Visitor Management System for Hotel

Every day hotel authority needs to welcome, accommodate and serve a number of guests and their visitors. Without proper identification and log keeping, it can be really difficult to keep track of everything and everyone. They need to register both guest and visitors using their demographic data, identification and travel documents according to the local law and safety measures too. But in the traditional pen and paper-based system of visitor registration, there is much time-consuming and it is not possible to verify the identity of the visitor with a pre-scheduled appointment with certainty. In many cases, it has been seen that the visitor used fake information and was involved in criminal activities.

Using visitor management system, hotel authorities can record the guest and visitors information for future reference, keep track of appointments, send a notification to guest and identify the unwanted visitors by verifying with their previous records. It is also possible to integrate a biometric identification system with any web-based visitor management system to ensure a higher level of accuracy.
