The complete guide to calculating the ROI of a Visitor Management System

The evolution from simple visitor management point solutions to broader workforce security platforms is happening, as businesses address increasingly complex security problems that touch on broader stakeholder groups. Single Visitor Management Systems (VMS) can solve entry problems; however, enterprise organizations require a more robust system in place to handle health, safety, and security issues for employees, contractors, and visitors.
