Say Goodbye to Visitor Management Headaches: How Spruce Makes Access Seamless and Secure

Managing visitors in an estate or community can be a significant challenge. From long queues at the gate to manual logbooks prone to errors and security risks, traditional methods often lead to frustration for residents, guests, and security personnel alike.

But what if visitor access could be effortless, secure, and even enhance community living?

That’s where Spruce comes in. We understand the pain points of outdated systems and have built a solution designed to revolutionize how estates handle guests.

The Problems with Traditional Visitor Management:

You’re probably familiar with these scenes:

• Security Concerns: Manual logbooks are easily forged or incomplete. There’s no real-time data on who is currently on the premises or who has left.
• Resident Frustration: Residents often have to call the gate multiple times, deal with confused security guards, or wait for guests stuck in queues.
• Guest Annoyance: Guests experience delays and a cumbersome check-in process upon arrival.
• Inefficiency for Security: Guards spend valuable time manually writing entries, flipping through pages, and making calls, taking focus away from actual security duties.
• Lack of Data: There’s no easy way to track visitor frequency, peak times, or generate reports for auditing or planning.

Spruce: Your Smarter Solution for Guest Access

Spruce transforms the visitor experience from a point of friction into a seamless, secure process. Our smart visitor management module is integrated directly into the Spruce app, putting control and convenience back into the hands of residents and management.

Here’s how it works:

• Effortless Booking & Pre-registration: Residents can easily pre-register their expected guests directly through the Spruce app anytime, anywhere. No more last-minute calls to the gate!
• Automated, Secure Access Codes: Once a guest is pre-registered, Spruce automatically generates a unique access code (like a QR code or PIN). This code is sent directly to the guest (and the resident) via WhatsApp, email, or SMS.
• Direct Delivery for Convenience: The guest receives their access code straight to their phone, providing clear instructions and eliminating confusion upon arrival.
• Fast & Secure Entry: Guests simply present their automated access code at the gate for a quick, secure scan. Security personnel have instant verification, speeding up the process significantly.
• Real-time Tracking & Enhanced Security: Spruce provides real-time visibility of guest arrivals and departures. Access codes can be set to expire automatically after the visit, adding an extra layer of security.
• Flexible Control: Need to make a change? Residents and management can easily revalidate, extend, reschedule, or cancel guest visits through the app (as shown on Page 8 of our presentation!), offering unprecedented flexibility and control.
• Secure Authentication: For enhanced security, Spruce can incorporate features like NIN verification for residents, ensuring only legitimate residents can manage visitor access.

• Improved Resident Satisfaction: A smooth, modern experience makes residents happier with their community.
