The more we live and work from home, the greater the need for working together with our teams and partners. Business travel and visiting partners, clients, and prospects have returned to pre-pandemic levels. Many companies are going out to spend quality time with their most important vendors, suppliers, or customers way more than before because in-person meetings matter.

The increasing number of in-person meetings brings a fairly old but big problem back to the table—”How can you provide an outstanding visitor experience and manage your reception properly in this new hyper-flexible work environment?”

It’s not an easy problem, but we have a great solution. Every visitor management solution should be deeply integrated with your teams’ software tools, such as Microsoft Teams and OfficeRnD Workplace.

Read on to learn more about our visitor management system in Microsoft Teams.

Visitor Management for Hybrid Working

Visitor management systems have come a long way from paper sign-in sheets and manual tracking. As organizations grow and evolve, so do their needs for better security, efficiency, and data management. Isn’t that the right way to handle visitors?

Traditional methods consume time, effort, and valuable resources, leaving security and data accuracy gaps.

This is especially true in hybrid work environments where employees, guests, and deliveries constantly move in and out of the office.

The need for a robust, streamlined visitor management system has never been greater. This is where the OfficeRnD Visitor Hub shines.

It ensures a smooth, efficient, and hassle-free sign-in process, allowing your team to focus on what matters most – providing exceptional service and maintaining a secure environment.

Key Benefits: 

  • Simplified Visitor Sign-In Process: Save time and reduce friction by streamlining your visitor sign-in process with pre-registration, one-click check-ins, and instant notifications to hosts via email and the Visitor Hub app.
  • Effortless Delivery Management: Easily track deliveries and ensure timely notifications to recipients upon arrival, reducing time and effort.
  • Enhanced Security: Customize your check-in requirements to keep your workplace compliant, safe, and secure, ensuring your check-in process aligns with your organization’s safety and security policies.
  • Impressive Guest Experience: Make a great first impression on your guests with a professional and efficient sign-in process.
  • Consolidated Tech Stack: Avoid paper sign-in sheets by seamlessly transitioning to an all-in-one system that consolidates all visitor management tasks.

Visitor Management in Microsoft Teams

When we launched our OfficeRnD Workplace <> Microsoft Teams integration, we didn’t expect it to be such a big success. It solved the Desk and Meeting room booking problem in Teams exceptionally well. Furthermore, we also integrated our Hybrid Visitor Hub with Teams to continue our path toward a fully integrated, seamless experience for employees and their guests.

Hosting visitors and receiving deliveries is now even more seamless with the addition of Teams notifications. These add to the existing notification channels—email and mobile app push notifications in the OfficeRnD Workplace work app.

Key Benefits

  • Instant Alerts: Receive real-time notifications directly on your MS Teams, ensuring you are promptly informed about visitors and deliveries.
  • Improved Efficiency: Manage visitors and deliveries more efficiently without disrupting your workflow, all thanks to the tool you use daily.

The notifications are triggered:

  • To the host when visitors arrive and are checked in via the Visitor Hub app or the admin page.
  • To the delivery recipient when deliveries are registered via the Visitor Hub app.

We’re always looking for ways to improve your experience, and we hope this new feature helps you stay even more organized.
