Lobbytrack

Reception desks in corporate lobbies, schools, hospitals and government buildings are where Lobbytrack is meant to work. It is a visitor management system from Jolly Technologies that comes as online and on-premise software with mobile apps, and it covers signing guests in, telling hosts, informing security and handling evacuations.

Registering a visitor before or after arrival

A guest can be entered ahead of the visit or at the desk when they turn up. The system can scan a driver's license, print visitor badges and notify the employee being visited by text message. Forms for visitors, hosts and non-disclosure agreements can be customized, so a lobby can have guests sign an NDA as part of check-in.

Screening and restricted areas

Lobbytrack checks visitors against watch lists, both local and online, and can restrict visitor access to safe areas. Its makers promote it for protecting a facility from unwanted visitors, including limiting visits to hospital patients and controlling who enters government facilities.

Guards and evacuation

A guard app lets security staff monitor all visitor activity and manage an evacuation, which depends on knowing who is in the building at that moment. The system can also track other groups of people beyond visitors, such as employees, substitutes, contractors, vendors and volunteers, by checking them in and out with their existing ID badges.

Schools, volunteers and reporting

For schools, Lobbytrack registers and screens visitors and volunteers, and can automate attendance with check-in stations and ID badges, keeping the records that attendance reporting needs. Reports on visitor information can be run from the stored database when an audit or annual review requires it.

A product with options

Jolly Technologies calls Lobbytrack an industry-leading visitor management software and offers both a hosted version and an on-premise desktop version. That choice suits sites with a single entrance as well as organizations with several locations, and the company says the system can be tailored from small businesses to high-security facilities.
