Visitor Management
Visitor Management refers to the process of tracking and managing people who visit a building or facility. This can include signing guests in and out, printing visitor badges, keeping track of who is in the building, and maintaining security records. It can be done using traditional paper logbooks or modern digital systems. Think of it like being a building's gatekeeper - making sure everyone who comes in is supposed to be there and keeping records of all visits. This role is important for safety, security, and professional appearance of any organization.
