Front of House

Visitor management is cited as one of the most vital areas of any organisation.  The room booking system must allow for the prompt and efficient processing of visitors, so that receptionists can spend more time welcoming guests.  

Datacraft have successfully tested the new web-based interface Global Hospitality Web on a mobile tablet PC, to prove the concept of using the software on a mobile device for such tasks. When using Global Hospitality Web on a tablet PC connected to the wireless network, Front of House staff can easily arrive and depart guests as they enter and leave the building, as well as update the status of a meeting room to 'In Progress' or 'No Show' when patrolling the meeting room floor.

Datacraft’s Photo Badges module gives you a simple, efficient and secure way to welcome visitors into your premises.  It enhances the powerful visitor control features already provided by Global Hospitality Web and offers the stringent security required by high-profile companies today.

Our software enables you to capture a visitor’s image, and store that image for re-use on their subsequent visits.  It also allows receptionists to recognise important visitors when they arrive and greet them by name.  As everyone knows, first impressions count.

Combine our Photo Badges module with Global Hospitality Web and benefit from:

Real-time lists of all expected visitors
Automatic addition of visitors’ names to a central guest list for future use
Only storing each visitor photograph once, maximising efficiency
Positive identification of visitors
Easy tracking of visitor attendance and history
Flagging certain guests as not requiring a photograph
Configuration of any, and multiple, badge designs to suit operational requirements
Batch badge printing
Visitor arrival and departure logging
Real-time list of visitors on the premises (important for fire-evacuation lists)
Message field for useful information
Ad hoc text selection when printing the badge

Visitors’ photographs can be captured using simple USB cameras which utilise TWAIN drivers, so you do not need expensive hardware.
