Disaster Relief
- Volunteer Credentialing
One of the biggest concerns for EHR teams is the very difficult task of credentialing volunteers at a shelter. This normally involves using a large portion of the volunteer staff to handle the credentialing process. Using LobbyGuard, the volunteers are free to do more work for disaster victims while volunteers can sign in and out of the facility with the LobbyGuard touchscreen kiosk. All volunteers can sign in and indicate name, where they will be working in the shelter and other information. LobbyGuard will print a badge for each volunteer that will include all this information as well as a photograph of the volunteer. - Disaster Victim Sign-In/Sign-Out
Another major problem area is the signing in and out of the shelter by the disaster victims. Paper logbooks are often impossible to search and dont provide much in the way of shelter security. LobbyGuard provides an easy, fast and safe way for victims to sign in and out of the shelter, including capturing photograph, name, location, and driver license scan. LobbyGuard can print out visitor badges as needed and perform instant background checks against our sex offender database. In addition, LobbyGuards records are electronic and can be instantly searched if needed, providing relief for separated families who are looking for loved ones, to assist in locating missing persons, etc. - Employee Sign-In and Pre-Registration
Employees who will be staffing the shelter can be pre-registered, meaning they can have their names and roles pre-loaded into LobbyGuard and thus making their sign-in process much faster, freeing the kiosk for use by others.
Correctional Facilities
Security
Keeping track of visitors who enter / leave the facility.- Work Release Programs
Inmates are released to outside job sites and need to be tracked when they enter / leave the facility. - Special Visitors
Prisons need to keep track of the number of times an attorney visits an inmate/client. This is especially true of court-appointed pro bono lawyers, whose time with their client can be calculated via LobbyGuard sign-in records. Other types of special visitors who need to be tracked include clergy and family members of the inmate.
Hotels, Resorts and Casinos
These organizations use LobbyGuard to track vendors as they enter and leave and make deliveries in the service entrance to the hotel. This is used in “loss prevention”, a practice that is important to the operations and cost savings of most every hotel / resort. Loss prevention offices focus on accounting for and preventing theft or loss by employees and vendors who enter / leave the service areas of the facility, where many goods (food, linens, etc) are stored. Requiring each person to sign in/out via Lobbyguard provides a much better record of who was in these sensitive areas, and can deter theft or provide a better way of tracking down the source of theft.
Civic Organizations
Civic organizations have the same concerns as K12 schools, esp. with regards to preventing sex offenders from entering the building. Currently in use in 2 BGCA locations in the US. Salvation army, YMCA and Ronald McDonald House
Assisted Living Facilities
LobbyGuard is in use as a more effective way of tracking visitors to these facilities vs. the traditional paper logbook.
Foreign Embassies & Consulates
General tracking of visitors coming and going. LobbyGuard is currently available in English and Spanish. There are more than 3,000 foreign consulates and embassies in the United States. Currently in use in the Mexican Consulate in San Francisco.
Private Estates
Private estates use LobbyGuard for tracking contractors who enter/leave via the service entrance, for the same reasons as Construction Sites (see below).
Construction Sites
LobbyGuard is utilized for time and attendance of workers at construction sites, esp. new school construction. A major issue with school construction is the lack of oversight regarding contractor time. Schools often have no way of confirming that a worker was actually on-site during the times for which they are being billed. LobbyGuard can assist by providing a complete photo record of the worker arriving and leaving the job site.
