Visitor Communication System for Secure and Smart Visitor Interaction

Communicating efficiently with all visitors is an important aspect of an organization that has moved to a digital first approach. The Visitor Communication System allows for real-time, secure communication between a visitor and host and improves the level of security, while also improving efficiency during these interactions.

The use of the Splan Virtual Assistant with Video Intercom for Visitor Management added to existing kiosk workflows provides a means for this type of instant, secure communication without having to utilize third-party tools.
