By digitizing the check-in process, schools can verify visitor identities using government-issued IDs, automatically sign people in and out, and manage access permissions. Each visitor receives a badge indicating their name, host, and designated access areas. For schools with multiple zones, DigiGreet tracks exactly which areas a visitor or staff member is in, providing real-time visibility across classrooms, laboratories, gyms, and administrative offices. This zone management ensures that everyone is safe and accounted for, especially during emergencies.
Streamlined Check-In Process
DigiGreet simplifies the check-in process for visitors, parents, contractors, and staff. Visitors can pre-register for appointments, reducing queues and wait times upon arrival. Self-service kiosks allow quick sign-in, and the system’s intuitive interface guides visitors through the process efficiently. Parents and visitors can also be presented with important school notices or safety information on the welcome page, ensuring that essential messages are communicated instantly. Schools can use this feature to display things like school policies, upcoming events, or health and safety reminders.
Asset Management Integration
Beyond visitor management, DigiGreet includes powerful asset management features. Schools can track all valuable items, from laptops and projectors to lab equipment and keys, using unique barcodes or QR codes. Staff can scan an asset when borrowing and return it seamlessly, logging the transaction in the system. DigiGreet also allows monitoring of specialized items such as fire extinguishers for pressure checks or freezers for temperature logging. This capability ensures that both personnel and resources are accounted for efficiently, eliminating manual tracking errors and saving administrative time. For example, science labs can ensure microscopes, lab kits, and safety equipment are always traceable and maintained correctly, reducing the risk of missing or damaged items.
Human-Assisted and E-Reception Features
Some areas of a school, such as the main office or A&E-style urgent care zones, require human-assisted reception. DigiGreet complements staff by providing an e-reception feature for unmanned locations. Visitors can call their host directly using the system’s “Call Me” button, and backup numbers ensure hosts can be reached even if they are away from their desk. This guarantees that every visitor feels welcomed and supported, while staff time is optimized. For instance, a contractor arriving to repair school equipment can instantly reach the relevant maintenance staff, avoiding delays.
Automatic Sign-Out for Safety
Ensuring that visitors and staff are accounted for at all times is crucial. DigiGreet’s automatic sign-out feature alerts administrators if someone remains on-site beyond their expected duration. Schools can set triggers based on time of arrival or specific shifts, and notifications are sent to the responsible personnel. This feature prevents potential safety risks and ensures that all individuals are properly accounted for at the end of the school day or after special events. For schools running after-hours clubs or sports activities, automatic sign-out prevents the risk of students or visitors being left unsupervised.
Fire Drills and Emergency Evacuations
DigiGreet makes emergency preparedness straightforward. Schools can carry out fire drills and evacuations with any number of marshals using a web browser—no app installation required. Staff can access the fire drill page from any device, see all people on-site including those needing assistance, and track visitors, staff, and students across multiple buildings or zones. The system records evacuation times and logs the drill for review, helping schools improve safety procedures over time. For example, administrators can immediately identify if a visitor or contractor needs assistance to exit safely, minimizing potential risks during an emergency.
Visitor Feedback
DigiGreet helps schools gather valuable insights through its visitor feedback feature. Visitors can rate their experience and leave optional comments directly in the system. Schools can customize the rating scale, from simple good/bad feedback to more detailed 1-10 scales, and even include fun or branded images to reflect the school’s personality. Feedback from parents and contractors can highlight areas for improvement or provide praise for excellent staff performance, giving school administrators actionable insights to enhance operations and engagement.
Fully Customizable Interface
DigiGreet’s flexibility extends to its interface. Schools can change displayed text, add custom fields for visitor registration, or create tailored buttons for visitor categories such as parents, contractors, or volunteers. Staff portals allow teachers and administrators to manage specific tasks independently, including editing personal information, sending messages to visitors, and booking meeting rooms. This level of customization ensures that every school can configure the system to fit its unique requirements. For example, a music school could add fields to log instrument rentals or workshop permissions for visitors.
Cost-Effective Solution for All Schools
DigiGreet is an affordable solution designed to make student safety accessible to all schools—not just private institutions. By automating check-ins, tracking assets, and managing emergency procedures, schools can maximize resources without incurring significant costs. This allows staff to focus on teaching and student support while ensuring that security and compliance remain top priorities. Parents, contractors, and visitors are seamlessly informed of key notices and guidance during check-in, further enhancing school communication.
Positive Environmental Impact
By eliminating paper-based logs and forms, DigiGreet also helps schools reduce waste and promote sustainability. Digital check-ins, notifications, and alerts reduce the need for printed materials while maintaining accurate records of all activity on school grounds. For environmentally conscious institutions, this reduction in paper consumption supports broader sustainability initiatives.
Scalability for Growing Institutions
DigiGreet scales to meet the needs of schools of all sizes. Whether a small primary school, a multi-campus district, or a large private institution, DigiGreet handles increased visitor volumes, additional zones, and new features without performance issues. Schools can expand or customize the system as their operational requirements evolve. In multi-campus schools, DigiGreet ensures all buildings are integrated within one seamless system, providing administrators with total oversight.
Real-Life School Applications
Primary Schools: Parents can sign in their children or visitors can be logged quickly. Notices about health and safety, upcoming parent-teacher events, or vaccination reminders can appear at check-in.
Secondary Schools: Contracted teachers, maintenance staff, and guest speakers can be tracked precisely across multiple zones, ensuring student safety at all times.
Specialist Institutions: Music, art, or sports schools benefit from asset tracking, logging valuable instruments or equipment as they are borrowed and returned.
These practical applications show how DigiGreet integrates seamlessly into daily operations, boosting both safety and efficiency.

Real-Time Notifications and Host Communication
DigiGreet enhances communication between visitors and staff with its intuitive notification system. When a parent, contractor, or guest signs in, the relevant host is instantly notified via email, SMS, or app alerts depending on the school’s configuration. This ensures that no visitor waits unnecessarily, creating a welcoming environment while maintaining strict security protocols. For example, a parent arriving for a scheduled meeting with a teacher will automatically trigger a notification to the teacher, allowing them to prepare for the meeting without delays.
For unmanned receptions or less busy administrative offices, DigiGreet’s e-reception feature includes a “Call Me” button on the welcome screen. Visitors can instantly contact their host, and backup numbers ensure communication continuity even if the primary contact is away. This seamless interaction reduces frustration, enhances visitor experience, and reinforces the school’s professional image.
Monitoring and Supporting Student Safety
Schools can leverage DigiGreet not only for visitor management but also to track student movement during special activities, field trips, or off-site events. By pre-registering students or staff participating in trips, DigiGreet allows administrators to see at a glance who is present, ensuring accountability and safety. In case of emergency, this real-time visibility is invaluable for swift, informed decision-making.
For everyday school operations, DigiGreet also manages late arrivals and early leavers. Students can be logged with reasons for tardiness or early departure, while staff have instant access to this information during roll calls, assemblies, or fire drills. This reduces errors associated with manual registers and ensures every child’s whereabouts are known at all times.
Visitor Education and Information
Another unique benefit of DigiGreet is its ability to display relevant notices and useful information to visitors during check-in. Schools can highlight policies, upcoming events, health and safety information, or reminders about school procedures. For instance, visitors can see vaccination guidance, instructions for lunch pickup, or notices about school closures directly on the kiosk screen. This not only improves communication but also ensures compliance with school protocols and safety standards.
Simplifying Compliance and Safeguarding
DigiGreet supports schools in meeting upto date governmental safeguarding and regulatory requirements. By keeping digital logs of all visitor interactions, student exceptions, and staff activities, schools can easily demonstrate compliance during inspections or audits. Administrators can confidently show that safety measures are consistently applied, whether it’s managing visitors in restricted areas, ensuring fire drill readiness, or maintaining accurate student attendance records.
Supporting Staff and Administrative Teams
Implementing DigiGreet reduces administrative workload for reception staff, teachers, and support personnel. With automated check-ins, instant notifications, and self-service kiosks, staff can focus on student engagement and educational priorities instead of repetitive manual processes. Staff portals allow authorized personnel to update their own details, send messages to visitors, or manage room bookings, creating an efficient workflow while empowering staff to take control of their responsibilities.
Scalable and Flexible for All School Types
DigiGreet is adaptable for any educational environment, from small primary schools to large multi-campus districts and private institutions. The system scales easily as visitor volume increases, new zones are added, or additional features are required. Private schools, public institutions, specialist facilities, and after-school programs all benefit from DigiGreet’s flexible design, ensuring maximum safety, efficiency, and convenience without compromise.
