Schools Abandon Guest Sign In Books in Favor of Visitor Tracking Software

Many public and private K-12 schools use EasyLobby visitor management software to protect students and administrators from unwanted visitors and to professionally manage guests.

As one of the most economical ways for a school to dramatically improve visitor security, a visitor system allows the school to identify and monitor all visitors and provide visitor badges to all guests, contractors, and volunteers in the school.

School administrators understand that in today's world they must limit entry as well as monitor entry of all non-students and non-school personnel. Visitor software allows them to apply a visitor id badge to all guests and to flag unwanted visitors.

EasyLobby visitor management helps them flag unwanted visitors by using a watch list feature. This can include external watch lists such as individuals registered in each state's sex offender database. EasyLobby will alert lobby attendants and administrators when someone on this list tries to check into the building within seconds of visitor sign in.

At schools using EasyLobby badge ID software, all guests are required to wear a school visitor badge and to verify their identity during check in.

School visitor software from EasyLobby also includes these special features used by K-12 schools:

Expediting visitor check in and out during busy morning and end-of-school day times by using barcodes on visitor passes.
Tracking the hours of school volunteers and other helpers, as well as contractors working at the school, by badging them at an EasyLobby station.
When students leave the building - either because of lunch breaks, free periods or field trips - scanning their student ID cards with EasyLobby visitor software to track who has left the building.

EasyLobby is used at hundreds of K-12 schools to provide a professional lobby system, improve security and monitor exactly who is in the school.
