What to know about Archie
Archie Visitors is a strong fit for organisations that need a combined workspace and visitor-management experience: it pairs desk/room booking, visitor sign-in, and evacuation tools within one platform and supports common workplace integrations (Teams, Slack, Outlook), SSO/SCIM and an open API. The DPA and Annexes disclose encryption, availability targets and sub-processor governance, which helps satisfy GDPR-conscious buyers. Pricing is per-desk with Starter/Pro tiers and a custom Enterprise offering for compliance and residency requirements.

- initial setup/onboarding can require considerable configuration or more guidance
- occasional payment/integration limitations that may need developer time
Questions to ask
- What SLAs and uptime guarantees apply to the Visitor product specifically (versus infrastructure provider targets)?
- Which access control vendors have out-of-the-box integrations and what is required for unlocking doors via Archie?
- How well does Archie match your busiest visitor, contractor, or reception workflow?
- Which locations, teams, and visitor types should be included in the first rollout?
Implementation notes
- Use the 14-day trial to validate kiosk/tablet check-in flows, badge printing and photo capture before wide rollout
- Plan SSO/SCIM provisioning with IT early and test host-notification flows (Teams/Slack) during pilot to ensure communications routing.
