Prior to SwipedOn we were using a paper-based process to induct and sign people in and out of our facility. We quickly realized this was a laborious and inefficient way to handle 300+ employees, contractors and visitors entering our facility daily. The excessive paper trail was proving time-consuming for auditing purposes and compromising visitor privacy.
We were looking for a modern and efficient way to accurately track visitors entering our site to help ensure compliance. Ease of use and implementation, along with great support was also a must.
SwipedOn has automated our entire visitor management process. The solution has significantly enhanced site security, improved data privacy and helped ensure we maintain regulatory compliance.

Yes, especially from a compliance perspective. GFSI (Global Food Safety Initiative) standards are constantly fluid. SwipedOn has helped ensure our operations meet industry regulatory and statutory requirements, encompassing HACCP (Hazard Analysis Critical Control Points), GMP (Good Manufacturing Practices), and the FSMA Food Safety Modernization Act etc.
SwipedOn allows us to maintain accurate digital visitor logs for record keeping and audits, print custom photo ID-badges for on site authorisation, and ensure visitors agree to our company’s Health & Safety policy on arrival. All of which help keep us in FSMA compliance. The system enables us to screen individuals with Q&A’s for health and safety guidelines, and deny any visitors that don’t meet particular health requirements.
Yes! With the added threat of an infected person entering our manufacturing facility and impacting production SwipedOn played a key role in our response plan. We took advantage of SwipedOns health questionnaire function which allows us to screen every visitor, vendor or contractor before they step onsite. For any answers of concern, I’m automatically alerted and can decline their entry. We have also made use of contactless sign in. Allowing visitors to sign in by QR code with their own devices.
They have helped minimize the risk of cross contamination and helped ensure our workforce and manufacturing facilities are protected. Contactless sign in has also sped up the entire sign in process. Visitors no longer need to wait in line to sign in on the iPad, which helps ensure social distancing protocols are met and prevent the spread of infection.
I knew of another business that used SwipedOn and they raved about it. As a result I was keen to roll out the software within our own company. SwipedOn’s price, feature set and on-hand technical support also made it an easy choice.
SwipedOn is the best visitor and employee management solution hands down. Many people have commented on it and love this application… so much so that they have since signed up.
