Key Benefits of FacilityFlow

Enhanced Security & Compliance

Automatically screen visitors against customizable watchlists, maintain digital audit trails for compliance (HIPAA, SOX, GDPR), and receive instant alerts when flagged individuals attempt entry. Full integration with access control systems ensures only authorized visitors can enter restricted areas.

Touchless, Professional Experience

Enable contactless check-in via QR codes sent to visitors' smartphones, reducing wait times from 5+ minutes to under 30 seconds. Print professional photo badges automatically with visitor name, host, date, and time-expiring access credentials—all without front desk staff intervention.

Real-Time Visibility & Emergency Response

Know exactly who's in your facility at any moment with real-time dashboards and location tracking. Generate emergency evacuation reports instantly to ensure all visitors are accounted for during drills or actual emergencies—a critical safety feature that traditional logbooks cannot provide.

Seamless Host Notifications & Workflows

Automatically notify hosts via email, SMS, or mobile app when their visitors arrive. Set up custom approval workflows for different visitor types, departments, or security levels. Integration with calendar systems allows automatic visitor pre-registration from meeting invites.

Complete Digital Records & Analytics

Maintain permanent digital records of all visitor activity with searchable logs, photo archives, and detailed analytics. Generate compliance reports, track peak visitor times, analyze visitor patterns by department, and export data for security audits—all with a few clicks.
