The problem is real
Paper sign-in sheets put visitor privacy, building safety and your first impression at risk.
Zero privacy
Paper logs expose every visitor's name to the next person who signs in.
Hosts left waiting
Visitors sit unattended because no one knows they have arrived.
No emergency plan
In a fire, can you name every person in your building right now?
Enterprise price tag
Envoy's Premium visitor plan is $362 per location per month, billed annually (envoy.com/pricing, checked Oct 19, 2026).
Unprofessional look
A clipboard at the front desk tells clients you're behind the times.
How it works
Three steps and no special hardware: any tablet or computer will do.
Set up your kiosk
Create your account, customize your welcome screen, and open the kiosk on any tablet or computer.
Visitors check in
Visitors enter their name, select a host, and sign any required agreements — all digitally.
Hosts get notified
Hosts receive instant email or SMS notifications when their visitor arrives. No more lobby waiting.
