Building Intelligence, global provider of cloud-based visitor, vehicle and vendor management software, SV3, has announced that they will be exhibiting at the 2019 Global Security Exchange, Sept. 8-12, at McCormick Place in Chicago. They will be showcasing a variety of new features designed to further streamline the visitor check-in process and enhance employee access management. SV3 cloud-based software SV3 now offers a completely new portal to provide access for new employees SV3 now enables employees to replace a lost or forgotten badge directly at a kiosk with the touch of a button, and automatically ensures the security of that credential by immediately deactivating any previously-issued badges. By integrating with clients’ LDAP/AD and access control, SV3 automatically verifies the individual and their access level and can print temporary or permanent badges on the spot.  In addition, SV3 now offers a completely new portal to provide access for new employees, alleviating redundant paperwork and the chasing of approvals. When hiring managers enroll new employees, SV3 sends their information to all necessary systems for approvals. The new employee will then receive a temporary badge in their email, enabling immediate access to the building upon arrival where SV3 will automatically create the access control record with the appropriate levels. Visitor management system The new updates also now allow users to schedule visitors through email calendar invites. No need to sign into SV3 Visitor.
