Scan
The guard scans the visitor’s ID, passport or licence — or a pre-registration QR code.
Visitor Management System
Fast entry at the gate. Full control of the site.
VisiGate is a modern visitor management system built for factories, warehouses and industrial sites. It replaces paper gate registers with scan-and-go check-in, live visibility of everyone on site, gate-pass control for people and materials, and an optional layer of AI that flags risk before it walks through the gate.
Delivered across a web console, a genuinely native Android guard app, and a documented API — multi-gate from day one, so a large site runs every entry point as one coordinated operation.
Platform at a glance
One system, three surfaces
VisiGate is delivered across three connected surfaces, and is multi-gate by design — a single site can run several gates at once while management sees the whole picture in one place.
-
Web console
The full management system for security, reception, safety and admin — in any browser, no install.
-
Native Android app
A real native app for the gate — on-device scanning, fast on modest hardware, with a biometric app-lock.
-
REST API
A documented API that powers the mobile app and is ready to connect to your other systems.
From ID to on site, in seconds
Scan, and go
Instead of typing a visitor's details by hand, the guard scans a document and lets VisiGate read it — the fastest gate experience there is, with far cleaner data.
- 1
- 2
Read
On-device OCR reads the details in seconds — no typing, and far fewer errors than by hand.
- 3
Screen
The visitor is checked against the site watchlist automatically, before they are admitted.
- 4
Capture
A live photo, the vehicle and its number plate, and a digital badge are captured at the gate.
- 5
On site
The visit is logged to that gate, the host is notified, and the visitor joins the live on-site list.
Everything at the gate
One system for the whole gate
Check-in, pre-registration, watchlist screening, material passes, roll call, incidents and reporting — the jobs a gate has to do, in one place, across every entry point on the site.

What it does
Control over every entry
Everything a busy industrial gate needs — visitors and materials, screening and safety, incidents and insight — built for how a real site actually runs.
Check-in & identity capture
Get a visitor through the gate in seconds, with an accurate record captured for you.
- OCR-first check-in from National ID, passport, driving licence or business card, with MRZ support
- Live visitor photo, and automatic vehicle number-plate capture tuned for local formats
- Every check-in tied to its gate and screened against the watchlist, with a logged supervisor override
Pre-registration & self-service
Prepare for expected visitors so arrival is instant, and let visitors start their own registration.
- Pre-register expected visitors with a QR-coded invitation the guard scans to admit
- A public, bilingual (English & Swahili) self-registration form
- Self-registrations land in a staff review queue — they never grant entry on their own
Watchlist & blacklist screening
Stop the wrong people at the gate, automatically.
- Every check-in screened against the site watchlist without the guard having to remember
- Maintain barred and flagged individuals with the right permission
- Admitting a flagged visitor requires explicit permission, and is logged
Material gate pass
Control what leaves and enters the site, not just who.
- Record goods and equipment moving through the gate, down to the individual item
- A full lifecycle — Pending → Approved → On site → Completed — with an approval step
- Exit matching against what came in, so nothing leaves unaccounted for
Multi-gate operations
Run a large site with several entry points as one coordinated operation.
- Operate as many gates as the site needs, each with its own live activity view
- Filter the whole site by gate, or see everything together, from one dashboard
- Every entry and exit records the gate it happened at, gate by gate
Emergency roll call
Know exactly who is on site the instant an alarm sounds.
- An instant, live list of everyone currently on site across every gate
- Designed to be pulled up in seconds during a drill or a real emergency
- On the guard’s phone or the web — wherever it is needed first
Incidents & safety compliance
Capture incidents from the gate, and induct people before they reach the floor.
- Log incidents with severity and a clear Open → Investigating → Resolved → Closed lifecycle
- Publish safety inductions and site-rule agreements visitors must complete
- Track who has been inducted and who has agreed, and export the records for compliance
Reports & analytics
Turn gate activity into insight.
- A reporting dashboard — visitor volumes, activity trends and gate-level breakdowns
- Plain-language narrative insights, and gate-load forecast panels
- Export reports and the visitor log to CSV
Built for the gate
Made for real industrial sites
Hard hats, several gates, contractors and deliveries all day, and a safety regime that has to hold. VisiGate is built for that world — fast on modest hardware and weak connections, and coordinated across every entry point from one place.
- Multi-gate
- People & materials
- Roll-call ready
AI that assists, never overrides
Flags the risk before it walks in
An optional layer of intelligence that makes the whole system smarter. Every AI feature is advisory — it informs and assists staff, and never blocks or admits a visitor on its own. The product works fully with AI switched off.

Gate 2
- Third visit today, across two different gates
- Arrived outside the expected time window
Advisory only — VisiGate never blocks entry. The guard decides.
- Advisory risk scoring on every check-in — Low / Review / High — that never blocks entry
- Anomaly detection: impossible travel, tailgating, credential sharing and dwell-time outliers
- A natural-language assistant, powered by Claude — ask "who’s still on site from Acme?", read-only and human-gated
- Automatic number-plate recognition, tuned for local formats
- Gate-load forecasting, so you can staff busy periods ahead of demand
- Bring-your-own-key — with no key, rule-based risk and the rest of the platform keep working
On the gate
A real app for the people on the gate
The guard's app is genuinely native — not a browser tab pretending to be one — so scanning is fast and reliable even on modest hardware and a weak connection.
- Truly native — installs like any Android app, not a web wrapper
- On-device OCR — document scanning runs locally, fast on modest hardware
- The full gate toolkit — check-in, visitor log, check-out, watchlist, roll call and notifications
- Biometric app-lock — fingerprint or face unlock, with no silent auto-login
- Secure token storage, and point it at your own VisiGate server
Security & data protection
Accountable by design
Fine-grained access, an attributable trail of every action, and AI that can only ever read — with your visitor data on your own server if you want it there.
- Session-based authentication with securely signed tokens
- Passwords hashed — never stored in plaintext
- Role-based access control across the whole product — group-based, gate-scoped and fine-grained
- A least-privilege interface — users only ever see what they are permitted to
- An attributable audit trail — entries, exits, overrides and approvals tied to the user and gate
- AI is read-only and human-gated — it can query, but never acts without explicit confirmation
- Self-hostable — runs on your own server, so your visitor data stays under your control
