Overview

Stop security issues at the front door

Reception staff can't be expected to remember every person who should not be allowed on-site. A watchlist does that job for them, checking every visitor automatically as they check in.

When a visitor matches your watchlist, Zapio VMS flags the check-in and alerts your security team so they can verify the visitor before entry. Every match is recorded, giving you a clear history of flagged visits.

Security screening that doesn't slow down reception

Most visitors are exactly who they say they are, and they shouldn't wait longer because of security checks. Watchlist screening runs in the background, so legitimate guests check in normally while potential issues are raised immediately.

Combined with photo capture, printed badges and a full audit trail, watchlist screening gives security and facility teams far more control over workplace access than a paper logbook ever could.
