Lobbipad is a 5-star rated, GDPR-compliant visitor & delivery management platform that allows companies welcome their visitors in a secure, professional, efficient and GDPR-compliant manner. Since 2015, Lobbipad has enabled hotels, factories, corporations, schools, museums, professional associations, co-working spaces, nonprofit organizations, and multiple-tenant offices to effortlessly manage visitor & delivery experiences, without the use of any paper. The concept of Lobbipad is simple: - In the company lobby there is an iPad which visitors can use to sign in. - Visitors enter their details (or scan a QR code) and then select the person they have an appointment with. Using the QR code visitors can sign in without any contact with the iPad. - Your staff member will be notified via SMS/Email/MS Teams notification that a visitor is waiting for him/her in the lobby. The message also displays an image of the visitor, so that your staff member can quickly identify the right visitor, and address them by name. - A wireless label printer prints a badge that the visitor can use for identity purposes. - Via a web interface, you can always see who is signing in and out, who is still in the building, request analyses/statistics about visits, etc. - Lobbipad also offers the possibility of receiving packages via the iPad. When the package's barcode is scanned, a message is automatically sent to the relevant staff member, informing them that the package has arrived. Furthermore, through a partnership with goforest.be, we plant a tree every 1.000 visitors.
