Visitor and Contractor Registration.

Do you know which visitors and contractors are on site right now? Imperago Visitor and Contractor Registration signs them in and out, tells the host they have arrived, keeps contractor certification in date and puts everyone on site on the same roll call as your employees.

An add-on to Imperago Time & Attendance and Access Control that can also run on its own.
Why register visitors in Imperago

One record of everyone on site, not just your employees

A paper signing-in book tells you who turned up. It does not tell the host, it does not check a contractor's certificate is still valid, and it is the last thing anyone picks up when the alarm goes. Visitor and Contractor Registration puts visitors in the same system as your clockings and access control, so the record is immediate, searchable and on the roll call.

Immediate attendance recordVisitor or contractor, host, company, car registration and contact email recorded at sign-in.
Host told automaticallyThe employee being visited is alerted the moment their visitor arrives.
Certification in dateStore contractors' certificates and be alerted before they lapse.
Evidence for GDPR and H&SVisibility of who was on site and when, held in one place and reportable.

How it works

From pre-booking to sign-out

The screens below are illustrations of the flow rather than product screenshots. Book a demo to see the live system.

Pre-bookThe host or reception adds the expected visitor or contractor: name, company, who they are seeing and when.
Arrive and sign inThe visitor confirms their details at reception, watches the safety film if you have embedded one, and is signed in.
Host alertedThe employee being visited is told automatically that their visitor is here.
Sign outDeparture is recorded, and the visit sits in the history with everything else that happened on site that day.

Know who is on site, right now

Every sign-in creates an immediate attendance record: the visitor or contractor, the host they are seeing, their company, car registration and contact email. Reception, facilities and the safety team see the same list, and it is the same list the roll call uses.

  • Visitor or contractor
  • Host
  • Company
  • Car registration
  • Contact email

Keep contractors' certification in date

Store each contractor's certificates against their record and manage them in one place. Imperago alerts you when a certificate is approaching expiry, so the question of whether a contractor is still covered is answered before they are on site, not after.

Returning contractors use express registration, so the check is quick for the people you see every week.

Tell the host, and show the safety film

When a visitor signs in, the employee they are visiting is alerted automatically, so nobody is left waiting at reception while someone goes to find them. If your site has a safety induction, embed the film in the sign-in so every visitor and contractor has seen it before they go through the door.

  • Automatic host alert
  • Site or company safety film
  • Per-site set-up

Visitors on the roll call

A visitor sign-in creates a roll call record, so signed-in visitors and contractors appear on the Fire Roll Call with your employees. By design it does not create a timesheet record: visitors are not paid, so they stay out of timesheets, but the records are kept in the clocking history and you can build a view from there to report on them.

  • Roll call record at sign-in and sign-out, so the evacuation list is complete.
  • No timesheet record, so visitors never appear as worked time.
  • Kept in clocking history for GDPR visibility and reporting.
  • Works with a Cloud Fire Alarm Relay Terminal to run the roll call automatically. See the Fire Roll Call showcase.
Frequently asked questions

The questions we get asked first

Do I need Time & Attendance or Access Control to use it?

No. Visitor and Contractor Registration is an add-on to Imperago Time & Attendance and Access Control, and it gets the most value alongside them because visitors join the same roll call and the same site record. It can also be used on its own.

Why don't visitor sign-ins appear in the timesheet view?

By design. A visitor sign-in or sign-out creates a roll call record, not a timesheet record. The records do exist in the clocking history, and you can generate a view from there if you need to report on visitors. See the FAQs for more.

Can we run it across more than one site?

Yes. You can set up and manage multiple sites, each with its own registration and, if you want, its own safety film.

Is it a cloud system, and is the data hosted in the UK?

Yes to both. Imperago is a 100% cloud system hosted in the UK. See ISO 27001 & data security for how we look after your data, and How long we keep your data for retention.

Is HFX on G-Cloud?

Yes. Visitor & Contractor Registration by Imperago is listed on the Digital Marketplace, and HFX has been on G-Cloud for many years because it is often a requirement for our public sector customers.
