Digital Signage For Education - Reception Areas

The reception area is often the first point of contact between your school community and infrequent visitors - making it an ideal place to make a great first impression.

There are an almost unlimited number of ways you can effectively use digital signage in your school or college reception area, and it's easy to get started - take a look further down the page for a few examples of how our current clients use digital signage in their reception areas.

Welcome Visitors

Welcome visitors with a general message, or even messages for specific individuals. You can easily schedule a special message for the time you know a visitor is due to arrive, or add a message in real time to let them know their visit is appeciated.

When integrated with our visitor management system, the screens can automatically welcome visitors as they sign in.

Visitor Management

With a touchscreen self-sign-in screen, visitors can register their own arrival, choose their host (who will be notified of their arrival) and receive appropriate on-screen messages depending on what sort of visitor they are (Parent, Contractor, Govenor etc.)

The system takes your sign-in process beyond a simple fire register, allowing pre-registration, label printing and management reporting from any internet connected device. Read more about Visitor Management

Showcase student work

What better place to display your students work and achievements than to new visitors and the parents of prospective students.
