Paper register to digital visitor management: a simple guide

04 Nov 2026 · By Aptivo Team · 1 min read

A paper register tells you who came in. It does not tell you whether the resident actually expected them.

Problems with paper registers

Handwriting is hard to read, entries get skipped on busy days, and there is no quick way to search last month's visitors.

What digital visitor management changes

Residents pre-approve guests, deliveries and staff from their phones. Guards see a clear approve or deny status, and every entry is saved with the time and details.

Making the switch

Begin with one gate, train the guards, and ask residents to install the app before you switch the paper register off.
