How Reception works

  • Express check-in for preregistered visitors: Visitors preregistered by members check in within seconds by entering their visit code. Their host instantly receives a notification, creating a smooth, hassle-free experience for everyone without needing a receptionist present.

  • Self-service registration for unregistered visitors: Visitors who weren't preregistered can quickly register themselves using a self-service tablet and request a visit from the host they came to. Their host is notified right away, preventing reception bottlenecks and reducing wait times.

  • Visitor check-out for tracking limits: Visitors can check out through the Reception app, allowing administrators to track visit durations and enforce any visitor limits you set for your space.

  • Contact collection: Apart from visitors, Reception helps you capture contact details from walk-ins so you can grow your lead and marketing database without losing any valuable connections.

  • Custom branded experience: Reception features your logo, brand colors, and location photo, creating a sleek, professional first impression for every visitor coming to your space.
