A visitor register is only useful if it is accurate. Unfortunately, paper registers and simple digital apps are easy to manipulate. A guard sitting in the staffroom might write down names to make it look like they are working, or log entries hours after they actually happened. To maintain true security, you must know that entries are logged in real-time, exactly at the school gate.
What is GPS Geofencing?
Geofencing is a technology that creates a digital boundary around a real-world location. During the initial setup of Solja, we calibrate the exact GPS coordinates of your school's gatehouse. The guard's mobile app will only allow check-ins and check-outs when the phone is physically located within that boundary.
If a guard tries to log an entry while sitting in a dormitory or off-campus, the app blocks the action. This ensures that every single visitor entry in your database was logged by a guard physically standing at their post. It mitigates against fake logs and guard tampering.
Eliminating Human Errors
Guards sometimes forget to log visitors in the rush of the day, planning to write them down later. This leads to inaccurate records and missing details. By enforcing real-time, geofenced logs, Solja ensures your records are always 100% accurate, helping you run a secure, audit-ready campus.
Why Location Verification Matters
- Zero Remote Tampering: Guards cannot log entries from home or off-post.
- Accurate Timestamps: Every entry is recorded at the exact moment the visitor arrives at the gate.
- Guards at Posts: Automatically verifies that security personnel are actively patrolling their stations.
