Visitor Management & Staff Attendance Tracker

A ‘gated’ community is defined by its gate (s).  Needless to say Management Committees of Associations take the security of their757777_st_james_park_london_1 gates very seriously.

There are multiple registers maintained – for Domestic Staff, for Door Delivery Vendors, and for all other Visitors. Entry and Exits are listed in this Register, the visitor is verified by making an Intercom call with the Resident, and in some cases the visitor slip/badge is issued.

There are inherent difficulties in the entering, storing and mining of this information, which turn more troublesome in proportion to the size of the complex. All our large customers have frequently expressed their need for a ‘Visitor Management’ system integrated with their Adda.

Now it is available!

The Visitor Management System tracks the Entry and Exit of Visitors & Staff.

Functionality

Entering the Staff Data is a 2-click process. The Staff badge Number has to be selected from the dropdown (integrated with Staff Manager), and the staff’s information gets automatically populated, along with the photo.  The Security personnel then just clicks on ‘Check In’. This automatically becomes the Attendance tracker.

For the Visitor all data is entered, reason for visit can be chosen from pre-configured set. Unlimited number of visit reasons can be configured, e.g.,  Personal Visit, Door Delivery, Association Supplies etc.

For Exit of the Staff, a similar pre-configured Reasons list can be utilized. E.g., Shift Ended, Refreshment Break, Lunch Break, etc.

Ease-of-Use

The complete application has been kept extremely simple on the premise that security personnel will be the regular users. The reports generated from the Application are rich and flexible.

Integration Points

This application is integrated with the Residents’ database and the Staff database.  It has open scope for integration with various identity recognition hardware, that may come in near future!

Get Started!

We are sure our large customers would love this Application. Please get in touch with support@apartmentadda.com to activate this Add-On for your Adda.

Our Tech Team says thanks to L&T Serene County and Purva Riviera for arming us with well-written requirement specifications towards this application.

Forum SubGroups

Dear ApartmentAdda Users,

The wait is finally over! ApartmentAdda is excited to announce the release of a much requested feature – “SubGroups”. Now you can create a special interest SubGroup, invite members, and discuss among yourselves without flooding the inbox of your entire community.

Screenshot of SubGroups

1. Each SubGroup gets an email address

You are already used to the unique Adda style forum. Now we have extended it to the SubGroups also. Each SubGroup gets a full-fledged forum. The threads are trimmed from growing very long ( only the top 3 posts and the first post are shown in the email ), posts are numbered, they are color coded and support attachments.

Some examples of SubGroup Email Addresses ( for Sharlow Apartments ) :

Chess-Sharlow-forum@apartmentadda.com
Gardening-Sharlow-forum@apartmentadda.com
Cycling-Sharlow-forum@apartmentadda.com

2. Restricted SubGroups

You can mark a SubGroup as restricted – the discussions are not visible to others, and to join a SubGroup, the request has to be approved by the SubGroup’s moderator.

Also, the Sub-Committees can now create a SubGroup for themselves like :

Culturals-Sharlow-forum@apartmentadda.com
Conserve-Sharlow-forum@apartmentadda.com

Note : The Association Committee already has a dedicated forum for themselves ( Sharlow-adminforum@apartmentadda.com ).

3. New Realtime Notification Setting for SubGroups

Along with Real-time Notification Settings for Forum and Real-time Notification for documents,notices and polls – now you have the option of turning on or off the SubGroup messages.

Go Ahead. Start the Movie lovers group you always wanted to create.

Yours sincerely,
ApartmentAdda Team
