What to know about Archie
Archie’s documented workflow starts with a pre-registered or walk-in visitor checking in at a kiosk, phone, or tablet, followed by host notification, instructions, and a stored visitor record. Its clearest differentiator is the breadth of configurable visit handling: teams can combine forms, screening questions, photos, badges, signatures, restrictions, recurring visits, and check-out policies. The same workflow extends into emergency operations, where coordinators can send alerts, track departures or people marked safe, and save a report. Archie also connects visitor operations with Teams, Slack, guest Wi-Fi, access control, printing, SSO, SCIM, Zapier, and an open API. The product is therefore best assessed around workflow configuration, emergency procedures, reporting needs, and the desired integration path.

Questions to ask
- Which visitor flows need separate forms, screening questions, restrictions, or recurring-visit rules?
- Which of the documented connections—Teams, Slack, access control, SSO, SCIM, Zapier, or the open API—should be included in the rollout?
- What visitor-log fields, CSV exports, and emergency reports are required by the operating team?
- How should the 14-day trial be structured across the intended sites, kiosks, hosts, and visitor types?
- Which team will own emergency-dashboard access and evacuation coordination?
Implementation notes
- Define visit types and configure the associated forms, instructions, restrictions, check-out rules, badges, and signatures.
- Set up host notifications and any selected Teams, Slack, access-control, Wi-Fi, SSO, SCIM, Zapier, or API connections.
- Create the emergency procedure, assign its coordinator, and test alerting, presence tracking, and report retention.
- Use the trial to test kiosk or device check-in, recurring visits, CSV exports, and the required visitor flows.
