Reception & Front Desk

Visitor Check-In Terminals

Retire the clipboard at every front desk. One check-in application greets visitors, members, guests, and contractors — confirming details, capturing signatures and badge photos, and notifying the host in seconds.

One check-in layer for every front desk

Reception is where first impressions and paperwork collide. The clipboard gets lost, the iPad-on-a-stand belongs to a per-device subscription vendor, and every venue type — office, clinic, salon, gym, co-working space — somehow ends up with its own disconnected check-in stack.

TelemetryOS runs check-in as an application on a countertop touchscreen at the desk. The terminal identifies the visitor, confirms and updates contact details, presents the consent form or NDA for signature, captures a badge photo through the front camera, and notifies the host the moment check-in completes. Because TelemetryOS enables applications to connect to REST APIs, the arrival ping lands in Slack, Teams, Google Workspace, Microsoft 365, or Calendly — whatever the front office already lives in — and barcode and QR decoding turn an emailed confirmation into a ten-second check-in.

The camera, the scanner, and the signature pad are not peripherals with proprietary SDKs. They are standard browser capabilities of the platform, which is why a check-in flow that would take a vendor integration elsewhere is a few lines of application code here.

Built for operators with more than one front desk

The check-in market is sliced into verticals — visitor management for offices, intake for healthcare, bookings for fitness and salons. A multi-brand operator running a dental group and a medspa, or hotels alongside restaurants and gyms, ends up operating four vendor stacks that do the same job with different logins.

On TelemetryOS, check-in is one application on one managed fleet, whether the person arriving is a patient, a guest, a member, or a contractor. Per-location branding and workflow live in instance-scope settings; the application itself deploys everywhere from one codebase. Reception staff get a browser-accessible companion view for walk-ins and overrides, and device management gives IT health, versions, and proof the lobby screen is alive at every property.

The same fleet runs the rest of the building, too — the lobby wayfinding directory, the room schedule displays upstairs, the signage behind the desk. Node Mini drives a countertop check-in touchscreen; Node Pro covers larger interactive lobby installations. One console, one SDK, and a front desk that finally stopped photocopying forms.
