What to know about AskCody
AskCody starts visitor management in the Outlook meeting invite: organizers add guest names and email addresses alongside the room and catering, and reception sees the guests linked to that meeting. This meeting-based workflow is the product’s clearest differentiator from a front-desk-first guest list. When a meeting moves or recurs, its guest registrations follow, while the reception portal provides an overview of expected and current visitors across locations. Guests can receive visit information in advance, check in at reception, on a kiosk or by phone, and trigger a host notification; badges and NDA signing are also supported. AskCody is most relevant to workplaces already using Microsoft 365 and coordinating visitors with meeting rooms and services. Visitor Management is included in the AskCody Platform, published from $5,149 per year with 1 reception, 5 meeting rooms and 10 workspaces. The product also documents Azure hosting and automatic visitor-data anonymization to support GDPR compliance.

Overview
AskCody Visitor Management connects guest registration to the meeting invite in Outlook. Organizers add guests’ names and email addresses alongside the room and catering; reception sees expected and current guests, their meetings, rooms and relevant notes in a portal.
Guests can receive directions, WiFi details and other instructions by email or SMS, and a receptionist or the guest can check them in at reception, on a kiosk or by phone. Check-in can notify the host, print a badge and support NDA signing. Guests follow meeting changes and recurring occurrences because they are linked to the meeting in Exchange.
The product is included in the AskCody Platform, which starts at $5,149 per year with 1 reception, 5 meeting rooms and 10 workspaces. AskCody runs on Microsoft Azure and can automatically anonymize visitor data.

- Reception teams managing expected and current guests across locations
- Workplaces coordinating visitor arrivals with rooms and catering
