Access Control
Access control can work as a time clocking system as well as security control, with different levels of security for different access points to ensure resources are managed and secured efficiently. A check-in kiosk with integrated biometric readers can secure any business, from small offices to multi-storey enterprises.
Health checks prior to entering a building are now considered the ‘new normal.’ Access control kiosk enclosures can be fitted with a variety of health conscious devices, such as fever check cameras, QR code scanners and hand sanitiser dispensers to ensure all precautions are taken.
Visitor Management
Integrated kiosks are an ideal visitor access control system for busy offices. Significantly reduce queues and enable visitors to check-in quickly with this easy-to-use system. imageHOLDERS kiosk solutions can also include printer device integration, allowing for the printing of visitor badges for access.
Visitors’ arrival can be logged, so the time spent on the premises can be tracked. This is beneficial if they are charging by the hour as a record will be stored. Access cards can be created and printed, with a set usage time-frame, and restrictions added to any areas that they aren’t permitted to enter.
Time & Attendance
Significantly reduce the time it takes for workers to clock-in to just a couple of taps on a tablet.
Employees can log their attendance with a biometric attendance system. This kiosk solution can be added to reception areas for employees to use to submit their entrance and exit from the building. This quick method of checking-in is a non-disruptive attendance-tracking solution for companies looking to streamline current time and attendance systems.
This is ideal with a new flexible working structure, as you have a clear overview of when which employees are in the building and when they are working remotely.
Booking Meeting Rooms
Room booking software can ensure that meeting rooms are not double booked, and that supplies are controlled from a wall or glass mounted tablet enclosure outside of the meeting room.
Tablet kiosks can also help staff rise to the challenge of a new, connected generation of customers.
This is even more important in the current day, due to sometimes requiring covid-secure ‘bubbles’ and for track and trace, to see when which employees were working within close proximity of each other.
Warehouse & Stock Control
The warehouse kiosk can be used as an access point to view the office calendar, this gives visibility to which members of staff are in the warehouse on each day.
Warehouse kiosks make it easy to log and manage requests, as well as viewing staff on the shop floor.
Scanner devices can be integrated to log, manage and check stock.
