Vizito, Highly Customizable

Our sign-in app can be tailored to the specific needs and requirements of a business or organization. You can configure settings such as fields to be captured, badge printing, agreements, privacy policy, photo capture, and more.
Our visitor registration app is brandable and gives you the ability to customize it to fully represent your brand. You can add your logo and choose your brand colors to create a professional and consistent look, which can help make a great first impression on visitors.
How our Visitor Management System Works
Replace the pen-and-paper sign-in process with front desk automation that handles visitor registration, host notifications, and badge printing. Signing in visitors with a tablet, visitor kiosk, or QR code is much faster and more efficient, especially with the pre-registration feature. Our digital visitor logbook gives you a complete audit trail of every visit.
The visitor signs themselves in using the device (or through contactless sign-in), fills in the form, signs agreements, and claims the printed badge.
The host (employee) gets instantly notified of the visitor’s arrival via Email, SMS, Teams, or Slack.
In a short amount of time, the guest is warmly greeted and welcomed by their host.
The visitor signs out by searching their name on the system and optionally fills in a visitor satisfaction survey.
Digital Reception Software That Works With Your Team
Vizito will transform your reception area into a modern digital front desk. Some fear that visitor management software will replace real-life receptionists or overcomplicate the sign-in process, however, these are both myths. While visitor sign-in software can reduce costs for smaller companies, it is actually best used in combination with a receptionist.
Receptionists have heavy workloads and automating repetitive tasks will allow them to prioritize providing a warm welcome and offering assistance with questions. Our customers also often get compliments on how easy and intuitive it is for their visitors to use our self-service kiosk. At the same time, you can keep track of your visitors and make data-driven decisions to improve the overall visitor experience with minimal effort.
What is a Visitor Management System?
A visitor management system (VMS) is workplace software that digitally tracks everyone entering and leaving your premises. Instead of using a paper logbook, visitors sign in through a self-service kiosk, tablet, or their own smartphone. The system captures visitor details, prints badges, notifies hosts, and maintains a complete digital audit trail.
Vizito is a modern visitor management system that goes far beyond simple registration. It automates front desk operations - from pre-registration and ID scanning to agreement signing and emergency alerts. Set up in under 10 minutes, no IT project required. Vizito gives you a real-time overview of who is on-site at any moment, turning your front desk into a secure, efficient, and professional first point of contact.
Who Needs a Visitor Management System?
Any organization that receives visitors benefits from visitor management software. While large enterprises were early adopters, this technology is equally valuable for small and medium-sized businesses. In fact, companies with limited reception staff often see the biggest time savings by replacing manual processes with a visitor kiosk.
Visitor management software is used across offices, manufacturing plants, logistics facilities, construction sites, schools, healthcare facilities, and many more industries. Any workplace where you need to know who is in your building - for security, compliance, or operational reasons - is a good fit for a visitor management system.
What are the Benefits?
Save Time and Resources
Make the sign-in process easy for everyone involved. Your staff can use their time and energy to focus on more value-adding tasks while your visitors are still welcomed into your office in an exceptional way. By digitizing the workflow, these systems can streamline the sign-in process and eliminate the need for manual data entry, resulting in reduced wait times for visitors.
Make a Great First Impression
Impress your visitors from the moment they enter with a seamless sign-in experience on a modern registration app that reflects your brand identity. With a VMS, visitors can pre-register before they arrive, so they know what to expect when they come on-site. Once they arrive, they can check in easily with a self-service kiosk or a tablet. The process is quick and efficient, saving visitors time and hassle, and ensuring they feel welcome and valued.
Gain visibility and control
With a digital VMS, you can accurately track and audit visitor activity. Compared to paper logbooks, there is better visibility and control over who is on the premises at any given time. By capturing and storing visitor information, these systems can provide valuable insights into visitor behavior, including how frequently visitors come and go, and how long they stay.
Manage and Protect Data
In terms of managing data, digital visitor registration solutions can help protect the data of visitors by eliminating the need for paper logbooks. These sign-in sheets are visible to other people and can potentially expose the information of your other visitors. VMS can help you be in compliance with requirements and privacy regulations like GDPR. According to the European Data Protection Board, organizations processing visitor data must implement appropriate technical and organizational measures.
Increase Safety and Security
Be at ease knowing that you are in a secure place with visitor screening and measures in case of emergency. Enhance visitor safety during a mass evacuation by preventing panic and alerting visitors promptly to promote calmness. Demonstrate that health and safety are a priority in your company by offering contactless sign-in options to keep your workplace hygienic and minimize physical contact.
Standardize Across Locations
Customize your VMS to reflect the needs of your different locations while still providing a consistent check-in process and a standardized framework for managing visitors. Ensure you have a centralized record of visitor activity across all locations to help with compliance and reporting requirements.
Perfect Solution - deployed across 55 European locations
We have an amazing experience with this application Vizito and we now use it in 55 locations in Europe and maybe expanding over more sites. The support is also perfect and when the system is running we do not have any more support needed.

Frequently Asked Questions About Visitor Management Systems
-
What is visitor management?
Visitor management is the process of tracking and managing people who visit your premises. It goes beyond simply welcoming guests - it includes registering visitors, ensuring they comply with your policies, notifying employees of arrivals, and maintaining a digital record of all visits for security and compliance purposes.
-
Why is visitor management important?
Your front desk is your first line of defense against unwanted visitors. A visitor management system makes sure you have visibility over the flow of people in your building by implementing multiple security-enhancing features.
Key benefits include:
-Enhanced security: Mandating visitor sign-ins alerts the appropriate individuals when someone enters or exits the premises.
-Streamlined check-in: No need for manual ID checks or notifying the office about arrivals. The software scans IDs directly and informs the relevant employee automatically.
-Reliable records: The software maintains a record of all visitor data, offering invaluable insights in case of any emergency. -
What types of visitor management systems exist?
There are three types: analog pen-and-paper, on-premise, and cloud-based. Pen-and-paper is the traditional method, but with increasing regulations and security risks, this is no longer sufficient for most businesses. On-premise software is installed locally on your servers, while cloud-based software like Vizito is offered as a service that can be accessed via the internet. Cloud-based visitor management systems are more cost-effective and easier to deploy and maintain.
-
What should I look for in a visitor management system?
Essential features to look for include: contactless sign-in, layout customization options, pre-registration, photo capture, badge printing, host notifications, agreements with signature capture, and emergency measures. A good visitor management system should also be GDPR compliant and offer integrations with your existing tools.
-
What does a visitor management system do?
A visitor management system records the sign-in and sign-out activity and collects data according to your business needs and requirements for audits and data-driven decision-making. It can also capture photos and signatures, do badge printing, as well as send notifications to hosts and visitors among other things.
-
How long does it take to implement?
Normally with Vizito, you can get started in less than 30 minutes. Depending on the complexity of your company’s requirements and configuration, this timeline can vary. Another big thing to consider as well is acquiring the hardware and internal approval process.
-
What hardware do I need?
You would need a tablet or computer (Vizito supports Apple, Android, or any browser-based kiosk) and a tablet mount to secure the device. If your company requires badge printing, then you would also need a label printer. To help you select hardware, we have listed our recommended hardware on this page.
-
How much does Vizito cost?
Visitor management systems typically range from free basic plans to enterprise pricing. Vizito offers three tiers starting at €29.95/month (billed annually) for Standard, €59.95/month for Pro, and €99.95/month for Enterprise. All plans include a 14-day free trial with no credit card required. The total cost depends on the number of visitors you welcome monthly and the features you need. See our pricing page for full details.
-
Is Vizito GDPR compliant?
Yes. Vizito is fully GDPR compliant and ISO 27001 certified. All data is hosted in Europe, and the system includes built-in privacy features such as customizable data retention policies, consent collection during check-in, and the ability for visitors to request data deletion. You can configure your own privacy policy and comply with all relevant privacy regulations. Learn more about our security and compliance.
-
How does a visitor management system work with access control?
A visitor management system can be integrated with access control systems (ACS) to provide an even more secure environment. By connecting Vizito’s API with your ACS, you can automate visitor access based on visitor type, duration of stay, or specific zones in your building - all while maintaining a detailed log of entry and exit activity. With ID card scanning, the check-in process becomes even smoother, eliminating manual data entry and enabling faster check-ins for returning visitors. See all integrations.
