Run your front desk, without the actual desk
Digital receptionist software turns routine lobby tasks into automations. Guests check in on their own at a visitor management kiosk, hosts get notified, and your visitor log updates in the background.
Self-service check-ins
Visitors can check in via tablet, kiosk, QR code, or mobile app.
Custom check-in flows
Create steps for each visitor type (clients, contractors, interviewees, vendors).
Instant host notifications
Alerts sent as soon as the visitor checks in via Archie app, email, Slack, or Teams.
Access control integration
Archie can sync visits with door systems to grant access.

It allows guests to self-register using a tablet, kiosk, QR code, or their own mobile device, eliminating the need for a full-time receptionist.
