How a visit unfolds
A day in a business center, step by step
- 1
Arrival and lobby
Visitors step in from the street, find the lobby and look for the reception desk or the kiosks.
- 2
The reception queue
At busy hours a short line forms. Clear floor markings and a friendly greeting keep it moving.
- 3
Self check-in kiosks
A name or invitation code is entered on the touchscreen and the host is notified straight away.
- 4
Passes and access gates
A visitor pass opens the gate for the day so that guests and tenants can be told apart.
- 5
Lifts and wayfinding
Floor numbers, colours and arrows lead the visitor to the right meeting floor without help.
- 6
Departure and sign-out
On the way out the pass is returned or deactivated, closing the visit neatly.

On a mission to make busy lobbies easier to read
