Custom branding starts from the Enterprise license, other than the logo which is a part of the Profesional one.

Is it possible to decentralize Digital Reception?

Yes, it's possible to manage all reception from one central location. You can get in contact by phone or a video call with a certain visitor. Also, when visitors have questions, they can set up a call. Isn’t that hospitality!

Can we add video calling?

Yes. We have several providers we can connect to set up these call services. Visitors will be able to press a button and will be connected to a centralized reception desk or even a particular company. This way, Digital Reception offers a personal touch!

How does Digital Reception manage visitor registration?

There will be a list of visitors in the management system, so you will know exactly who is in your building. This is mandatory in case of an emergency.

We have an idea to extend the Digital Reception software. Is that possible?

A content management system within Digital Reception will make your work easier. You will be able to change anything in a split second. That’s great for flex offices!

When the visitors check in, how can they navigate?

You can include a map in your software. That way, the visitors can orient and find their destination quickly and easily. You could consider improving your space further with our floor maps (link) or wayfinding signs (link) that are seamlessly integrated within the system.

Can visitors use their smartphones to find their destination?

Yes, Digital Reception will provide them with a QR code (Enterprise license) or a simple link they can open on their mobile phone. From that moment on, they will have all the needed information right there in their pocket (or hand).

We have analog wayfinding signs and want to digitize them. Can we do this with your software?
