7 reasons to retire the paper visitor book
The fire alarm goes off and nobody knows which contractors are still in the building, because the visitor book is a page of scribbles. Visitor Sign In turns a spare laptop or Android tablet at reception into a sign-in kiosk: visitors sign themselves in and out, you can print a fire roll call of everyone on site in one click, and a dashboard shows who visits and when.

- JSON backup and restore, and a demo reception to practise with
Good to know
- Visits are saved in the browser on the reception device only. Download a backup (JSON) regularly and use it to move to another device
- Visitor details are personal data. Edit the privacy notice to say why you collect them and how long you keep them, and set the auto-delete days to match
- The roll call lists visitors signed in with this app, not your own staff. Use it alongside your fire procedure
- The PIN stops casual browsing at reception; it is not strong security, because data is stored unencrypted in the browser

A good fit if you…
- UK offices, workshops, schools' site offices, surgeries, small factories, charities and co-working spaces with one reception

- email or text alerts to hosts
- several devices sharing one list
- an app on iPhone or iPad

FAQ
Questions people ask
Can two tablets share one visitor list?
No. Each device keeps its own list. Use one device at reception.
Does it print visitor badges or email the host?
No. It records sign-ins and prints the roll call. Reception tells the host.
Is it GDPR compliant?
The app keeps data only on your device and can delete old visits automatically, but compliance depends on how you use it. Write your own privacy notice; the ICO website has guidance.
What happens after I pay?
This is a digital product. Nothing physical will be shipped. Your download link appears straight after checkout and is also emailed to you.
Can I get help if I'm stuck?
Yes. Message us at info@phkmedia.co.uk and we'll help you set it up.
