PULT fit considerations

  • Visitor kiosk requires an additional device (iPad or tablet) for front-desk check-in

  • Emergency & evacuation workflows tied to live presence data

WaitWell fit considerations

  • Some specialised capabilities (custom integrations, SSO, sandbox, SLA) are gated to Enterprise/Campus plans and require sales engagement
  • Does the vendor provide native mobile apps or is browser access sufficient for your use case?
  • Are required integrations (SSO, CRM, calendar, SMS carriers) available on the chosen plan or reserved for Enterprise?
  • 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?
