The Manufacturing Companies That Trust Us With Their Visitor Management

Show Responsible Stewardship of Tax-Payer Funds

By automating visitor check-ins and routing calls to the appropriate departments using ring groups and call forwarding, your staff can focus on other important tasks, reducing operational expenses and the need for additional personnel. During peak hours, the system supports multiple lines, so staff can assist several guests simultaneously, enhancing efficiency.

Build Trust With Your Community

By connecting staff to multiple remote kiosks, your library ensures consistent, high-quality visitor services and guidance across different locations. This increased accessibility ensures library users will feel more confident in the reliability and responsiveness of your services. They will know they can always count on your library for support and information, fostering a stronger, more engaged community.

“There are two big reasons why I am satisfied with ALICE. First, WinTech itself is a great team. They care and they want things to be done right and they want the customer to be happy. The second reason is the flow when you are actually using ALICE. It’s very easy. You don’t have to stand there and try and figure out what you’re supposed to do. It’s very user-friendly and makes us look great.”

- Hobie Sheeder, Vice President Real Estate and Workplace Services, TiVO

Provide a High-Quality People-First Visitor Experience

Motion detection enables a virtual attendant to proactively greet each guest and help them connect with the right person or find all the information they need. Additionally, customizable messaging allows your AI attendant to reflect your library and county’s unique culture, ensuring a welcoming experience for all visitors.

Improve Your Team's Efficiency

Integrate your web resources and event calendars with an interactive information kiosk. By syncing your calendar or online events page, you can inform your community of upcoming events and give visitors easy access to frequently requested online resources. Your staff will be free from having to manually update and share event details and resources, so they can focus on other priorities.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are the benefits of a library visitor management system?

A visitor management system offers various benefits for libraries:

Security and safety: To ensure the well-being of both visitors and staff, a visitor management system can oversee and regulate access control.
Emergency management: In case of an emergency, such as a fire or other hazards, having a record of all visitors present in the library helps ensure everyone is accounted for and can be evacuated safely.
Efficient operations: It streamlines the check-in and check-out process for visitors, reducing wait times and improving overall operational efficiency. This can free up library staff to focus on other important tasks.
Resource allocation: By tracking visitor details, libraries can allocate resources more effectively, such as staffing, seating arrangements, and available popular materials or services.
Community engagement: It can help libraries engage more effectively with their community by providing insights into who visits and what programs or services are most popular. This visitor data can inform future programming and outreach efforts.

Can your visitor management system be configured to meet the specific needs of our library?

Yes, we can configure your kiosk to accommodate your library system’s visitor needs, while reflecting your culture and branding. Our visitor management systems can also communicate in various languages (English, Mandarin, French, German, Dutch, Japanese, Portuguese, Spanish (Mexican), Amharic, Arabic, Korean, and Vietnamese) to accommodate diverse library visitors.

Do you offer ongoing customer support for your visitor management system?

Yes, as part of your ALICE Receptionist visitor management system, you will receive a complimentary training session on how to use the ALICE Configuration Application and the ALICE Admin Portal and have access to annual customer support, which includes phone, email, and chat support.
