Traction Guest Inc. and Gemalto Embark on Preferred Partnership

Traction Guest and Gemalto join forces to combine an industry-leading cloud-based visitor management system with high-end ID scanners, setting new security standards.

VANCOUVER, Dec. 13, 2018 /CNW/ - Traction Guest, a pioneer in visitor management systems, announced that it has entered into a preferred partnership with Gemalto, a digital security hardware firm that produces ID scanners capable of processing high visitor volume.

Traction Guest's vision is to integrate high-end ID scanners into their visitor check-in process to bolster security and efficiency. Gemalto provides unique value as Traction Guest couples Gemalto's reader technology with its visitor management system, offering superior flexibility, customer experience and security features. "The leaders in one space were looking for the leaders in another to create something that would serve everyone's customers in a new and symbiotic way," says Traction Guest CEO Keith Metcalfe.

The visitor experience that Traction Guest and Gemalto will offer together is designed to support organizations with high-volume visitor traffic. Traction Guest CTO Cameron Wiebe explains: "For each visitor to these sites, security personnel have to record the guest's name, validate their ID, check them against any number of watchlists and then keep that person's identity and personal information confidential. With a traditional paper log book, this is extremely difficult, if not impossible."

Now, armed with Gemalto scanners, Traction Guest will offer an Assisted-Check-In option that security officials can use to deliver an efficient sign-in experience that strengthens security. "As far as we know," says Metcalfe, "Traction Guest is the first cloud-based VMS to use high-end ID scanners to provide this kind of assisted check-in process."
