The ALICE Receptionist Investment will help your manufacturing company increase your revenue per employee benchmark by replacing the lobby receptionist with a better technology alternative.
Many manufacturers have already moved away from the dedicated lobby receptionist, and because of previous health scares, this trend is likely to accelerate. Modern visitor management systems (interactive kiosks) can fill the void by providing a great visitor experience, notifying hosts and employees when they have visitors, and collecting valuable data about visitor patterns.
Since the early 2000s, many manufacturers questioned the necessity of having a dedicated person sitting at a desk in your manufacturing company’s lobby. In some manufacturing lobbies, the reception area went empty; in others, an employee from another function wound up in a dual role. Today (2023), many manufacturers have to plan for lower staffing levels at any point in time or visitors who do not want any unnecessary human-to-human interactions.
The lobby reception is a moving target. Receptionist is multi-tasking and not helping visitors.
Reception expectations have changed drastically over the years. Dedicated receptionists used to be the norm in most offices. Some organizations have few visitors, some have many, but nearly every organization has a number of tasks that need to be done and can’t afford to have someone sitting idly in between greeting and assisting guests.
The facts are that many manufacturers are having a hard time finding and retaining a reliable lobby receptionist to Hire?
Is your manufacturing company struggling to find a lobby customer facing receptionist? You’re not alone. Around the country and the world, many manufacturing companies are struggling to find qualified lobby customer facing receptionists who are ready, willing, and able to do the work necessary. Why is this happening, and what can you do to meet your manufacturing company’s lobby’s needs?
From the 2020 health crises and delays in the supply chain to record high inflation and worldwide civil unrest, we’re wading through unprecedented times. As a response to all of the pressure applied by the virus, inflation and slowed economy, the entire way we work has changed. But so has the way that we view work. As a result, many people have decided to either:
We will likely never work together in the same manner that we did before 2020. However, we can lean into technology to support our vacancies whenever possible. This is definitely true when it comes to your lobby receptionist needs.
If your lobby is open to the public (visitors, vendors, delivery drivers, investors or sales executives), you need a lobby receptionist who can welcome visitors into your office while also controlling the flow of incoming and outgoing traffic. But no one said it had to be a human receptionist.
ALICE Receptionist is The Manufacturing Company’s Alternative
While it’s true that technology and humans can work together, it’s also true that you can use technology to help your company out when you can’t find a good enough human to fill your receptionist job vacancy. Virtual receptionist tools can step into the role of front desk clerk and handle a wide range of responsibilities such as:
Imagine greeting your visitors with a branded, premium, state of the art kiosk / wall mount / desktop system set up in your front lobby. This state-of-the-art system can handle all of the above and then some.
Since the pandemic hit, companies in the manufacturing industry have faced severe challenges. New risks and major disruptions created numerous challenges as many manufacturing companies are trying to recover their lost revenue and streamline their supply chain.
During Q1 2020, manufacturing companies closed facilities and restructured their employees’ work environment in ways that would permanently impact their business. The phrase “hybrid work” was introduced, and employees’ work models changed, blending in-office, remote, and on-the-go workers. The lobby receptionist was one of the most challenging positions in this new environment.
Every month throughout 2022 and 2023, over 50 manufacturing companies assigned operational executives and facility managers to begin researching online for alternatives to live receptionists in their corporate lobbies. A considerable uptick has been seen in online search phrases such as Virtual Receptionist, Lobby Management, Visitor Management Systems, and Lobby Kiosks.

One of a manufacturing company’s most crucial components is security. Even though there are many ways to raise protection, executing and implementing an efficient lobby system is a great place to start. Because of this, facility managers and IT executives should prioritize selecting a system that can monitor the lobby continuously around the clock, 365 days a year, with a one-way camera. manufacturing companies must consider security carefully when choosing the best visitor management solution option. Ask your provider where all the data is stored before making a choice. A visitor solution must include more layers of safety due to the rush of guests coming. Company executives now need more access to real-time data more than ever.
