Visitors

Let people in for the visit, and only the visit.Visitor passes on every door you fit. Nothing extra to wire.

The host sends a link, the visitor fills in a form on their phone, and a pass turns up by email. At the door they tap it and walk in. No app, no lanyard, no signing-in book with a missing pen.

Passes run on the controllers and readers you’ve already put in. Nothing for the visitor to install, nothing extra on the quote: they come with every BOLT-DOOR licence.

Five steps. The visitor does two of them.

The host sets the visit up before anyone arrives, so reception isn’t a queue and the visitor isn’t handed a clipboard. The host sets the visit up before anyone arrives. The door does the rest, so nobody rings you to add a contractor for Tuesday.

A visit, start to finish. The host sends a link. The visitor fills in a short form, with no app to install. Bolt emails them a time-bound pass. At the door they tap it and the door opens. Telling the host their visitor has arrived is in early access, so that step is drawn dashed. 1 2 3 4 5 UK cloud Host Host SENDS A LINK Visitor registers NO APP Pass by email TIME-BOUND LINK Tap at the door Door opens Host notified EARLY ACCESS
Fig. 2.1A visit, start to finish Dashed: early access
  1. The host sends a link

    From Bolt, before the visit. Nobody at reception has to type anything in.

  2. The visitor registers

    A short, branded form in their browser. No app to install, no account to make.

  3. The pass arrives by email

    A link that works for the visit and stops working afterwards.

  4. They tap it at the door

    The link unlocks the door. That’s the whole procedure.

  5. The host hears they’ve arrived

    Early access. An email to the host when their visitor taps in.

Every stage of a visit. Every option.

From the invite to the moment it expires, what Bolt does at each step, and what’s ready today. What the customer can switch on at each step of a visit, on the doors you’ve already fitted, and what’s ready today.
