Transforming the reception area

What were the challenges XPO Logistics faced which drove the need to replace the paper visitor book with a digital solution?

Our reasons for moving to a digital system was part of modernizing the reception area and making the sign in process for visitors more automated.

When searching for a workplace management solution, what were the highest priorities for the business?

We wanted something that was easy to use so visitors could access without intervention.

Well, you came to the right place! SwipedOn is continually voted as easy to use by our customers. That said, what results did your company achieve by implementing SwipedOn?

After implementing the SwipedOn system, our visitor sign in process was much faster. While the receptionists were busy, visitors were still able to sign in. 

It sounds like SwipedOn hit the spot for easy visitor sign in. We aim to empower professional administrators so they can do more of what matters while ensuring visitors receive the warmest welcome imaginable. Is there anything specific to the supply chain industry which SwipedOn has proved an essential solution for?

When there are fire drills within the company, we are able to make sure that all visitors are accounted for and have been evacuated safely.

We know there are a number of different visitor management solutions on offer - what was the biggest reason for your company choosing SwipedOn as your solution?
