Spintly fit considerations

  • Need for third-party integrations (calendar, SSO, HR) and documented APIs
  • Data hosting region, retention and export capabilities
  • Support for contractor/evacuation workflows if required
  • Which plan structure best matches your number of locations, visitor volume, and rollout timeline?

VisTab fit considerations

  • Obtain written details on AWS region and contractual data residency guarantees.
  • Public documentation does not list pricing tiers or licensing details — procurement will need direct quoting.
  • Integration details are limited on public pages (for example, depth of Active Directory synchronisation, SMS provider, or APIs are not documented).
  • Validate integration depth for Active Directory and any HR/payroll/API needs
  • Assess total cost including SMS and hardware replacement
