A digital Visitor Management System (VMS) replaces the paper visitor register at your gate with a phone-first workflow: the security guard logs the visitor, the resident gets an instant approval request, and an OTP gates entry.
Why apartments are upgrading from paper registers
- Tamper-proof audit log of every entry and exit
- Real-time approvals — no calls to residents
- Pre-approval for guests, deliveries, cabs and staff
- Better safety with photos and ID capture
- Compliance-friendly logs during audits and incidents
Must-have features in 2026
- OTP-based gate verification
- Pre-approval links via WhatsApp
- Delivery and cab quick-pass
- Frequent visitor and domestic staff passes
- Vehicle plate capture and parking allocation
- Emergency SOS broadcast to residents and guards
