​

• Roll Call is an essential feature to manage site safety and the safety of your visitors and contractors when an emergency happens

  • At the click of one button it sends an automated email to a pre-determined list of addresses (eg your fire wardens, security officers and contractor managers) listing every visitor currently logged in at your site. It will also print the list so wardens can check off visitors by contacting hosts or visitors directly

  • Don’t forget, our Cloud-based visitor and contractor management system is accessible on site or off site (with a login) so even in an immediate evacuation you can still access these records via a smartphone
     

• Before arrival visitors can be sent a configurable Confirmation email that can help them find the site, park and know what to expect at the point of reception or entry to your building
   

• Companies that require visitors and contractors to wear protective equipment can collect size information through Pre-registration, or collect it the first time they visit the site, and then use this information for future visits. This allows gatehouses and receptions to prepare for the next day by having packs of clothing already made up – size 9s and hard-hats to the ready!
   

• Time and date of log in and log out ensures you know who is on your premises, in real time. We have real-life examples of how this data has been used in security matters to prove whereabouts of visitors and hosts
   

• Wearing passes with photos and host name ensures visitors and contractors can be helped or challenged to ensure their safety, whether they have inadvertently entered a restricted area or if a host needs to be contacted to clarify roles and access rights
   

• Notes sections can also retain important information regarding allergies and medical data, if consented to by the visitor and in-keeping with your data protection policy
   

• Inductions are a key element to ensure site and individual safety. Expiry dates are recorded and you can set a flag on forthcoming dates to highlight when an individual needs an induction refresh
   

• Company Insurance expiry flags can also be used to highlight when a contractor might be close to an insurance expiry and therefore when it might not be safe for them to be working

​

• Notes – add personal notes to a visitor or contractor record or visit to remind hosts about information which can make a visit memorable – for example a favourite drink, or if they have travelled far to get there. You can also use it to record things like food allergies, as per your company data protection policy
   

• Confirmation email – visitors and contractors can receive a tailored email after a booking is made, confirming the meeting time, host and location, with additional information as you see fit, like parking availability, a map or nearest shops etc.
   

• Induction ready and Induction tests – visitor and contractor inductions can be a fundamental part of your on-boarding process. Companies use inductions to educate and provide evidence that contractors and visitors have seen, understood and passed an online test about your premises, including safeguarding policies, health and safety etc. You can even amend the induction page by page without reloading the whole thing!
   

• Personal Protection Equipment – some of our clients provide size specific protective clothing to visitors. Semieta Cloud allows you to create these data fields to your exacting needs, and then allows you to display this data easily so clothing bundles of the right size and nature can be prepared the evening before arrival – professional, efficient and above all, safe.

​

• Confirmation email – does what it says on the tin and automatically emails visitors and contractors (and hosts depending on configuration) with the details of their up-coming visit including how to get there, maps and other useful information - all defined by you!

​

​

• Self-registration acts like a virtual receptionist that can book and log in visitors. It utilises a tablet screen to replicate the registration and log-in process remotely, saving your reception team time during busy periods or enabling you to register and sign in visitors in an unmanned reception area
   

• You can do everything the core system does to book and log in a visitor or contractor, including print badges remotely, tweak screens, add branding and tailor the data fields you want to display and collect, take photos, show documents and ask for agreement checks, and even play video. It can automatically notify hosts, and all records are stored in the central database

​

• Pre-registration enables you to send a booking link to new visitors and contractors, for them to remotely enter all the relevant details about themselves and their company BEFORE arrival on site – so it’s ideal for clients who manage large numbers of temporary staff or contractors each week
   

• You can do everything the core system does to book in a visitor, including tweak screens, add branding and tailor the data fields you want to display and collect, take photos, upload documents, send induction packs and tests, ask for agreement checks, and even play video. It can automatically notify hosts once a pre-registration ‘booking’ has been completed and all records are stored in the central database

​

• The record appears in purple on the Dashboard Daily View to flag that the record needs verifying

​

• Pre-registration can take the pain out of managing contractor information and greatly improves information flow, storage and reception management by getting the detailed information completed before visitors and contractors even attend on site

​

• As a Data Processor we have been working hard to ensure our clients – the Data Controllers – can do what they need to do to comply with GDPR or Health and Safety, and manage their Data Protection policy effectively:

  • Flexibility via Badge Editor to add Data Protection statements onto badges

  • Tailorable fields and features in Self-Registration to allow for a data protection policy to be communicated via text or video or both, and for visitor ‘agreement’ check boxes to record visitor’s understanding and agreement

  • Tailorable data fields so data controllers collect ONLY the data they need and which complies with their policy

  • Auto record deletion of files for a period specified by Admin users

  • Clear record deletion process and timescales

  • Induction presentations which are editable by the user

You can see our own Privacy Policy HERE.

​

• Editor tools give you complete control over the data you want to collect, with edit functions across data forms for Visitors, Staff, Contractors and Companies
   

• You can create new data fields and delete old ones, reorder them and make them mandatory – which means our system is configurable to any business or organisation
   

• Through Badge editor you can brand and present visitor data as you see fit, managing fonts, colours, type of data and positions of data fields, photo etc
   

• The system can be branded using your logo and brand colours
   

• Reports can be created and saved for future use, so you don’t have to recreate them every day or week
   

• Once you have set up your own unique User Roles, you can replicate these for new team members or amend them to reflect new requirements
   

• Dashboard View can be set up to present visitor data how you want to see it, with data columns that can be hidden, reordered and sorted
   

• You can configure and set up a different Location and Receptions according to how your organisation runs and the sites it has. If you require three separate receptions you can set this up and report on them separately
   

• Reword and tailor configurable Confirmation emails and other automated messages.

​

• Document upload enables the client, visitors, or contractors to upload documents pertinent to the visitor process that has been defined – for example, contractors can upload PDFs of company insurance, permits to work, or competency proofs. Others may be asked to upload DBS certificates – the choice is up to you and in accordance with your own Data Protection Policy.

​

• Documents can be uploaded as PDFs and saved into the Cloud where they can be retrieved when required.

​

• All data is operated and hosted from Microsoft Azure servers located in the UK, and is ISO-compliant site security, with dual server centers and a 30-day backup provision.

• Real-time back of data.
