Important Notice: This App Will Be Deprecated on 13 January 2026 This version of the Donesafe Connect app is being officially deprecated and will be removed from the App Store on 13 January 2026. We’ve launched a new and improved version of the Donesafe Connect app, built on a modern tech stack with enhanced performance, reliability, and long-term support. If you're currently using this legacy version, we strongly recommend transitioning to the new app before the deprecation date to avoid disruption. You can find the updated version by searching “Donesafe Connect” in your app store. After 13 January 2026, this app will no longer receive updates or support, and some features may stop functioning as expected. Scan the QR code and connect this companion app to your existing Donesafe solutions. SOLUTIONS Visitor Registration Manage your on-site visitors safely, from the moment they enter to when they leave. Donesafe’s Visitor Registration solution combines Donesafe’s end-to-end safety and compliance system with a touchless visitor registration solution. This solution allows your site visitors to sign in at your company-branded sign-in station by scanning a QR code and completing the registration on their own device using their existing browser – no other apps required. When the user scans the QR code on the sign-in kiosk, requiring no contact with the kiosk itself, but you can have as many visitors signing in at the same time as you need. Once they’ve signed in they receive a digital entry pass that they can carry on their own device and have an optional entry pass printed as well. When they’re ready to leave they simply walk up and scan the kiosk again, or simply tap sign out on their digital entry pass on their way out the door. Furthermore, thanks to Donesafe’s existing automation and configuration tools, you can also set up the visitor kiosk to work in a more traditional, touch-based manner, for those situations where visitors may not be able to use their own device on site. • Secure, tablet-based sign-in/sign-out stations • Touchless sign in/sign out • Fully integrated with an end-to-end safety and compliance platform. • Integrated with Donesafe’s existing reporting and visitor management systems. • Traditional touch screen sign-in/out also supported • Configurable tablet layout design allowing company logos and colours as well as tailoring to your business use cases. • Users can sign in with their own device through a browser – no other apps required • Multiple users can sign in at the same time from the same kiosk • User sign-in process uses existing site colours and logo – no further configuration required. • Photos are taken on entry • Printed and Digital Entry passes • Remote sign out through the digital pass. • QR code on Entry passes that link to their sign-in record for security verification. • Fully integrated with Donesafe’s automation engine • Configurable notification messages to visitees and visitors Requirements • The visitor registration solution will need to have been installed on your Donesafe account in order to set up a sign-in kiosk. • To enable Donesafe Connect on your device, scan the QR code from your Donesafe system registration – this may be sent to you by a system administrator. • The Visitor Registration Kiosk requires iOS 14 or higher. • To sign in on their own device, Visitors simply require an internet-connected device with a QR code reader and a browser – no other apps required.
