A b o u t F r e q u e n t V i s i t o r M a n a g e m e n t P a g e 3 What is a Frequent Visitor? Regular Visitor, Frequent Visitor, Recurring Visitor, Repeat Visitor, Favourite Visitor, VIP, Pre-approved Visitor call them what you like people who have a high level of attendance at your location often need to be treated differently to that of standard, one-off, or infrequent attendance visitors. In most cases our users tell us that they wished they could identify or tag high worth customers, members of the board, regular suppliers, so that when they arrived on site they could be processed quicker. Here at WhosOnLocation we have some great developments in our roadmap for managing regular visitors and the major summer release in February 2014 will really set a new benchmark in regular visitor management and innovation in this specific area. Right now what can you do to make the visitor experience a positive one for these people. Pre-register Visitors Pre-registering Visitors is extremely easy. Employees can: 1. Pre-register visitors to visit themselves 2. Pre-register visitors to visit a colleague 3. Pre-register Groups of visitors. 4. Setup Frequent Visitor Profiles to speed up the pre-registration of Visitors In addition.. 1. Reception Managers can pre-register visitors on behalf of employees To learn more about Visitor Pre-registration go to the Helpdesk and enter Pre-register a Visitor into the Search tool. Setup Frequent Visitors One of the most common traits amongst organisations worldwide is the recurring or frequent visitor. Each time you pre-register a visitor you are required to complete their name, where they are from, whom they are visiting, and possibly a range of other visitor information like Mobile/Cell number, Vehicle Registration etc Your WhosOnLocation account supports the ability for employees to setup their own frequent visitor profiles. To learn more about Setting up Frequent Visitor Profiles go to the Helpdesk and enter Setup Frequent Visitor Profiles into the Search tool. 3 P a g e

A b o u t F r e q u e n t V i s i t o r M a n a g e m e n t P a g e 4 Issue Frequent Visitors with an Express Sign in Card One of the common requests centres around the following question: Can we issue some of our regular visitors with an ID Card which they can use to scan themselves into our site? The simple answer is yes but as there is no current Frequent Visitor Card Scan in out Issuance feature we have to do a workaround using the Contractor Management function. 1. Have an Administrator grant you access rights to the Contractor Management Role. 2. Login and select Contractor Management 3. Next select Add New under Contractor Entity 4. Create a new Contractor Entity and call it something like: Frequent Visitors or Approved Visitors, or VIP s or whatever. Continued overleaf 4 P a g e
