Greetly, the only fully-customizable visitor management system (VMS) in the world, is now offering all existing and future clients the ability to leverage No-touch visitor management technology to ensure safer visitor check-ins and exits within all types of buildings.

Greetly’s No-touch visitor check-in is the first technology of its kind in the world. The offering was first announced in April 2020 with an assurance the solution would be ready for clients to utilize by June of 2020. Greetly’s existing clients will all have access to the new no-touch feature at no additional cost. In addition, the new feature is embedded into all new client plans.

“It was critical at all levels of our organization from research and development to business development and senior leadership that our No-touch VMS solution be available to all new and existing clients at no additional cost,” said Dave Milliken, Founder of Greetly. “In these uncertain times when people are concerned for their health and safety, we made a very large internal effort to fast forward our product development to ensure this new tool would be available by June 2020. We made this promise and I am immensely proud of our entire team who worked tirelessly to ensure we could launch as planned and have this tool available today.”

Visitors are now able to initiate and complete the check-in process using their own smartphones without having to download any additional apps or touch any third-party screens.

Office Evolution, a Greetly client, is utilizing the new No-touch offering throughout its network of coworking locations. Office Evolution is the largest and fastest growing coworking franchisor in the U.S. with 70 locations in over 20 states. As the brand is poised to expand its network this year, the need to provide an additional layer of precaution for its members was critical.

“The health and safety of our member sin our workspaces is our top priority,” said William Edmundson, Office Evolution, COO and GWA Board Member. “Our members have continued to work from coworking spaces during the pandemic because we quickly implemented enhanced protocols and systems to ensure their safety. The way we work has forever changed and Greetly’s No-touch technology complements our goal of providing a healthy environment for our members.”

Many additional Greetly’s clients are utilizing the new No-touch offering including:

Randstad, Sweden

Vita Coco

Cambridge Innovation Center

“Meeting the growing needs of those seeking healthy buildings across the world should immediately become the main goal of the entire VMS marketplace, especially as our global community works united to end the devastating COVID-19 virus. I believe that every building should begin with a no-touch visitor management system. This way guests, residents, and employees can enter their home or workplace hands-free and have a deeper peace of mind in terms of their personal safety,” said Milliken. “Since 2019, our research and development team has been working on this tool and I am pleased to see a seamless usage transition by so many of our clients.”

Traditional visitor management systems run off tablet computers in a kiosk which causes potential risk as visitors are required to touch the kiosk which may have been used by someone carrying corona virus or another illness. In addition, cleaning a kiosk is not entirely practical and cannot be guaranteed after each and every use.

The welcome screen of the Greetly app will display a QR code or the ability to text a code, both unique to the specific workplace to initiate the sign-in process. Greetly’s technology ensures visitors are on location before allowing them to begin the check-in process. Visitors will then be able to complete the entire check-in process including finding and selecting their host, entering required information about themselves, taking a photo and/or eSigning legal documents. When the process is complete, hosts will be notified. All of this works exactly as if the visitor had used a kiosk.

Greetly’s no-touch feature is easy to download and use within minutes of accessing the company’s app and is offered with 24-HR a day customer support. The new offering is ideal for visitor check-in and check-out for several workplace environments such as secured facilities, co-working spaces, office buildings, staffing agencies, casinos and resorts, warehouses, military posts and many more.
