Pros

“Since doubling our office space and increasing the number of clinicians that receive clients, The Receptionist allows us to know exactly when our client is in the lobby.”

Melissa B.

Clinical Director

“This is a simple to use sign-in software that helps keeps visitors well monitored and keeps the visiting process efficient and secure.”

Samuel G.

Administrator

“We also love how the iPad allows clients to leave feedback about their experience, providing valuable insights that help us continually improve our services.”

Samantha D.

Director of Operations

Pros

“I think the best feature is that on the dashboard you can quickly summarize any risks or areas for review, and you can run reports which can be easily pulled if an issue ever did occur.”

Salina T.

Owner

“We require visitor management for CT-PAT compliance and SwipedOn even takes a picture and prints a stick on badge for the receptionist to give to the visitor. ”

Mauro B.

Head of IT

“This has enabled us to keep detailed records of both vendors, customers, and employees who are within our buildings during our busy hours and enables us to audit vendors who provide daily services, like cleaners and maintenance folks.”

Jordan M.

HR Generalist

Cons

“A bit pricey.”

Sara W.

Owner

“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. ”

Adrianne C.

Sr. Project Assitant

Cons

“The cost is also high if you are only seeking a simple visitor management software. Since Sign In Solutions prioritizes compliance and security, this platform has a niche audience, and I wouldn't recommend it to small businesses unless this level of compliance was mandatory by regulations or client needs.”

Salina T.

Owner

“Sometimes I assist contractors working with the Federal government, and I thought I could recommend using Sign In Solutions for handling onboarding, but it turns out this software was not eligible for certain projects.”

Salina T.

Owner

“I work at a cleared facility which has some restrictions on leaving devices open without lock code once my device times out my Bluetooth disconnects from the tablet which causes me to have to manually turn on badge printer each time it connects.”
