Inside fit considerations

  • Integrations appear limited on the site to employee directory support; question availability of SSO, HR or access-control integrations
  • Assess physical kiosk needs (iPad mounts, badge printers) for badge-printing workflows.
  • Which privacy, compliance, and record-retention requirements matter most for your organisation?
  • Which existing workplace, identity, messaging, or access systems should this connect with?
  • Which plan structure best matches your number of locations, visitor volume, and rollout timeline?

LogBook360 fit considerations

  • Validate facial recognition consent and retention specifics in contracts and privacy policy.
  • Site describes fast deployment (under 24 hours) but integration complexity with third-party access control or HRMS may extend timelines — validate during scoping
  • Assess emergency muster workflows in live drills
  • How should evacuation, roll-call, and on-site occupancy workflows operate across your sites?
  • Which existing workplace, identity, messaging, or access systems should this connect with?
