What were you using before VisitUs Reception?
Old school pen and paper based system. We used 3 logbooks/registers, one each for visitors, contractors and employees.
Site inductions used to be pen and paper based. All data generated used to be manually entered in Excel and all inductions were scanned and saved weekly.
What was the trigger for deciding to try something new?
One employee spent about 3-4 hours per week entering data in Excel and maintaining records. Because of manual data entry, it was difficult to eliminate human error.
Every once in a while, induction documents got misplaced and it was getting difficult to maintain visitor records.
Too much paper was being wasted. To save time, money and paper, we were on a lookout for a better solution.
