People presence management is the practice of tracking visitors, employees, and contractors in and out of sites. More and more, organizations are managing visitors using cloud-based software and applications. But if people are signing in at a kiosk, how can you know whether these people are who they say they are?

“We are excited to offer our customers an additional layer of security with WolScan.  The responsibility on organizations to keep those in their care safe and secure has grown exponentially over the last few years. From the inception, WhosOnLocation was all about giving organizations an easier way to keep those onsite safe. WolScan is another feature to further cement visitor safety”, says Darren Whitaker-Barnett, WhosOnLocation CEO and Founder.

That’s where world-class people presence software WhosOnLocation comes in. WolScan is our exciting new feature which adds a further layer of security to the way you greet, manage and maintain your on-site security. WolScan allows you to automatically capture visitors’ information by simply scanning their passport, driver’s license or generic photo ID information at sign-in.

WolScan is an iPhone app for use by reception and security teams tasked with the responsibility of ensuring only authorized people are permitted on to a site.

Our decision to deploy our ID scanning solution as an app for iPhone was deliberate. These same users can also add our mobile evacuation app; WolEvac, to the same device ensuring our customers gain the greatest ROI from their investment in new hardware. We want to make it as easy and as hassle-free as possible to enable our customers to deliver a safe and secure operating environment for their employees, contractors, and visitors.
