  • Real-time visitor tracking

    See who is on-site now and review visitor activity.

  • Watchlist screening

    Flag restricted visitors automatically and alert security.

  • Digital audit trail

    Keep searchable records of every visit.

  • Digital NDA & agreements

    Capture acknowledgements and signatures digitally.

  • Emergency evacuation

    Live visitor and employee headcounts during emergencies.

Why businesses choose Zapio VMS

The paper logbook vs Zapio VMS

Paper logbooks, spreadsheets and phone calls leave gaps. They are slow at busy receptions, hard to search and expose previous visitors’ details. Zapio brings the whole visit into one secure, searchable system.
