Visitor Management System for Paxton Net2 - The Complete Integration

If your site already runs Paxton Net2, you're halfway to a fully integrated security and sign-in setup. DigiGreet is the visitor management system built specifically to work with Paxton — connecting sign-in, door access, contractor management and fire evacuation into one seamless system.

No parallel processes. No separate databases. One sign-in that does everything.

Already have Paxton? Here's what you're missing without DigiGreet

Paxton Net2 is one of the best door access control systems in the UK. But it only controls who can open doors — it doesn't manage who is on site, who has been inducted, or who needs to evacuate in a fire. That's where DigiGreet comes in.

Without DigiGreet	With DigiGreet + Paxton
Paxton controls doors but you can't see who's on site	Live on-site list synced with Paxton at all times
Visitors sign in separately from door access — two disconnected systems	One sign-in triggers Paxton door access automatically
No record of which areas a visitor accessed	Zone-level access log — exactly where each visitor went
Fire evacuation relies on Paxton fob data only — often incomplete	Full evacuation list including visitors who haven't touched a door
Contractors can bypass the induction process	Contractors must complete induction before Paxton grants door access
No GDPR control over visitor data	Automatic retention and deletion — fully UK GDPR compliant

How DigiGreet + Paxton Net2 works

The integration is straightforward. Once DigiGreet is connected to your Paxton Net2 system, the two platforms share data in real time.

When a visitor arrives

• They sign in on a DigiGreet tablet or via QR code on their phone
• DigiGreet captures their name, company, host and any required information (inductions, H&S questions, RAMS)
• Paxton is automatically notified and grants the visitor access to permitted doors — no manual fob issue required
• The visitor badge is printed instantly with name, access level and expiry time

While they're on site

• DigiGreet maintains a live list of everyone currently on site — visitors, contractors and staff
• Paxton door events update the on-site list in real time
• Zone access is controlled: visitors can only open the doors their access level permits

When they leave

• The visitor signs out on DigiGreet — their Paxton access is automatically revoked
• If they forget to sign out, DigiGreet auto-signs them out at end of day and removes Paxton access
• A complete time-stamped record of their visit is stored for any audit or subject access request

In a fire evacuation

• Any staff member pulls up the live evacuation list on a smartphone or tablet
• The list includes everyone who signed in through DigiGreet — including visitors who never touched a Paxton reader
• Staff mark people as accounted for in real time

Why DigiGreet is the best VMS for Paxton Net2

There are several visitor management systems that claim to integrate with Paxton. DigiGreet's integration goes further:

• DigiConnect — our dedicated Paxton integration — is one of the deepest VMS integrations available in the UK
• Supports both Net2 Lite and Net2 Pro — no need to upgrade your Paxton licence
• Zone-level access control: visitors can be granted or restricted from specific doors, not just the main entrance
• Tailgating detection: DigiGreet flags when someone enters through a Paxton door without signing in
• No new hardware required — runs on any browser-based device you already have

Works for every type of site

Schools

Schools using Paxton Net2 can use DigiGreet to manage visitor safeguarding, Ofsted compliance and late student sign-in — all integrated with their existing door access system. Visitors can only access areas their host has pre-approved, and the system generates a safeguarding-ready audit trail.

Businesses and offices

For offices, the DigiGreet + Paxton integration means one badge does everything — sign-in, door access, visitor tracking and evacuation. Pre-registered visitors can have their access ready before they arrive.

Manufacturing and industrial sites

Manufacturing sites can use the integration to enforce contractor inductions before Paxton grants site access. Contractors must complete the health and safety briefing and have documents verified — only then does their Paxton fob activate.

GDPR compliant — all data stored in the UK

DigiGreet stores all visitor data on UK-based servers. Data retention periods are applied automatically — old records are deleted without you having to do anything. Visitors receive a privacy notice at sign-in, and you can respond to subject access requests in seconds.

Simple setup — no IT department required

DigiGreet connects to your existing Paxton Net2 system without any hardware changes. Our UK-based team handles setup and most sites are live within one working day. No per-user charges and no ongoing licence costs beyond the DigiGreet subscription.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need to replace my Paxton system to use DigiGreet?

No. DigiGreet connects to your existing Paxton Net2 system. We don't install or replace Paxton hardware — we use what you already have.

Does it work with Net2 Lite as well as Net2 Pro?

Yes. DigiGreet's Paxton integration works with both Net2 Lite and Net2 Pro. You do not need to upgrade your Paxton licence.

What happens if a visitor forgets to sign out?

DigiGreet automatically signs visitors out at the end of the day and removes their Paxton access. You can configure the auto-signout time to suit your site.

Can contractors be required to complete an induction before getting Paxton access?

Yes. A contractor's Paxton fob is only activated once they have completed the required induction and had their documents verified. This is particularly useful for manufacturing and construction sites.

Is DigiGreet GDPR compliant?

DigiGreet is built to help organisations meet their UK GDPR obligations. All data is stored on UK servers, retention periods are enforced automatically, and visitors receive a privacy notice at sign-in.
