Sign In System

Sign in systems are quickly replacing traditional sign in books in many businesses and educational establishments. They are not only a more efficient way of ensuring that all students and staff are in school or work at the right time, they also create an impressive first impression for visitors, as well as reducing administration time for receptionist staff. The advanced software of a sign in system allows visitors, staff and students to sign in directly, notifying the person they are coming to visit, without the need for a receptionist’s input.

With GDPR coming into force on 25thMay 2018, the control of personal data is given back to individual. So, the use of a sign-in book, which is often left open for anyone to look at when they’re waiting in reception for a meeting, will no longer be acceptable. The only way to be compliant, whilst knowing exactly who is in the building at any one time is through the adoption of a cloud-based sign in system, which has each individual’s data locked down and only accessible by the individual and members of staff that need to process the data.

With a sign in system, you no longer have to find a clock to write your sign-in and sign-out time, the system does all that for you! Additionally, if you have pre-booked the meeting, the company could auto-populate the system, so all you need to do is enter the first few letters of your name, and type your car registration in, and you’re all signed in!
