Choose Kadence when

  • Visitor workflows to feed directly into space and occupancy planning
  • Centralized multi-region governance for visitor policies
  • Native integration of visitor check-ins into SpaceOps for scenario planning
  • Emphasis on AI-assisted invites and automated workflows
  • Enterprises with multiple offices needing consistent global visitor workflows

Choose TouchPoint when

  • Enterprise-grade, auditable gate evidence and continuous contractor eligibility enforcement across multiple sites.
  • PAC compliance framework (authorised→verified→tracked→exited→proven) and explicit emphasis on producing audit-ready evidence
  • AI persona agents and voice agent for plain-language queries and continuous anomaly detection
  • Enterprises and multi-site operators needing centralised, auditable access-control evidence
  • Manufacturing, data centre, healthcare or energy sites with contractor-heavy operations

Kadence fit considerations

  • Pricing and exact plan feature boundaries require a custom quote; active-user billing is referenced but without public price points
  • Extent of kiosk and badge-printer hardware compatibility
  • Data residency, encryption specifics and certifications
  • How visitor records are counted in active-user billing
  • Which plan structure best matches your number of locations, visitor volume, and rollout timeline?

TouchPoint fit considerations

  • Website focuses on capabilities and outcomes but does not publish pricing, hosting regions, APIs, or supported mobile platforms — these require direct vendor clarification
  • Assess depth of APIs or integrations for HR, access control or ticketing systems
  • Which privacy, compliance, and record-retention requirements matter most for your organisation?
  • How should evacuation, roll-call, and on-site occupancy workflows operate across your sites?
  • How well does TouchPoint match your busiest visitor, contractor, or reception workflow?
