Visitor Kiosk
What features does the Visitor Kiosk offer for visitor management?
The Visitor Kiosk provides a seamless visitor experience with automated orientations, touchless check-ins, and multi-language support. It also offers real-time notifications and a detailed visitor log for efficient facility management.
What options do I have for placing my kiosk?
The Visitor Kiosk is offered in a number of configurations, such as a free-standing kiosk, a kiosk that can be placed on a countertop, or even a version that can be mounted to your wall.
Is a badge printer included with the purchase of a Visitor Kiosk?
Yes! We include a free badge printer with every kiosk, and we'll send you two rolls of labels to get you started.
What if I have people who visit frequently?
Although new visitors need to be properly oriented by watching videos, signging documents, etc. recurring visitors may not need to be put through the same spiel. Customize the kiosk to recognize returning visitors and only revisit information when you decide it's necessary!
What's the difference between a QR code display and Touchless check-in?
Kiosk display options come with a QR code on the screen to give visitors the option of checking in from the kiosk or their smartphone. A QR code display acts as a separate kiosk with unique logic and only allows visitors to check-in from their phone or smart device
Can QR codes be printed in any size on any material?
Yes, once a QR code is added to your subscription, it is up to the customer to decide how they would like the code to be printed and what size fits your needs best!
Can I search visitor reports by a specific date?
Yes, visitor reports are easily searchable and exportable. Search by a specific date, check-in type, company name, and more.
Can I customize pre-registration links?
Yes! Administrators can specify their own, custom URL that their pre-registration process will live at, e.x. “prereg.sendtransmission.com/YourOrganization"
Can I reprint a badge if the original is ruined or lost?
Yes! Your visitor can return to the kiosk, tap “check-in,” and enter their phone number. The kiosk will remind them that they are already checked in and ask if they’d like to check out or reprint the name badge. Select “reprint name badge.”
Is the cost of shipping an additional fee?
Shipping is calculated based on weight, size, and final destination. Floorstands and touchscreens larger than 43” are shipped via freight.
What's the difference between CheckPoints and Touchless check-in?
The kiosks have two options for visitors to check in: either by using the kiosk or by scanning the QR code displayed on the screen with their smartphone. However, the CheckPoint is different as it only works through a separate QR code with its own unique logic. It allows visitors to check in only via their phone or smart device.
Can visitors have a copy of the documents they sign at the kiosk?
Yes! The Check-In Kiosk enables visitors to choose to receive a link via text to view and save a copy of the agreement that they signed when checking in. Visitors will receive an eight-digit code alongside this link in order to access the agreement; this link expires after eight hours for security.
