“Quite long to install and wasn’t as quick as expected”

Josh P.

Administrator

“We now have visitors getting addressed quickly, rather than standing around confused on what to do or where to go. Before they wandered our large lobby to find a bell to ring and I could tell they felt awkward and lost. ”

Sr. Project Assitant

Cons

“There were moments where the system felt a little slow or had more steps than necessary, which could be frustrating, but it didn’t take away from the overall value.”
