They were an early adopter of the SwipedOn system, first setting it up five years ago to keep track of visitors. Since then, the team has successfully rolled out the solution across a further 16 locations around the globe, and now also use it to manage employees, deliveries, and more.

Transforming the reception area

What were the challenges that gategroup faced prior to implementing a digital workplace sign in solution?

Due to the nature of our business, visitors are required to complete a health assessment before they can legally come on site. Prior to SwipedOn this was done manually, which meant staff were spending valuable time shuffling through paperwork when they needed to pull visitor information or H&S documentation.

What were your company's highest priorities when you were looking for a workplace sign in solution?

We needed a solution that looked professional, where visitors could easily sign themselves in and out without the help of a receptionist. It needed to be able to assist our Security team with compliance and fulfilling our health and safety responsibilities.

Why SwipedOn?

What was the biggest reason you and your team chose SwipedOn as your workplace sign in solution?

The biggest reason we chose SwipedOn was the simple set up. Being able to customize the sign in process to fit our business needs was also really important, especially from a health and safety perspective.

With the success we had at our pilot site, rolling SwipedOn out across more sites made sense.
