Visitor Management Solutions: Who is responsible?

In organizations of all sizes, from small startups to sprawling corporations, there’s a common sight we often witness. No matter the scale or complexity, the responsibility for implementing visitor management solutions frequently falls upon one or two individuals. It’s a task that demands careful planning, technical know-how, and an eye for detail. However, more often than not, those tasked with this mission have limited experience in the field, making the process a challenging endeavor. In this blog, we’ll delve into the intricacies of visitor management and discuss who should bear the responsibility for this crucial aspect of modern business operations. We’ll also explore how MyLobby sets itself apart by offering comprehensive support throughout the implementation process and beyond, ensuring your organization’s success.

The Burden of Visitor Management

Visitor management is a multifaceted process that extends far beyond simply greeting guests at the front desk. It encompasses various aspects, including security, data management, and creating a positive first impression for visitors. Despite its significance, many organizations entrust this responsibility to just a few individuals, often from the IT department or office management.

One of the primary challenges these individuals face is the lack of dedicated expertise in visitor management systems. They’re expected to navigate complex software, hardware, and security protocols with limited prior experience. This not only places undue pressure on these individuals but also increases the risk of errors, security breaches, and inefficiencies.

Case Study: MyLobby's Visitor Management Solution to Streamline ITAR Compliance for an Ohio Manufacturer

One particular client in Ohio, a manufacturing facility, faced the challenge of automating and streamlining their compliance requirements, particularly those related to ITAR (International Traffic in Arms Regulations). ITAR compliance is a complex set of regulations governing the export and import of defense-related articles and services. Ensuring compliance with ITAR is critical, as violations can result in severe penalties.

However, the client’s IT team and facility personnel, though responsible for implementing the visitor management system, had limited experience with ITAR compliance. They recognized the importance of compliance but lacked the expertise to navigate its intricate requirements.

This is where MyLobby stepped in, leveraging its extensive experience in implementing visitor management systems for multiple ITAR facilities. MyLobby also brought in additional consultants with in-depth knowledge of ITAR compliance to ensure that the client’s facility met all the necessary steps and procedures.

The most significant achievement was the resolution of a major bottleneck in the client’s previous process. Visitors were required to fill out compliance documents upon arrival, and then they had to wait for an extended period while the compliance team reviewed and approved their submissions. This waiting period not only frustrated visitors but also created operational inefficiencies.

MyLobby’s solution was to introduce a streamlined pre-screening process. Much like the process of completing a pre-flight check-in at the airport before your flight, visitors were now able to submit compliance documents in advance. The compliance team could then thoroughly analyze the submissions, ensuring full compliance with ITAR regulations
