Kadence has launched a newly rebuilt Visitor Management System (VMS) integrated into its workplace operations platform. The solution automates visitor workflows, eliminates front-desk bottlenecks, and provides real-time visibility into on-site activity across global locations, addressing the complexities of hybrid offices and distributed enterprises.

  • Kadence introduces an AI-powered, rebuilt Visitor Management System embedded within its unified workplace platform to streamline visitor operations.
  • Features self-service kiosks, QR check-in, automated invites via Kadence AI in Teams or Slack, document capture, host notifications, and centralized audit-ready logs.
  • Visitor data feeds directly into Kadence SpaceOps as a contextual signal alongside employee attendance for insights into foot traffic, peak times, and space demand.
  • Designed for scale with global governance, local flexibility, real-time visibility for security and emergencies, and consistent branded experiences across sites.
  • Supports autonomous check-in for lean, hybrid offices while standardizing compliance and workflows worldwide.
  • Eliminates fragmented tools by replacing standalone VMS with a native, intelligent system that reduces manual effort and blind spots.

Hybrid work models and multi-site expansion have intensified the need for efficient visitor management. Traditional standalone systems often rely on manual processes, disconnected apps, and limited visibility, leading to delays, security gaps, and inconsistent experiences.

Kadence's rebuilt VMS tackles these issues by embedding visitor operations into a broader, AI-driven platform. Employees can invite guests directly through natural language in Microsoft Teams or Slack using Kadence AI, removing the need for separate tools or workflows.

Upon arrival, preregistered visitors use QR codes for rapid check-in, while high-volume sites benefit from intuitive self-service kiosks. The system captures essential compliance documents—such as NDAs and waivers—during the process and instantly notifies hosts via preferred channels like Teams, Slack, or email.

All visitor activity syncs in real time to Kadence SpaceOps, treating guests as operational signals comparable to employee presence. This provides workplace, security, and IT teams with comprehensive visibility into external traffic, peak arrival patterns, and resulting space utilization demands.

"Visitor management isn't just a front-desk function anymore - it's a core part of how the workplace operates," said Dan Bladen, co-founder and CEO of Kadence. "We listened to customers who needed something more scalable, more intelligent, and more connected. This is visitor management built like the rest of Kadence: elegant, easy-to-use, and AI-powered to meet the modern workplace where it is today."

Key capabilities include:

  • Fast, autonomous entry via high-volume kiosks and QR check-in.
  • AI-automated guest invites and coordination.
  • Built-in document capture for compliance and security.
  • Instant, multi-channel host notifications.
  • Centralized, global visitor logs with audit readiness.
  • Seamless integration with broader workplace insights for contextual decision-making.

The solution supports enterprises managing thousands of weekly visitors while accommodating hybrid realities—minimal staffing in some offices, global standardization with local customization, and consistent on-brand arrivals everywhere.

By unifying visitor management with space, desk booking, team scheduling, and real-time analytics, Kadence delivers a single intelligent system that enhances operational clarity, security, and control for multi-site organizations.
