SYDNEY, AUSTRALIA – 10-30-25 – Time & People, a premier solutions partner for MRI OnLocation, today announced the successful go-live of a sophisticated integration for U.S. manufacturing leader, Scot Forge. This new solution seamlessly connects the MRI OnLocation visitor management platform with Descartes’ Denied Party Screening (DPS) system, automating critical security vetting for all visitors.
The integration was developed to address a crucial compliance challenge for global businesses like Scot Forge, which must adhere to strict international trade regulations. Manually vetting every visitor against complex and ever-changing government sanction lists is a time-consuming, high-stakes process prone to human error. This new automated workflow ensures that every visitor is pre-screened before they ever set foot on site.
“We are exceptionally proud to deliver this high-level security solution for Scot Forge,” said Peter Morrissey, Managing Director at Time & People. “In today’s global landscape, knowing who is entering your facility is a fundamental part of risk management. This integration moves compliance screening from a manual, reactive step to an automated, proactive safeguard, embedded directly into the visitor check-in process.”
When a visitor is pre-registered in MRI OnLocation, the integration automatically sends the visitor’s details to the Descartes platform. Descartes then screens the individual against hundreds of global denied-and-restricted party lists. The screening results are sent back to OnLocation instantly, providing Scot Forge’s security and reception teams with a clear “pass” or “fail” status before the guest arrives.
This automated process provides transformative benefits:
- Enhanced Security & Risk Mitigation: Proactively identifies and flags individuals on sanctioned lists, preventing potential security breaches and violations of international trade regulations (like ITAR).
- Automated Compliance: Creates a seamless, automated workflow, ensuring 100% of registered visitors are screened with no manual intervention required.
- A Defensible Audit Trail: Generates an indestructible, time-stamped digital record of every screening, providing Scot Forge with robust proof of their due diligence for any compliance audit.
- Improved Visitor Experience: Legitimate visitors enjoy a fast and frictionless check-in, as their compliance and security clearance is handled seamlessly in the background.
This successful deployment for Scot Forge further establishes Time & People as a leader in extending the power of MRI OnLocation through strategic, high-value integrations. By connecting best-in-class platforms, Time & People is solving complex compliance and security challenges for global enterprises.
“Peter Morrissey” added, “Our clients trust us to protect their operations. This integration is a perfect example of how we leverage smart technology to help customers get more out of OnLocation, transforming it from a visitor management tool into a core component of their international security and compliance framework.”
