Breakdown - BluBØX Generalized Visitor Management
Technology Challenges
Using the previous slide’s visitor workflow, we can identify several challenges that require many years of industry knowledge and experience
- Responsiveness - use module on any device (mobile, tablet, laptop, desktop) with no loss of functionality and only one codebase
- Recurrence - visitors that come the third Monday of the month
- Single Sign On - often required for Enterprise customers
- Watchlist Management and Checking - Notifying people when overrides are requested or matches are found
- Pre-arrival Instructions, Arrival Notifications, and other Real Time Communications (SMS, Email, Onscreen in a browser)
- Photo Capture - Done in the cloud with no ActiveX or browser plugins?
- Credential Capture and Validation - driver’s license validation, passport validation, etc. done in the cloud with no plugins
- Biometric Enrollment - using the visitor’s face as their access control credential
- Badge Printing - Including bar codes or QR codes if necessary
- Access Control Integration - having the visitors badge work just like an employee’s, having it work “instantly”
- Single day pass for employees - temporary pass that is only good for one day but still audits out as if it was the person’s permanent credential
- Vendor Accommodation - UPS needs to access multiple floors and multiple occupants per arrival + integrating with elevators including destination systems and freight
- Emergency Mustering - Who’s In, sending SMS messages and automating responses to “account” for visitors in case of an emergency
