Will I be able to perform analysis on who, when, and how frequently someone is coming into the office?

How will the custodians know which desks to clean?

HIVE administrators can print out the cleaning report for the custodians to let them know which desks or offices require deep cleaning. Alternatively, custodians could be granted access to the “To Do” function on the HIVE app, and only that function. Through this function, custodians can access the live office floor maps to find out which desks require cleaning, and mark them as sanitized after cleaning.

How do the custodians indicate the desk has been cleaned?

Does a visitor need to use the app to check in?

No, invited guests could be checked in by the receptionist or staff members via the app, with the appropriate health-screen questionnaire. Visitors could also scan the HIVE Gate™ check-in QR code at the entrance which will take the visitors through the questionnaire and check-in process, resulting in an on-app verification QR badge as proof.

Does the visitor need to complete an entry questionnaire?

The tool has no facial recognition capabilities and cannot differentiate between genders and body shapes from the obfuscated images.
