Why PGS?

When considering a visitor management solution that will enable your company to track and manage everyone on site, few people take the time to consider all of the aspects involved when deploying such a system. There is more to it than just having people sign-in on a clipboard. Companies need to capture a photo and get a copy of everyone’s driver license that is on the site. Along with that, an accurate log of everyone that still in the build, along with times that they have left.

A visitor management solution should include the following:
• Record the date and time when a visitor signs in and out
• Capture a photo of the person signing in
• Scan and record the person’s driver license
• Record where the person is going, and why they are visiting
• Print a onetime use badge that clearly shows the person’s name, photo, and date and time from which they received the badge

Problem:
In this day and age where everything is quickly moving to digital, the visitor sign-in sheet is one of the last hold outs. Using a clipboard, and hand-written visitor badges, they can be easily lost, messy, and even faked. Also, in case of an emergency, it would be hard to track who is still in the building.

Solution:
Using a software program that is easy to use and comprehensive can eliminate a lot of the problems that companies are having with the old clipboard. A software solution can print temporary badges, take photos, scan driver licenses, and gather much more information about each visitor. The Point Guard Security (PGS) software provides the entire set of key features that you will want in a solution and more. PGS has the capabilities to track up to seven different badge categories. This can range anywhere from visitors, staff, to contractors, and more.
