Visitor management
Available across the UK
Entris. Cloud visitor management, done properly.
A visitor management system for offices, schools and multi-site organisations. Visitors sign themselves in, the host is notified automatically, and you always have an accurate, live record of everyone on site.
- Cloud hosted
- No on-premise server to maintain
- Contactless sign-in
- Visitors check themselves in
- Live on-site record
- Know who is in the building
Capabilities
Everything receptionwas doing by hand.
01
Contactless check-in
Visitors sign themselves in from a tablet or their own phone via a QR code — no shared pen, no queue at reception.
02
Host notifications
The person being visited is told the moment their guest arrives, so nobody is left standing in a lobby wondering if anyone knows they're there.
03
Live on-site record
See who is in the building right now, and pull an accurate history of visits when you need it — including in an evacuation.
04
Multi-site management
Run several buildings from one place, with each site keeping its own settings, hosts and visitor types.
05
Documents and declarations
Present site rules, NDAs or health and safety declarations at sign-in, and keep a record of who agreed to what.
06
Cloud hosted
Hosted on UK cloud infrastructure. Nothing to install on a server, nothing to patch, accessible wherever you need it.
The basics
What is a visitor management system?
It's the software that replaces the paper signing-in book at reception — and does the things a book was never able to do.
When someone arrives at your building, a visitor management system records who they are, who they're there to see and when they arrived. It notifies the host, prints or displays a badge if you use one, and keeps a live list of everyone currently on site. When they leave, it records that too.
That last part is the one that matters most. A signing-in book tells you who arrived. It rarely tells you who is still in the building, because people don't reliably sign out — which means the one moment you genuinely need it, during an evacuation, is the moment it's least trustworthy.
There's a data protection angle too. An open book on a reception desk shows every previous visitor's name, company and host to whoever signs in next. A visitor management system doesn't.
Entris handles all of this and runs in the cloud, so there's no server to maintain and reception doesn't depend on one machine in one building. If you also need to control who can physically open which door, that's access control — a separate but complementary system we also install.
| Paper book | With Entris |
|---|---|
| Anyone can read the previous entries | Each visitor's details are private to them |
| Reception has to chase the host | The host is notified automatically on arrival |
| Nobody signs out, so the list is wrong | Sign-out is prompted, and the record stays accurate |
| In an evacuation, you carry the book outside | The live on-site list is on any device |
| Finding an old visit means flicking through pages | Visit history is searchable and exportable |

About
Built in Stoke-on-Trent, available across the UK.
Entris is our own product. The people who wrote it are the people who answer the phone — wherever your organisation is based.
Most visitor management systems are sold through a reseller, which means the people you speak to didn't build the thing they're selling you. Entris is different: we develop it, support it, and act on the feedback we get.
Because Entris is fully cloud-hosted, it works for organisations anywhere in the UK — single-site offices, schools, and multi-site businesses. There's nothing to install on premise and onboarding is remote.
If you also need to control who can physically open which door, we install Paxton access control in the Stoke-on-Trent and Staffordshire area.
Questions
Common questions.
What people usually want to know before booking a demo.
What is a visitor management system?
It's software that replaces the paper signing-in book. Visitors record their own arrival, the person they're visiting is notified automatically, and the system keeps a live, accurate list of who is currently in the building — including when they sign out again.
Who is Entris for?
Any organisation where people who aren't staff come through the door: offices, schools, commercial premises and multi-site organisations. If reception currently runs on a book and a phone call, Entris replaces both.
Do we need to install anything?
No. Entris is cloud hosted, so there's no server to set up or maintain. You need a device at reception for visitors to sign in on, and a browser for anyone administering it.
What happens during a fire alarm?
The live on-site list is available on any device with a browser, so whoever is running the roll call can see exactly who signed in and hasn't yet signed out — rather than relying on someone remembering to carry the book outside.
Does Entris work with access control?
They're separate systems that complement each other: access control decides who can physically open a door, visitor management records who is on site and tells their host. Syntari installs Paxton access control as well, so we can advise on running both together.
How much does Entris cost?
Pricing depends on the number of sites and how you intend to use it, so we quote per organisation rather than publishing a plan that would be wrong for most people. Send us the basics and we'll come back with a figure.

There's no one-size plan. Send us the basics and we'll come back with pricing that reflects your size, sector and setup.
Priced around your site
What it costs depends on how many sites and how you use it. We'd rather ask than publish a number that turns out to be wrong for you.
We'll set it up with you
Getting Entris running is part of the conversation, not a separate project you're left to run on your own.
