After speaking to several schools and colleges over the past month it is clear schools are thinking about school visitor management. Taking the discussion further we have been asked can we do some of the following…
- Electronically track students in Library including total hours for the week/month to replace manual sign in book
- Ability to build unlimited access points for the measurement of time for all students in any area required like Library
- Track all people associated with after school care facilities including photo ID for pick up parents, students and teachers
- Manage contractors on site including one off contractors and repeat contractors.
- Can we connect into the police database
- Can we screen casual and volunteer people at the school
- Can we control entry into rooms
- Can a nominated parent/s get email notification when a student signs in late
- Run reports easily by student, location, access point
- Integrate with existing school systems
- Create school photo ID cards
- Use existing RFID School ID cards
- Can we manage meeting rooms
- Could we have the solution sponsored by a local business
The types of questions we are being asked indicated schools and colleges are seriously thinking about visitor and contractor management across single or multiple locations. Recent inquiries range from a single location to over 160 schools in one state.
Technology is moving rapidly, we have many ways to collect data today, the back end software managing the data will determine the answers to many of these questions. Today we can collect data at schools or colleges in a number of ways, there are so many ways today to collect data collecting the data is never an issue anymore
- Existing access control systems
- Wireless access control systems
- Kiosks
- Room RFID or bar code readers
- mobile smart phones
