Vendor Admission

Typically, the process of granting access to Vendors (who are usually companies that use the dock and the freight elevators) should be handled differently than Visitors to the building. Vendors have additional requirements when it comes to performing authorized work on site, for this reason, BluSKY has several modules that cover specifically the admission of Vendors to a secured property.
