Wenatchee School District optimises safety and security for over 8,500 people.
With over 1,000 employees and upwards of 7,500 students, Wenatchee School District in the USA has a lot of people to keep track of. Needless to say, a paper visitor book just doesn’t cut it when it comes to safety and security for this volume of people. Since data privacy laws across the USA are becoming stricter, it’s more important than ever for any kind of business or facility to be compliant with these new laws. Unfortunately a paper visitor book is a soft spot for sensitive information that could get into the wrong hands, which is why a cloud based visitor management system ensures you’re data privacy compliant without any hassle.
Not only for safety and security, but also as an easy way to keep track of employees, students and visitors for quality control over buildings, a simple and easy to use sign in system was exactly the tool that Wenatchee School District had been searching for. They found that SwipedOn’s simple sign in/sign out system helped alleviate the challenges they faced as a school district dealing with a lot of people - from students to employees and visiting parents. In the case of an evacuation, the SwipedOn app can be shaken into evacuation mode, and quickly roll call.
Streamlining processes with a user friendly visitor management system
Prior to implementing a visitor management system, Wenatchee School District in Washington State needed a simple sign in / sign out system for monitoring quality control for their school district of over 7,500 students.
Their highest priority when looking for a visitor management system was safety, but they also needed to address simplicity - a system that would enable them to know the status of people coming in and out of the buildings and whether they are volunteers or visitors. As a district who work on engaging their community for student learning, we could offer them an effective and user friendly system to accomplish this.
The results are real
