School visitor register

Know who is on your school grounds right now.

Parents collecting early, contractors and visitors are signed in at the gate on the same phone that checks learners in, and signed out when they leave. The office sees who is on site, live.

At the gate

Signed in at the gate in seconds

Your security officer records the visitor on the gate phone and who they are visiting. Your school decides what is asked for: phone number, reason for the visit, ID number or vehicle registration.

  • Signed in on the gate phone in a few taps.
  • Your school chooses which details are required.
  • Every sign-in names who the visitor came to see.

In the office

Who is on site, right now

The office sees every visitor still on the premises and the full history behind them. Each day's visitor log downloads as a PDF for the file.

  • A live list of visitors still on the premises.
  • The full visitor history, kept for the office.
  • A daily visitor log to download as a PDF.

POPIA

ID numbers handled the POPIA way

Asking for an ID number is your school's choice, and it is off until you turn it on. When it is collected it is encrypted with a key that belongs to your school alone, and deleted when your retention period ends. Checking a visitor against your school's ban list uses a one-way fingerprint that cannot be turned back into an ID number.

  • Asking for an ID number is off until your school turns it on.
  • Stored encrypted under your school's own key, never in readable form.
  • Deleted when your school's retention period ends.

Safety

A register that stays true

Visitors are signed out from the register when they leave, so the list of who is on site is the real one. During a lockdown, new visitors cannot be signed in.

  • Visitors are signed out from the register when they leave.
  • No new visitor can be signed in during a lockdown.
  • Every sign-in and sign-out is written to the audit trail.
