A Visitor Sign-In System that Replaces the Paper Logbook at Reception

Visitor registration, check-out and a searchable visitor log — running on the iPad and phones you already own
lightning-fast, do-it-yourself check-ins

🏢 Offices

Guests sign in at the lobby iPad, the person they came to see is alerted the moment they arrive, and reception never touches a logbook.

🏭 Facilities

Contractors and deliveries logged at every entrance, with check-out times so you always know who is still on site.

🏥 Clinics

Patients, reps and contractors sign in on a tablet at the desk, capturing company, who they are visiting and reason for the visit, so you keep a timestamped record of every arrival. It’s easy to start — just print a OneTap QR code and put it on the wall.

🏫 Schools

Front-office visitor sign-in for campuses, with check-out times and a live view of who is on site right now — useful on a drill day. For classroom and event attendance, see OneTap for schools
Put your logo and colours on the sign-in screen and on every visitor pass.

Everything a Visitor Management System Should Do

Let visitors sign themselves in at the front desk, so your receptionist stops copying names into a logbook and the person being visited knows their guest has arrived.

Visitor Sign-In Without the Queue

There is no app for your visitors to download. They scan the QR code at reception with their phone camera, or tap through a self-service iPad kiosk, and they are signed in before anyone has to reach across the desk. More on kiosk mode on an iPad

Instant Host Notifications

The moment a visitor signs in, OneTap can send an SMS or email alert to the person they came to see. No calls from the front desk, and nobody left standing in the lobby wondering whether anyone knows they have arrived.
Choose who gets told the moment someone arrives:
  • The host they came to see, by SMS or email, the second they check in.
  • Reception or security, for contractors and deliveries.

A Visitor Log You Can Search

Search the log by name, company or date, and see who visits, how often and how long they stay — in one simple visitor reporting system.
Every sign-in is timestamped and saved against a visitor profile, so repeat visitors are recognised next time they come in. Export the whole visitor log to Excel, CSV or PDF whenever an audit asks for it.
  • Match every visit to a profile, so repeat visitors are recognised on arrival and the log stays clean instead of filling up with duplicate names.
  • Turn on check-out so entry and exit times are both on the record — then open the live view to see exactly who is in the building right now. For staff rather than guests, see the employee attendance app

Discover Answers to Your Frequently Asked Questions

What is a visitor management system?

A visitor management system records who comes into your building: it signs visitors in at the door, captures the details you need, tells the host their guest has arrived, logs the exit, and keeps a searchable record of every visit. It replaces the paper visitor book at reception. With OneTap the visitor scans a QR code or uses an iPad kiosk, and the system remembers them for their next visit, so signing in a second time takes seconds.

What are the main features of a visitor management system?

Five things: visitor registration at the door, a visitor badge or digital pass, a notification to the host, check-out, and a searchable visitor log you can export. OneTap does all five. Add custom fields to capture company, purpose of visit or a signed waiver, and every check-in is saved to the Sheet you are running plus the visitor's own profile for next time.

How secure is visitor data in OneTap?

We use industry-standard security to protect your account, such as encrypted passwords, end-to-end secure HTTPS connections, secure sessions, and Google OAuth login. Our servers and databases are located in the United States North East Region.

Do visitors need to download an app to sign in?

No. Visitors scan a QR code with their phone's own camera and sign in from the browser, or they tap through the iPad kiosk at your front desk — nothing to install, no account to create. Regular visitors who want to keep their pass and see their own check-in history can download the free OneTap Visitor App for iPhone or Android, but it is entirely optional and nobody is blocked without it.

Is there a free visitor management system?

Yes. OneTap's Individual plan is free forever for up to 20 visitor profiles, and it includes unlimited check-ins, the iPad kiosk, QR check-in codes and Excel uploads. Paid plans start at $49.99 per month, billed yearly, for 250 profiles. See all plans and pricing

Does OneTap print visitor badges or scan ID cards?

OneTap issues digital passes to Apple Wallet and Google Wallet rather than printing plastic or sticker badges, and on the Pro plan it can scan barcodes you already use, such as employee or student ID cards. It does not print badges, and it does not read or verify government ID documents such as a driver's licence. How QR code passes work

How do I see who is in the building right now?

Open the live view and you see every visitor who has checked in and not yet checked out, on any device, updating in real time. That is the same list you would pull up on a phone during a fire drill or an evacuation, and you can export it afterwards.
