DeskFive Electronic Visitor Management System

Introduction

DeskFive is a very powerful, yet simple to operate visitor management system. It combines a host of powerful features to manage and track visitors and the employees they are visiting on site. The whole check-in procedure can be made simple by the use of a CardScan business card scanner (available separately). Simply insert a business card into the scanner and the check-in process is started. The card is scanned, a copy of it stored and all fields updated using Optical Character Recognition. A photograph of the visitor can also be captured and stored on their record and/or printed onto their visitor badge.

DeskFive holds a database of staff so that the visitor(s) can be quickly and easily assigned to the staff member(s) they are visiting. This can be linked to an existing MS Access or SQL database via ODBC. Once the staff member is selected, site route instructions can be printed for the visitor and automatic email notification sent advising of the visitor's arrival. Reports on visitor and staff locations, on/off site report and top visitors/staff can be easily printed. An emergency on-site report can be produced very quickly from the main screen showing all current visitors on-site at that moment - a very important feature should the building need to be evacuted.

More than one printer can be defined for the printing of badges, maps/instructions and reports enabling you to use, for example, an A4 page printer for reports and a plastic card printer for badges. DeskFive can also assign a badge number, allowing you to use pre-printed badges instead of printing them. The Star TSP800 thermal badge/report printer (available separately) is ideal for use with DeskFive as it features a compact footprint, 112mm wide paper width, 150mm per second print speed and has unique Windows printer drivers, allowing it to be used to produce both badges and perfectly readable, scaled down A4 reports all from the same paper roll.
