VISITOR MANAGEMENT SYSTEMS FOR MICROSOFT 365

Seamless visitor management

Free up front office and security staff while creating a more professional, joined-up visitor experience.

Our visitor management solution for Microsoft 365 is designed to work naturally with the way people already book meetings and rooms. Visitor registration can be embedded directly into Outlook, or triggered from a standard room booking made through Room Finder or Microsoft Places.

Once visitors are added, the solution can automate the wider process around their visit – from capturing special requirements and issuing security badges to notifying hosts, supporting self-service check-in and helping reception and security teams prepare in advance.
