Description
Virtual Front Desk serves as an innovative solution for reception, visitor management, and customer service across various venues such as offices, clinics, retail stores, and public areas that require dependable front-desk assistance. This platform is compatible with any contemporary browser that has a webcam, including devices like iPads, Android tablets, all-in-one computers, kiosks, and Neat Frame devices. It enables visitors to check in, connect with the appropriate staff member via video or phone, send SMS messages, access documents, scan QR codes, fill out forms, verify identities, process card payments, and print badges or documents from a single interface. Teams can respond from virtually anywhere using a web application, mobile app, Microsoft Teams, phone, or other integrated channels, allowing either a solo receptionist or a centralized team to manage multiple desks and locations efficiently. The comprehensive dashboard provides oversight for managing sites, stations, users, branding, actions, and tracking activity history, ensuring all aspects of reception are streamlined. Additionally, the platform features native integrations with Microsoft Teams and Entra ID that facilitate the routing of reception calls into Teams and the importation of real-time employee directories, enhancing operational efficiency and communication. This multifaceted tool not only simplifies visitor engagement but also significantly improves the overall experience for both visitors and staff alike.
Description
friendlyway Visitor Management is a cloud-based solution that automates the full visitor lifecycle – from invitations and pre-registration to self-service check-in, badging, and checkout. It connects with self-service kiosks or tablets so visitors can register themselves, scan a QR code or ID, capture a photo, and instantly receive a printed badge or access card. The system supports different visitor categories (guests, contractors, employees, temp workers, event attendees) and can be deployed across a single site or multiple locations.
Organizations can configure tailored workflows for each visitor type, including pre-visit questionnaires, NDAs and other agreements, safety briefings, knowledge checks, and e-signatures to meet internal policies and regulatory requirements. Online and onsite registration forms, omnichannel invitations and notifications, and multi-language support help standardize the process and deliver a consistent branded experience.
Reception and security teams benefit from real-time dashboards that show who is expected, who is on-site, and when visitors have checked out. The solution integrates with physical access control systems, Microsoft 365/Outlook, calendars, and other enterprise tools to enable host notifications, visit approvals, and automated access provisioning.
Built on the friendlyway Cloud Platform, the visitor management module can be combined with digital signage, wayfinding, and workforce management capabilities to support broader on-site experience and security use cases.
