FAQ
Does this work for buildings that require Emirates ID verification?
Yes. The system captures Emirates ID details during pre-registration and stores them securely. Physical ID confirmation by a security officer remains a manual step to satisfy UAE building access requirements.
Can visitors check in without downloading an app?
Absolutely. The check-in flow runs entirely via WhatsApp or a browser-based QR code — no app download required for visitors.
How are visitor records stored for compliance purposes?
All visit logs are written in real time to Google Sheets or Notion, including visitor name, ID reference, host, check-in and check-out times. Data can be retained according to your company's policy.
Can the system handle multiple office locations?
Yes. Each location can have its own QR code and notification channel, with all data consolidated into a single master log for facilities management.
