CENTEGIX Introduces Enhanced Visitor Management System

In a groundbreaking move to bolster school safety, CENTEGIX, a front-runner in incident response and campus safety technology, has unveiled an entirely revamped Visitor Management Solution. This innovative system, which has been meticulously designed with a focus on security, efficiency, and user-friendliness, aims to redefine the way educational institutions manage campus access.

A Comprehensive Solution

The new CENTEGIX Visitor Management System is available either as a standalone solution or as an integrated part of the existing CENTEGIX Safety Platform™, which is used at no additional cost by all current customers. With over 13 years of experience and a track record of serving thousands of schools across the United States, CENTEGIX processes millions of visitor transactions each year related to volunteer check-ins, student attendance, and more.

Key Features for Visitors

1. Self Check-in via Smartphones: Visitors can now use their smartphones to check in with QR codes, significantly reducing wait times and eliminating long lines.
2. Digital Visitor Pass: Guests will receive a secure, easily scannable digital credential, simplifying campus navigation.
3. Check-In Flexibility: The system allows for kiosk deployments, enabling check-in at multiple locations on campus, such as the front office or athletic fields.

Streamlined Administrative Processes

For school administrators, the new system offers numerous efficiencies:

• - Reduced Workload: Self-serve check-in enables visitors to manage their ID scanning and badge printing autonomously, freeing up front office staff for other duties.
• - Configuration and Alerts: The platform provides real-time alerts about flagged visitors, allowing for immediate staff responses, while also integrating with the National Sex Offender Registry.
• - Customizable Workflows: An easy-to-use admin console allows for tailored check-in workflows, including customizable questionnaires and branding, as well as multi-tiered access management.
• - Live Dashboards: Administrators gain real-time insights into campus visitor volume and can track volunteer hours efficiently.
• - Automatic Record Keeping: Integration with Student Information Systems (SIS), such as PowerSchool and OneRoster, ensures accurate and timely record maintenance.

An example of its practical application comes from Melinda Bruna, a member of the Technology Department at Abilene Public Schools. She stated, “What I like most about the new system is the dashboard. I can see who has checked in for the entire district without having to switch sites.” This capability greatly speeds up the check-in process, especially during events like award ceremonies.

Innovation Track Record

In addition to the new features, CENTEGIX demonstrates a commitment to continuous improvement in visitor management, having been the first to unveil real-time visitor locating capabilities in 2024. This feature equips administrators with the tools to assign and monitor both volunteers and guests live on a facility map, enhancing safety and accountability.

Kristie Brooks, Superintendent of Chattahoochee County Schools in Georgia, highlighted the impact of this capability: “With 65% of our population being transient, CENTEGIX Enhanced Visitor Management gives us peace of mind. We can see when and where they check in and even track their movements.”

A Philosophy of Adaptation

Vince Zappa, Chief Product Officer of CENTEGIX, emphasized the company’s focus on customer feedback, noting, “We listened to our customers and built a system that is not just better but smarter, faster, and scalable.” This new Visitor Management Solution is poised to enhance security and operational efficiency across educational institutions.
