Essential features of a Visitor Management Software

Visitor Management can be computerized even in a World document with cutting & pasting the information, however the process becomes cumbersome unless a visitor management software is used for the same purpose.

Here are some of the essential features an application should have for a smooth operation. Features of Visitex -

Appointment Module: It is always a good practice to follow an appointment based system for visitor management because it not only reduces the burden on the security staff to call the employee every time there is a visitor but it also helps in managing the time of employee in an efficient manner.

The appointment module which can be activated from every desktop is used for indicating the security department about those appointments for which you are expecting some external visitors. So the name of the visitor, the expected time, reason for visit, whether an escort is required etc. are the details which are stored.

Appointment module also shows few important reports to the user like the list of visitors, a calendar on screen, bulletins from the security department etc..

Badging Module: Badging module is used for creating temporary badges for the visitors. Normally when a visitor comes at the reception, the receptionist or the security person will ask the visitor about the details about the appointment and will try to locate the specific appointment based on the user name or organization name. Once these details are picked up few other relevant details like the Address, phone no, Organization details etc. are also registered. Using a Digital Camera a photograph of the visitor is taken and a badge is printed within few seconds with all the necessary details, terms and conditions etc.

Exit Terminals: When the visitor leaves the organization it is essential to note the exit of the visitor from the organization. This will help in identifying the number of visitors within the organization at any given point of time. This terminal allows recording of the exit of the visitor.

Dash Board: Dash board is used by the top management to know the status of the visitor management across the enterprise. The dash board shows the status of visitors at various locations either in a graphical format or in a tabular format. It also shows various statistical reports which are required for efficient deployment of security guards. Various setting and master data management is handled through the Dash board..

Software Issues - What annoys me the most are applications that are "improved" with new versions every year - that take out features I like and add features that are a pain in the arse to use. It's like no one ever asks the end user what would help [i:1g2xa9kr]them[/i:1g2xa9kr].
Marketing Your Software To The Public - Hello! Over the past few months I have been experimenting with no cost ways to effectively market our "Time Management" software. We have created two products. The one solution is geared towards lawyers with special features to handle accounts for The Office of the Children's Lawyer and Legal Aid. For those lawyers who deal with these accounts you will know what i talking about. Other software developers have been contacted but none have included such features in their products claiming that the market was too small. The other product we have created can be configured to work for almost any time related business. With the "Profiling System" you could virtually run any number of business form just one copy. We have been talking all advice from the wonder people who have taken the time to provide us with their advice. From this we have come up with the following results: We sent over 60,000 directed email newsletters - received 7 inquiries and 9 downloads. We have listed our company on over 40 business promotion websites. - traffic increased slightly We sent up developer account with Esellerate to enable us to sell our products online. Once the financial transaction has completed the purchaser can download the software immediately. Other affiliate resellers have are also promoting our products. - Awaiting sales We have posted our products on over 400 repositories as shareware. We can do this because we have a 90 day trial period. We have further, created links to many of the higher traffic sites and have increased traffic to our site. - In the past 2-1/2 months we have received over 10,600 downloads. I hope this information proves useful to other small developers trying to get a start. Boomer
Re: Facebook experiment - [quote:xd5hcs21]I pulled up your profile and "poked" you Evan, although I'm not sure what that means. [/quote:xd5hcs21] I agree totally. There's quite a few features there, like "Poke" and "Give a free gift" that I don't understand and don't want to experiment with. I wonder if there's a FAQ that explains all these features? (I admit I didn't search around for one... I've given up on Facebook..although it did get 2 reviewers for me...)
