In their own words
JYL Visitor
JYL Visitor digitises workplace visitor check-in. Visitors can register at reception and receive a printed pass, while the employee they are visiting gets an email notification when they arrive. Its log records names, companies, hosts, and visit dates and times. Registration can include an optional photo for personalised passes, and visitors can instead scan a QR code on a smartphone to check in and out without a reception PC or tablet. Staff can export visitor lists as CSV or PDF for compliance reporting and view history and statistics in a web browser. The software runs on Windows PCs and can serve multiple reception workstations on a local network; printing badges requires a standard printer. The product page says visitor data is encrypted, stored securely locally, and automatically deleted after the statutory period. There is no free plan, but a 15-day trial is offered without a credit card. Standard costs €9/month, Advance costs €90/year, and Full costs €590 as a one-time price.
