Many schools like Birmingham Ormiston Academy (BOA) have been using the Entree Visitor Management system for years. A school approached our team in 2014, with the concern of not knowing who was entering the school, this is how Entree visitor management system was born. We built the sign-in system on feedback from clients to make it what it is today. Visitors, staff, contractors and pupils are able to instantly sign in, whilst adhering to GDPR and health and safety obligations.
What do schools look for?
1. Visitor management system; To manage and capture key visitor information.
2. Staff management system; To easily monitor staff attendance and lateness, as well as allow staff to have a quicker sign-in/out process.
3. Pupil management system; To keep an up to date record of which pupils are arriving late to school and are leaving early.
4. Incident management; To track common incidents that are occurring around the school, to ensure the hazard is removed and students and staff are safe.
5. Evacuation management; To have a safer and smoother fire evacuation process by being able to access a live register from any device with an internet connection.

What do schools like most about the visitor management system? From speaking with our clients the common positive we have found from the system is that it allows them to save time. A reception area in a school can become very busy, however, with such a user-friendly system, visitors are able to sign in with ease, and without needing any assistance from the receptionist.
