One-size-fits-all approaches to visitor management often fall short in addressing the diverse needs and scenarios schools face. Traditional systems may struggle to accommodate a wide range of visitor types, from parents and contractors to volunteers and community members attending events.
This lack of flexibility can lead to inefficiencies, compromised security, and a less welcoming experience for visitors.
Recognizing these challenges, the Raptor VisitorSafe system reimagines school visitor management. With its customizable workflows, advanced identity verification, and flexible hardware support, Raptor VisitorSafe empowers schools to adapt their visitor management processes to meet specific requirements seamlessly.
Let’s take a closer look.
The Convenience and Security of Modernized Visitor Management
Whether it’s streamlining check-ins for frequent visitors or ensuring stringent security for first-time guests, Raptor’s VisitorSafe system provides the adaptability and reliability that modern schools need to maintain a safe and efficient campus.
Here’s how:
1. Configurable Workflows
Raptor VisitorSafe provides highly customizable visitor screening workflows tailored to meet specific school needs. Schools can configure workflows to handle various visitor types such as parents, contractors, volunteers, and community members. This flexibility allows schools to combine different workflows across the district, ensuring that each unique scenario is managed efficiently and securely.
By offering tailored experiences, Raptor VisitorSafe enhances the overall visitor experience while maintaining stringent safety protocols.
2. Flexible Hardware Support
Raptor VisitorSafe supports various modes on Macs, PCs, iPads, and Android tablets, making it adaptable to different school environments. Schools can choose between operator-assisted and self-serve modes, allowing for a personalized front desk experience or a quick, efficient self-check-in process.
This flexibility ensures that schools can deploy the system in a way that best meets their operational needs without compromising on safety or efficiency.
3. Advanced Identity Verification and Comprehensive Database Screening
Raptor VisitorSafe adopts advanced identity verification technology from secure industries like banking and finance. This includes photo capture and instant screening of visitors’ government-issued ID cards against sex offender registries in all 50 states. By ensuring that only safe individuals gain access to the campus, this feature significantly enhances school security and provides peace of mind to administrators, staff, and parents alike.
Raptor VisitorSafe also enables comprehensive screening of visitors through an unlimited library of custom databases created by the school or district. This includes databases for custodial restrictions, expelled students, and banned individuals.
“We’ve had a huge positive response to Raptor Visitor Management, especially from our families, our public. They loved the idea of having a process where we could better vet who’s coming in the buildings.” Mike Matthews, Director of Operations at Fairview Park City Schools, Ohio
By leveraging these databases, schools can ensure that only safe and authorized individuals gain access to the campus, thereby significantly enhancing overall safety and security.
4. Visitor Arrival Notifications
Raptor VisitorSafe offers a notification system that alerts staff or appropriate personnel when a specific visitor arrives. This feature enhances communication within the school, ensuring that staff are promptly informed and can prepare for the visitor’s arrival.
Real-time alerts also allow for immediate action on potential threats such as identity matches on a sex offender or custom database, alerting administrative staff and helping provide proactive safety.
“Parents appreciate our use of Raptor. They are happy that we are screening visitors and have an online list of who is on campus. Faculty and staff enjoy having a system that they can use for drills. As administrators, the reunification drill we conducted gave us a vision and peace of mind that we can and will be able to reunify families efficiently.” Yvette Cavender, Grammar School Principal at Coram Deo Academy, TX
By leveraging these features, the Raptor VisitorSafe visitor management system ensures that schools can adapt to the unique needs of different campuses while maintaining a high level of safety and efficiency.
