What to know about Kadence
Kadence documents a visitor workflow that prepares guests before arrival, checks them in at self-service kiosks, and then tracks onsite occupancy through centralized records and dashboards. The product is positioned within Kadence’s workplace operations platform rather than as a standalone sign-in app. Its clearest operational distinction is centralized governance across locations: global administrators can set policies while retaining site-level controls and regional exceptions. Digital NDAs and safety acknowledgments can be completed ahead of arrival and stored for audit readiness. The product also feeds visitor presence data into SpaceOps alongside employee presence, supporting workplace activity and space planning. This makes the published workflow especially relevant to multi-location offices seeking consistent visitor procedures, unattended entry, and retrievable records.
