Visitor Management Software For Every Business
ALICE Receptionist specializes in transforming your current office lobby management and visitor registration system with an easy to operate, virtual visitor receptionist.
Improve Your Lobby Management
How you manage visitors and the sign-in system for your office is an important decision, especially when you have hundreds of clients and customers coming through your doors. First impressions can make a huge difference in how a customer views or interacts with your business. It is crucial to ensure that information is communicated without delay providing a seamless initial interaction.
That’s where ALICE Receptionist comes in. We provide a lobby management and visitor receptionist software platform that helps you easily register every person who walks through your doors. Upon entry, the visitor check-in process can help manage most of the repetitive aspects of the client/customer interactions improving communication and enhancing the customer experience with assured consistency.
Simplify your processes and gain confidence that your front office visitor interactions run smoothly with a visitor receptionist system from ALICE Receptionist.
Today, most lobby management software systems are small and attached in some fashion as an afterthought to a fixture in your current lobby set up. There are options with iPads and laptop computers that let your office manager check people in and out available on the market today, but unfortunately, those options are difficult to use and can get overlooked. We usually find this equipment often becoming unused or forgotten.
ALICE Receptionist is unique in the lobby management space by offering various highly visible devices such as floor standing kiosks and large screens that are easy to access and use for your team and, more importantly, the customers visiting your office. This offering makes the check-in technology easy to spot and interact with so visitors can freely engage with your business in an easy and intuitive format.
In addition to high-visibility devices, we incorporated video and audio communications between the ALICE kiosk and your team as a vital component to the visitor management process. Instead of just focusing on the automation of a check-in process, ALICE ensures things are running smoothly by keeping the human element ingrained in your lobby management. See our demo here (link) for a quick overview showing how our video solution taps your current employee team directly to improve customer communication!
