Track visit frequency, capture client feedback at check-out, and add custom intake fields that surface the data your team actually needs. Whether you’re identifying your highest-value clients or spotting gaps in the intake process, ALICE gives you a clear picture of who is visiting, how often, and why.
When ALICE Virtual Front Desk handles greetings, check-ins, and visitor routing, your attorneys, accountants, financial advisors, and consultants stay focused.

“There are two big reasons why I am satisfied with ALICE. First, WinTech itself is a great team. They care and they want things to be done right and they want the customer to be happy. The second reason is the flow when you are actually using ALICE. It’s very easy. You don’t have to stand there and try and figure out what you’re supposed to do. It’s very user-friendly and makes us look great.”
– Hobie Sheeder, Vice President Real Estate and Workplace Services, TiVO
ALICE checks in every visitor consistently and sends your team an automatic notification when a guest arrives. Optional driver’s license verification and background screening against private and government watch lists inform your team of security risks.

“This was impactful for us because we were able to cut the costs of an entire reception. ALICE serves its job well and provides a fairly easy start-to-finish solution for clients to reach the people they are wanting to get ahold of when they enter the building.”

“The ability to customize ALICE for our specific needs to transform our lobby into a self-contained, welcoming and safe place to interact with our staff throughout the building without having a person in this area.”

“Easy to use and provides a positive first impression of the company without the need to hire and train the right person. Also, since it doesn’t need breaks, vacations, or sick time, it is always there to [greet] your guests.”

“We were able to eliminate a position that was always hard for us to fill and keep! People who have come in have loved it, we have great feedback!”
Differentiators
Most visitor management systems wait for the visitor to interact with them. ALICE detects motion and greets visitors, providing instructions on next steps before anyone has to ask. For professional services clients, that proactive presence signals a firm that’s attentive and organized.
A dedicated receptionist costs almost $40,000 per year in salary alone according to the US Bureau of Labor. That’s before benefits, turnover, and training. ALICE delivers consistent front desk coverage at a fraction of that cost, with no sick days, no gaps during peak hours, and no retraining when staff turns over.
ALICE Receptionist has spent over a decade refining visitor management for professional services organizations. The results speak for themselves. According to InfoTech, 97% of our customers plan to renew, reflecting a long-term partnership approach rather than a set-it-and-forget-it product.
According to InfoTech, 100% of ALICE customers rate our service team as effective and knowledgeable — the highest possible mark. That’s not an accident. Every ALICE deployment includes onboarding support, annual check-ins, and a team that picks up the phone. As your office evolves, we’re here to help you adjust your configuration, retrain staff, and get the most out of the platform.

An automated receptionist system like ALICE delivers value across four areas that matter most to professional services firms — including law offices, real estate agencies, financial advisory practices, and consulting organizations:
Yes. ALICE is configurable to reflect your firm’s brand, tone, and workflow. You can customize the avatar’s greeting script, on-screen instructions, and language to align with how your office communicates with clients.
Custom data fields let you capture intake information specific to your practice. If your firm serves clients in multiple languages, ALICE supports multilingual instructions as well.
Yes. Every ALICE subscription includes a complimentary onboarding training session to get your team up and running. From there, you have access to our U.S.-based support team by phone, email, and chat throughout your subscription.
For many professional services firms, yes. ALICE handles the core functions of a front desk, including greeting visitors, managing check-ins, notifying staff, collecting signatures on intake documents, and screening guests.
Firms that previously relied on a dedicated receptionist have used ALICE to redeploy that staff member to higher-value work, or to eliminate the position entirely when it turned over. That said, ALICE works equally well as a complement to existing staff, handling routine lobby traffic so your team can focus on clients rather than the front door.
ALICE is designed with the privacy expectations of professional services firms in mind. ALICE captures and stores visitor data securely, with access controlled through the ALICE Admin Portal. Check-in flows can be configured to collect only the information your firm requires. Because check-in is handled digitally, there are no paper sign-in sheets and no publicly visible visitor logs.
ALICE can initiate a two-way video call between the visitor and the appropriate staff member or department. If the assigned contact is unavailable, ALICE can be configured to route the call to a backup contact or multiple team members simultaneously.
Most professional services deployments are operational within four to six weeks. That timeline covers hardware delivery, configuration, staff training, and integration with your existing tools such as Microsoft Teams or Google Calendar. Hardware selection is the primary variable affecting deployment time.
Yes. ALICE integrates with widely used business tools including Microsoft Teams for employee notifications and call routing. Microsoft and Google Calendar integrations connect ALICE’s guest scheduling and pre-check-in features to your existing appointments, so your team is automatically notified when a scheduled visitor arrives.
