Visitor Management vs Access Control: Use Both on Purpose
Guidance only. Verify any statutory or insurer requirement against current official South African sources. CapeCore does not publish unverified legal claims.
Different jobs
Access control says whether a stored user may open a door. Visitor management records who is on site today. A paper book in reception does neither job well if the inner door is on a maglock with no guest credential.
Day passes
A printed card, a QR code or a mobile pass that expires at 17:00 is the usual bridge. Hosts should be able to issue it quickly. If it takes a phone call to the installer, people will hold the door.
Contractors
Cleaners and maintenance staff are not visitors and not employees. Give them a group with hours, then disable it when the contract ends.
Keep it simple enough to run
CapeCore specifies visitor handling that reception can actually operate. Fancy kiosks that sit unused are worse than a labelled guest card drawer.
