirements.
With VisiPoint all data is stored securely in the cloud, in full compliance with GDPR, so you can rest assured your data is private and stored safely. Visitor data is also captured in consent with the organisation’s terms and conditions and is encrypted at rest and in transfer.
