When it comes to visitor management, there are two distinct paths you can take. You can choose the old school method which involves having guests sign in on a clipboard before they waltz right into your building, or you can opt for an electronic visitor management system that allows you to capture and store visitor information in a database, print temporary IDs on the spot, and log visitation details. AlphaCard offers complete systems and innovative software packages that make it easy for you to establish an effective visitor management program.

Alpha Track, for instance, is the premier software solution for visitor management, tracking, and access control. With Alpha Track, you can register visitors at the point of entry, verify their credentials, and store their information in a centralized database. The software provides tools for fast and accurate data entry, real-time database connectivity, and professional badge design. It's available in three different editions and also comes standard with our complete Visitor Management System.

Our friends at Magicard have rolled out a new card printer that makes high-quality printing and strong card security affordable for smaller applications. The Magicard Pronto is a single-feed printer that's perfect for use in smaller environments with lower volume printing needs. With a light and compact design, the Pronto is easy to transport and lends itself to many different applications such as employee ID badges, event credentials, loyalty cards, membership cards and more.

The budget-friendly Magicard Pronto comes with a host of features that highlight its simplicity and versatility. The Pronto can print color ID cards in about 35 seconds and monochrome ID cards in just 7 seconds. Security is built into the printer. The Pronto comes standard with Magicard's patented HoloKote secure watermark system. Four watermark patterns (waves, rings, keys, and globes) are included at no extra cost, and can be applied across the surface of each printed card. This printer can also be used with Magicard's special HoloPatch card stock, which highlights a section of the watermark to produce a high visibility security seal on your ID cards. The Pronto is quick and easy to install with a color-coded LED status screen, a USB interface and a Microsoft plug-and-play driver.
