Solutions / Visitor & Contractor Management

Visitor & Contractor Management

Every visitor and contractor, checked in, badged, and compliant.

From the lobby to the shipping dock to the contractor gate, UnDesked checks people in, prints the badge, collects the paperwork, and tells the host they have arrived. This is the most mature, most widely deployed part of the platform.

Built multilingual, so check-in and contractor onboarding happen in the visitor's language.

One front door for the whole site.

The old way is a stack of disconnected habits at every entrance. UnDesked folds them into one system that works the same at the lobby, the dock, and the gate.

Every visitor, every contractor

Know who is on site, in one place.

Check-in, badging, and contractor onboarding on one platform, in every visitor's language.

A contractor's whole arrival, automated.

Every contractor moves through the same sequence, set up once and translated automatically. Steps route on their own, and the badge will not print until each one is done.

Pre-register
Upload COI & license
Site safety agreement
Orientation + quiz
Badge at the gate
Host notified

Answer yes to a question like roof access and a hot work permit is added on the spot, routed to the contractor and the host to co-sign. Nothing prints until everything required is complete.

Made from the same building blocks.

Visitor and contractor management is not a separate silo. It is assembled from the platform's resource types, so you can edit any step, reorder it, or add your own.

Notification

Host alerts by text, email, or Teams

Security and compliance, built into the front door.

For sites with real security exposure and regulatory requirements, screening and documentation happen at check-in, before anyone reaches the floor.

Security alertSILENT
Watch-list match at the Main Lobby. Do not approach.Security notified, the visitor is not alerted
TeamsTextEmailSignage
Meanwhile, the visitor sees
Thank you. Please have a seat, someone will be right with you.

Internal and organizational watch lists

Screen every check-in against your own lists and organization-wide lists. A flagged name never makes it onto the floor.

ITAR and export-control screening

Capture citizenship and approvals, and flag visitors and contractors for ITAR and export-control review before access is granted.

Discreet, multi-channel alerts

On a match, security is alerted silently by Teams, text, email, or a coded message on digital signage, while the visitor sees an ordinary screen.

Audit-ready documentation

Every check-in, signed agreement, and uploaded document is time-stamped and exportable. An inspection becomes a search, not a scramble.

Onboard on arrival

Safety briefings before the first step.

Contractors complete site-specific training at check-in, acknowledged in their own language.

Deploy it at every way in.

A workstation is wherever you need to control access. Run the same check-in on a kiosk, a tablet, or a printed QR code, at every point people enter the site.

Main lobby

A 27-inch kiosk with a built-in camera and badge printer.

Guard shack

Staffed check-in on a kiosk or a tablet.

Outer gates and fence line

A printed QR code, no hardware required.

Shipping and receiving

Carrier check-in at a dock kiosk or by QR.

Side and employee doors

A QR code or badge scan at every entrance.

Rally and muster point

The live roster on mobile admin, no hardware.

Hardware to match the spot.

The standard workstation is a 27-inch, industrial-grade touchscreen with a built-in camera for visitor photos and a badge printer. Anywhere a kiosk is overkill, a printed QR code runs the exact same check-in.

The supercharger

Check in, in their language.

Contractors and delivery drivers are among the most multilingual people who walk through your doors. UnDesked runs the entire check-in and contractor onboarding flow in the visitor's language automatically, in 210+ languages, and prints a badge the floor can still read in English.

Works for an English-only site. Becomes essential the moment a contractor cannot read the safety agreement they are signing.

IT keeps control.

Visitor and contractor management plugs into the stack IT already runs, so the front door is one less thing to govern separately.

Microsoft Teams

Check-in cards with photos and canned replies, right in Teams.

SSO, SCIM, and RBAC

Provision admins through your identity provider and scope what each role can see.

Microsoft 365

Hosts, groups, and notifications map to the directory you already run.

API and webhooks

Push visit and compliance records into the systems of record IT maintains.

See your front door run on UnDesked.

Bring your visitor types, your contractor requirements, and your busiest entrance. We will build the check-in live, in the languages your visitors speak.
