Pre-approved Vendor Check-In

Overview

Streamlines the check-in process, enabling building guards and desk personnel to quickly identify pre-approved vendors, verify their ID and COI, and issue a badge without re-entering details or sending notifications.

This approach reduces congestion at entry points, saves time for both staff and vendors, and ensures that only approved, insured vendors are granted access. The result is a faster, more professional arrival experience for vendors and greater visibility and control for property teams.


Key Benefits

  • Expedited arrivals – Pre-approved vendors are processed quickly, minimizing delays at the desk or dock.

  • Consistent, professional experience – Creates a reliable and polished check-in process for recurring vendors.

  • Operational efficiency – Reduces administrative work for staff while keeping visitor logs accurate.

  • Verified compliance – Ensures vendors meet COI requirements before being granted access.

  • Transparent activity records – Provides property teams with clear visibility into vendor visits
