What are the components of an Integrated Visitor Management System?

Managing an influx of visitors at enterprises has been a challenge for decades. What could be the most efficient way to handle these visitors, while ensuring seamless workplace operations?

We do expect to know their basic details, their purpose of visiting and now in a post covid world, we would like to know their health status to check whether they are risk-free or not. Besides that, to manage them our aim would be to ensure that they have a comfortable experience. In a similar way, we evaluate a visitor management system for our workplaces.
