| Factor | Splan | VisitUs | Buyer meaning |
|---|---|---|---|
| Buyer fit / target customers | VisitUs targets organisations needing multi-site visitor/contractor sign‑in with emphasis on evacuation workflows and low-friction self-serve setup. | Splan targets enterprises and regulated facilities needing unified PIAM (badging, lifecycle management) and deep PACS/IAM integrations. | Choose VisitUs when evacuation-first, easy self-serve onboarding and quick pilots are priority. Choose Splan when you need enterprise PIAM, centralized badge lifecycle and out‑of‑the‑box PACS integrations. |
| Deployment options & complexity | Cloud-first with self-serve, quick setup and selectable regional hosting (AU/US/EU) described. | Flexible cloud, on‑prem or hybrid deployments advertised with guided setup for enterprise customers. | VisitUs can be faster to trial and roll out; Splan may better suit organisations that need on‑prem/hybrid deployments or enterprise rollout support. |
| Hardware requirements & kiosk support | Kiosk support is optional; primary sign-in via tablet, web app or QR code; optional badge printing noted. | Optional kiosk support plus emphasis on badge issuance workflows and mobile credentials; explicit integrations with credential hardware vendors. | Both support kiosks; Splan emphasises integrated badge issuance and mobile credentialing, which matters if you require centralized badging and hardware integration. |
| Visitor journey & sign-in options | Pre-registration via portal, mobile app, CSV, calendar invites; QR check-in, inductions, safety videos, digital signing and host notifications (Teams/SMS/email). | Pre-registration, QR/mobile check-in and self‑service kiosks; workflow automation tied into badge provisioning and credential issuance. | VisitUs focuses on flexible, multi-channel sign‑in and guest communications; Splan links sign‑in to automated credential/badge lifecycle for tighter physical access workflows. |
| Contractor & vendor management | Contractor induction, document signing and inductions supported (pre-registration, signed compliance documents referenced). | Dedicated contractor/vendor management with work permits, checklists, document storage and approvals described. | Both support contractor use cases, but Splan explicitly surfaces permit/checklist and approval workflows for higher control over vendor tasks and approvals. |
| Evacuation / mustering capabilities | Explicit real‑time evacuation roll call, mobile roll calls, 'I am safe' confirmations, SMS alerts and time‑stamped reports. | Provides mustering and emergency evacuation support; mustering integrates with emergency systems and reporting for compliance. | Both vendors offer mustering/evacuation; VisitUs highlights SMS 'I am safe' flows and simple roll calls, while Splan positions mustering inside broader emergency integration and PIAM context. |
| Access control & identity integrations | Offers SSO, API, webhooks, directory integration and Microsoft AD/Teams integrations; limited published PACS integrations. | Stronger emphasis on PACS/IAM/EHR integrations (Lenel, Genetec, Avigilon, CCure), mobile credentials, and unified PIAM/badge automation. | If you need deep, turnkey PACS and badge automation, Splan has clearer positioning. If you need AD/Teams notifications, VisitUs documents those integrations explicitly. |
| Analytics, reporting & audit trails | Audit‑ready, time‑stamped evacuation reports, visitor history, scheduled reports, exports and multi-site views. | Dashboards, audit logs and compliance reporting with analytics and AI security insights; reporting tied into PIAM audit trails. | Both provide compliance reporting; choose VisitUs for straightforward visitor/evacuation exports and Splan when you want integrated PIAM audit trails and security analytics. |
