DEFINITION
What Is a Web-Based Visitor Management System?
A web-based visitor management system is cloud-hosted software that lets organizations check in visitors, print badges, notify hosts, and store visitor records entirely through a browser or mobile app, with no installed software required. All data is stored securely in the cloud and accessible from any device with an internet connection.
THE REAL PROBLEM
Still Running Visitor Sign-In on a System Locked to One PC?
On-premise visitor management software creates problems that grow with your organisation. Here is what teams face before switching to a web-based system.
On-Premise Systems Lock You to One Device
Traditional VMS installed on a single PC stops working when that machine has a problem
Traditional visitor management software installed on a single PC at reception means check-in stops the moment that machine has a problem. Web-based systems work on any device, so there is no single point of failure.
No Real-Time Visibility Across Multiple Locations
Desktop-based systems cannot sync visitor data across offices in real time
Desktop-based systems cannot sync visitor data across offices. When head office needs to know who is on-site at a branch, the answer is: nobody knows. A web-based system pushes every check-in to one live dashboard instantly.
IT-Heavy Setup Slows Down Deployment
Installing and maintaining on-premise software requires IT involvement at every stage
Installing, maintaining, and upgrading on-premise software requires IT involvement every step of the way. A web-based system deploys in 30 minutes with zero IT tickets, and updates automatically overnight.
All three of these problems disappear the moment you switch to Vizitor's web-based visitor management system.
