Your receptionist is the busiest person in your office. Whether it’s answering calls, greeting visitors, managing deliveries, or juggling other administrative tasks, they’re likely multitasking at all times. However, there’s a smarter way to ease their burden while boosting efficiency—a Visitor Management System (VMS) like Vizitor.

Here’s how Vizitor can help your receptionist focus on higher-value tasks by automating these seven key responsibilities:

1. Streamlining Visitor Check-ins and Office Traffic

Standing awkwardly in a lobby while waiting for assistance can frustrate your visitors. With Vizitor, this scenario becomes a thing of the past.

Our system offers intuitive self-check-ins, guiding guests through simple steps to provide their details. The moment a visitor completes check-in, the host is automatically notified via SMS, email, or app notification.

Vizitor’s smart delivery alerts notify recipients directly or notify a group of employees to claim the package. This not only streamlines operations but also ensures your receptionist doesn’t need to manually manage the flow of office traffic.

2. Ensuring Office Safety and Seamless Communication

Vizitor takes workplace safety and communication to the next level. With the Notifications feature, real-time alerts can be sent to employees and visitors through multiple channels like Slack, Teams, or email. Whether it’s a simple announcement like “Lunch is served” or urgent situations like evacuations, everyone in the building—including checked-in guests—is informed instantly, ensuring safety remains a top priority.

Additionally, Vizitor supports health and security protocols vital in today’s environment. Customizable health questionnaires and temperature checks during visitor registration help maintain health standards. For added security, watchlist integrations discreetly notify your security team if flagged individuals attempt to check in, ensuring a safe and secure office environment without unnecessary tension.

3. Automating Badge Printing

No more manual badge preparation! Vizitor automates the process, printing badges instantly after a visitor checks in.

The badges can include the visitor’s name, photo, host details, and the purpose of their visit. You can design badges to suit your brand while ensuring professional visitor identification. You can refer to this blog to learn more about “ How to enable Badge Printing?”

4. Simplifying Document Signing

From NDAs to safety waivers, Vizitor allows visitors to sign documents digitally during check-in. The signed documents are securely stored in the cloud, making them easily accessible whenever needed.

This feature not only saves time but also protects your organization from potential liabilities by ensuring that critical agreements are in place before the visit.

5. Breaking Language Barriers

If your office receives visitors from different parts of the world, communication can sometimes be a challenge. Vizitor bridges this gap with multi-language support, offering check-in flows in English, Spanish, French, and more.

By creating a comfortable experience for all visitors, regardless of their language, Vizitor ensures inclusivity and seamless communication.

6. Digitizing Visitor Logs

Forget paper logbooks—they’re outdated, inefficient, and difficult to manage. Vizitor’s cloud-based visitor logs keep detailed records of every guest, including their time of visit, purpose, and host.

These logs are easy to search, retrieve, and analyze for reporting purposes. Plus, you save on storage space and reduce the environmental impact of paper records.
