During a recent presentation of our visitor registration software, a potential new user was surprised to hear us explain how to use the EasyLobby system to track assets in an organization.
"I want to use it for managing visitors, not pieces of equipment," he said.
"Great," we promptly replied. "Because our award winning visitor registration system allows any organization to effectively manage groups of visitors - allowing you to know who is in your facility and the reasons why, while also keeping unwanted visitors out."
But a lot of people don't realize that you can also use the same EasyLobby visitor management system to track equipment taken out of your facility, or even moved within your facility.
The advantages are that you deter theft and are able to easily locate key pieces of equipment.
For example, a group of employees gather in a conference room for a PowerPoint presentation. Maybe it's a sales presentation to a prospect, or a presentation to fellow employees.
The person giving the presentation goes to retrieve the projector just before the meeting, but discovers it missing. Nobody knows who used it last or where it went.
Sound familiar?
Using EasyLobby's visitor management techniques, you keep the projector - and other shared equipment - in a locked cabinet near the receptionist's desk. Whenever that equipment is used, it's logged in the same EasyLobby visitor registration software that's used to track visitors.
Now, the lobby attendant knows exactly who used the equipment last and where it was used and whether that person returned it.
And, when someone takes a laptop or other piece of equipment home, the lobby attendant can also log it into the system, just as the attendant would be checking in a visitor. So you know every piece of equipment that is removed from your site and who removed it.
It's nice to know that EasyLobby visitor management solutions can be used to provide effective visitor management security. But it's also comforting to know that you can use it to track important assets in your facility.
