Furthermore, it automates the management of visitors and contractors through features such as digital check-ins, data collection, QR codes, kiosks, and live tracking logs, ensuring that you always have an accurate understanding of who is present on-site and for what purpose, while also reinforcing biosecurity measures and traceability through established check-in protocols and movement monitoring to mitigate potential threats across different locations. In addition, Onside offers tools for farm operations, which consist of interactive property maps, task delegations, templates, checklists, and comprehensive reporting features, all aimed at facilitating smoother daily workflows and simplifying compliance documentation.

friendlyway Visitor Management is a cloud-based solution that automates the full visitor lifecycle – from invitations and pre-registration to self-service check-in, badging, and checkout. It connects with self-service kiosks or tablets so visitors can register themselves, scan a QR code or ID, capture a photo, and instantly receive a printed badge or access card. The system supports different visitor categories (guests, contractors, employees, temp workers, event attendees) and can be deployed across a single site or multiple locations. Organizations can configure tailored workflows for each visitor type, including pre-visit questionnaires, NDAs and other agreements, safety briefings, knowledge checks, and e-signatures to meet internal policies and regulatory requirements. Online and onsite registration forms, omnichannel invitations and notifications, and multi-language support help standardize the process and deliver a consistent branded experience. Reception and security teams benefit from real-time dashboards that show who is expected, who is on-site, and when visitors have checked out. The solution integrates with physical access control systems, Microsoft 365/Outlook, calendars, and other enterprise tools to enable host notifications, visit approvals, and automated access provisioning. Built on the friendlyway Cloud Platform, the visitor management module can be combined with digital signage, wayfinding, and workforce management capabilities to support broader on-site experience and security use cases.
