School Visitor Management Software

Your secretaries might be getting tired of issuing paper badges to visitors and signing them in with pen-and-paper logs. Do they want an easier way to track who is inside the school and make sure everyone is evacuated during an emergency? Are you sure you aren't giving access to suspect individuals?

There's a system to address this. It's called Secure Visitor Management Software (SVMS). SAGE isn't an approved vendor, but the technology is definitely interesting enough to highlight here.

It's very simple to operate. A visitor comes into the lobby and has his or her driver’s license scanned. The SVMS converts the information on the driver’s license to a defined format and prints out a temporary badge allowing access to certain areas of the building, using your existing access control software. The software can even check a national database to ensure visitors aren't on a convicted offender list. (If they are, it sends an email and alerts administrators that he or she is attempting to gain access to the school.) It can even track ongoing custody battles between parents.

  1. With visitor management software, the process of identifying and monitoring visitors has been made much easier. Visitors simply scan a driver's license or other form of identification for verification. Visitor management software even allows organization staff to prepare identification badges or cards for visitors before their arrival.
