So much to do, so few people to do it…

So why are visitors still not happy? The truth that most of us seem to overlook is that service is just as important as looks if not more so. Once the mind is past being awestruck with the look and feel of the place it tends to soak in the quality of service. Therefore we have endeavoured to list below some key issues that displease customers, · Long queues · Fat registers · Incompetent front office or security personnel · Slow check in/check outs The root cause can be traced to the lack of trained and competent front office/security personnel to handle the many jobs of your everyday front office. Every administration at some point or the other comes across the singular task of having to find competent front office personnel. It does not suffice just to find trained people but to find enough to do the job. The front office of any company handles many types of jobs from procuring information from visitors, keeping tabs on materials that they are bringing in or taking out, ensuring that the right person is intimated about the visitor, receiving couriers to handling non contractual staff, collecting keys, keeping tabs on vehicles and drivers. It is a full-fledged job that keeps one on his/her toes day in and day out. On the other hand is it feasible to employ more front office personnel… The solution to this seemingly unsolvable problem is Visitor Management Software.
