Overview

Every adult on campus, identified

Schools welcome parents, tutors, contractors, suppliers and guests every day. Each one needs to be identified and every visit recorded, but a paper sign-in sheet at the gate makes that difficult.

Zapio VMS gives schools and universities a fast, bilingual check-in. Visitors are photographed, screened against your watchlist and issued a badge, so staff can see at a glance that an adult on campus has checked in.
