A fast, frictionless, and efficient reception process is your first step towards providing a satisfying experience for customers visiting your business. While bringing in well-trained front desk staff to handle intake can help ensure you meet these service standards, in today's interconnected digital ecosystem, you should look to software solutions to reduce your staffing needs. An effective ‘digital receptionist’ can handle all the primary responsibilities of a real receptionist integrating into your existing customer relations management (CRM) platforms and saving you money every step of the way.
Upon arrival, visitors streamline the visitor sign process using Greetly's software. They can use a kiosk or go touchless using their own smartphone. A visitor will provide the reason they are visiting, their name and other info your office wants to collect, take a picture, and eSign documents.
Real-time notification alerts are sent to the host employee or user upon the visitor's check-in. With our highly customizable check in app, notifications can be sent through text, email, phone call, Microsoft Teams, Slack, or Google Hangouts. Or any combo.
The check-in process is complete, and the visitor and employee can get down the business. Since the entire process is digital, everything is stored in your cloud-based visitor management logbook, including entry and exit time, host, and all data you choose to collect.
A digital receptionist can be a stand-alone software or app that works alongside your current business phone system and CRM platform, enhancing desk operations by providing an efficient and inviting experience for visitors and the entire team. Here are some of the key services offered by digital receptionist software:
A digital receptionist is meant to supplement or replace a traditional front-desk reception experience. By using modern technology and hardware and built-in integrations, visitors can complete the whole check-in process entirely on a dedicated tablet or desktop device. Rather than shuffle through physical paper forms attached to clipboards and have a live receptionist or front desk staff to then verify and manually input that information. A digital receptionist can tie all those steps together and automatically push the visitor info to an easily accessible cloud server.
A virtual receptionist is a person, company, or bot assistant who remotely handles phone call intake. Virtual receptionist software can integrate well for businesses that receive a high volume of callers. Virtual receptionists are helpful for screening callers, providing answers to common questions, and redirecting them to specific individuals they're trying to reach. More advanced bots may use interactive voice response (IVR) to give callers a more natural, conversational customer experience.

People do use the terms "Sign In App" and "Visitor Management System" interchangeably. A visitor management system is a broader term that includes every element of handling visitors, from checking them in to sending reception notifications, giving them access to the space, timing their departure, logging the visit, and more. A sign in app can be an element of a visitor management system.
Whatever you want to call it, we prefer the name Greetly!
