In a world where nearly everything has gone digital payments, meetings, queues, and even coffee orders, it’s no surprise that workplaces are now rethinking one of the most fundamental processes of all: the check-in.
For decades, the process barely changed: pick up a pen, find an empty line in a register, scribble your information, and hope the writing was clear enough to be useful later. But today, the shift from pen-and-paper check-ins to smart digital check-ins is more than a trend, it’s a natural evolution shaped by technology, efficiency, and modern workplace expectations.
So the real question isn’t “Why switch?”
It’s “Why stay behind?”
For centuries, checking in meant signing your name in a book.
Charming? Yes. Practical today? Not really.
Paper logs served their purpose when volume was low and security expectations were simpler.
By the 80s and 90s, workplaces began experimenting with digital logs, barcode badges, and basic computer entries, improving legibility and storage but still lacking automation.
Today, visitor management systems like Vizitor have completely transformed the process:
