We’re just one month in and already have an exciting collection of new features for employees, visitors, and admins. Check out what’s new in Envoy for January!
Workplace updates
Streamline admin workflows with automatic map placement
Admins can now add multiple desks with a simple drag and drop. Envoy Workplace leverages computer vision AI to detect and place multiple seats in just a few clicks. Admins can confirm bulk placement and decide how desks are numbered before adding them to the workplace map. Learn more.
Available on Workplace Premium and above.
Visitors updates
Automatically sign in visitors with facial recognition
Accelerate sign-in without sacrificing security using facial recognition for returning visitors, or visitors who upload a photo during pre-registration. Once enabled at a location, visitors with a photo on file can simply look into the kiosk camera to auto-fill their information. Learn more.
Available on Visitors Enterprise.
Include multiple hosts in a single invite
Make coordinating visits easier and improve the visitor experience by adding up to 9 additional hosts to an invite. All hosts associated with the invite will be able to view and manage the invite, and will receive a notification when their visitor arrives. Learn more.
