How does Greetly improve school safety?

Greetly’s visitor management system screens every visitor during the check-in process. Schools can compare visitor information against watchlists or sex offender registries, issue visitor badges with photos and details, and ensure only approved individuals are allowed on campus. This helps maintain a secure environment without relying on paper sign-in sheets.

Can we run background checks during visitor check-in?

Greetly supports visitor screening at check-in by comparing names against internal watchlists in real time. While Greetly does not natively integrate with background check providers or national sex offender databases, schools can optionally use custom API or third-party integrations to enable additional background checks during the kiosk check-in process.

What types of notifications can staff receive?

Greetly provides instant notifications via SMS, email, Slack, Microsoft Teams, or Google Chat. When a visitor checks in, the right staff member receives real-time alerts so no one is left waiting at the front office. Schools can also set up automated notifications for pickups, deliveries, and emergency management scenarios.

How do visitor badges work in schools?

Visitor badges are automatically printed at check-in, showing a photo, name, and purpose of visit. This makes it easy for school staff to quickly identify who belongs on campus and what type of visitor they are (e.g., parent, contractor, volunteer). Badge printing enhances on-campus security by making visitors easily identifiable. 

Can Greetly support multiple schools or campuses?

Yes. Greetly is a scalable visitor management solution that works across multiple sites. Administrators can manage policies, permissions, and visitor logs from a single dashboard, making it simple to standardize safety protocols for entire districts or higher education systems.

What happens in an emergency?

In emergency situations like lockdowns or evacuations, Greetly helps with fast, accurate emergency management. The system provides real-time visibility into who is on-site, allows staff to send mass notifications, and enables visitors and employees to mark themselves safe.

How does a visitor management solution improve the visitor experience for schools?

A visitor management system replaces paper sign-in sheets with touchless kiosks and QR codes. It shortens wait times, keeps accurate digital visitor logs, and creates a safe, professional visitor experience for students, staff, and parents.
