Criteria scores
Scores are calculated consistently from published vendor information, product evidence and review sources.
This is a directory scoring model based on public vendor pages, review data, and visible product signals. It is designed to make differences easier to scan, not to declare a universal winner.
| Factor | MRI OnLocation | TEKVisit | Buyer meaning |
|---|---|---|---|
| Buyer fit / target use-cases | Positioned for workplace, multi-location enterprises, schools, healthcare, government, manufacturing, logistics, construction — explicit emphasis on contractors, H&S, facilities and compliance teams. | Listed sectors include schools, enterprise, workplace, logistics, government but no documented buyer personas or detailed target use-cases. | OnLocation has clearer fit signals for organisations with contractor-heavy operations and H&S needs; TEKVisit's buyer fit is unspecified and needs confirmation. |
| Deployment & hosting information | Guided setup indicated; hosting region/data-residency not published on supplied pages. | No published deployment or hosting information in supplied data. | Neither supplier publishes clear hosting/data-residency details; OnLocation at least documents a guided onboarding approach, which may reduce internal IT effort. |
| Hardware options (kiosks, touchless) | Explicit support for kiosks, touchless sign-in via QR codes and mobile apps; hardware is optional. | Hardware flexibility and kiosk support not published. | Buyers wanting confirmed kiosk and QR/touchless options have evidence for OnLocation; TEKVisit requires confirmation of supported hardware and recommended devices. |
| Visitor journey and sign-in options | Supports mobile apps, QR codes, kiosks, touchless sign-in, standard kiosks and mobile screening; pre-built screening and waivers mentioned. | describes pre-registration, touchless identity verification and digital logs in description, but no detailed workflow pages crawled; evidence is weak/missing for step-by-step visitor flows and features. | OnLocation provides clearer, documented visitor-flow capabilities; TEKVisit’s listed visitor features need detailed validation (for example, pre-registration emails, host notifications, guardrail flows). |
| Contractor management and compliance | Explicit contractor workflows: storing certifications, insurance, inductions/eLearning, expiry reminders and contractor access controls. | No contractor management evidence in supplied information. | Organisations that require contractor document management, inductions or certification expiry tracking are better evidenced with OnLocation; TEKVisit’s suitability is unknown until vendor clarifies contractor features. |
| Evacuation and emergency headcount | Built-in emergency headcount, automated roll-calls, evacuation management, SOS/panic features and post-emergency reporting are described. | No evacuation or emergency roll-call features documented in supplied material. | OnLocation is demonstrably suited for sites requiring evacuation roll-calls and headcount accuracy; TEKVisit must confirm equivalent capabilities for safety and compliance requirements. |
| Access control & integrations | Mentions managing visitor and contractor access permissions; specific API/integration details not published. | Description references access-control integration but no documented integration specifics or API evidence were provided. | Both vendors need to provide detailed integration matrices; OnLocation has clearer access-permission workflows but integration partners/APIs should be confirmed for both. |
| Pricing posture and transparency | Vendor pages promote subscription tiers (Small/Medium/Large/Custom) in AUD and mention usage limits; pricing details are partially published in supplied data but the product pages noted pricing not published—some discrepancy across sources. | No pricing published in supplied profile; pricing posture unknown. | OnLocation signals tiered pricing and published plan names which helps procurement forecasting (but confirm published rates and limits). TEKVisit provides no pricing transparency in supplied data—expect to need an RFP/POA engagement to get commercials. |
