aReception
Where aReception is stronger
Up to three card types at one kiosk
Each dispenser issues a different card type, for example for visitors and contractors. Every card issued and returned is logged against a person.
Kiosks and dispensersAn evacuation list that includes employees
Connected to your access control system, the muster list includes employees too. They then get the evacuation text message as well.
EvacuationA flow for every entrance
Turn check‑in steps on, skip them or reorder them for each entrance. The change applies at once.
FeaturesEptura
Where Eptura is stronger
Eptura runs the whole workplace, not just the entrance. aReception does not offer these features.
One platform for offices
Eptura brings together desk and room booking, space planning and moves. Facility management works in one system.
Maintenance and assets
Eptura Asset runs work orders and preventive maintenance. Archibus and Serraview add building and real estate management.
Watchlist and facial recognition
Eptura checks visitors against a watchlist. It confirms identity at check‑in with facial recognition.
Reviews
What customers say
5/5G2
Truck check‑in finally runs on its own, and every contractor has a record
- Likes
- Drivers register themselves at the kiosk in 4 languages and get a text message when they can drive in. About 80% manage without help. Every contractor goes through the safety briefing, and we have a record of who came when.
- Dislikes
- In the first weeks we had to fine‑tune the questions and the flow to our gate. I would welcome more flexible exports.
4/5Capterra
Of three Eptura modules, Workplace was the easiest to set up
- Likes
- Out of the three Eptura modules our company uses, Eptura Workplace was the easiest to set up, implement and manage.
- Dislikes
- Not being able to update or edit the map easily, or without the help of the Eptura team.
5/5Capterra
One system for all the modules
- Likes
- One stop shop for all the modules under one software umbrella. Assets, inventory and preventive maintenance are tied together.
- Dislikes
- The new mobile app needs some feature work, but it grows stronger with each update.
3/5Capterra
Strong foundation, but significant administrative effort
- Likes
- One centralized place to manage work orders, preventive maintenance, inspections, assets and documentation.
- Dislikes
- Keeping the information accurate takes a lot of administrative oversight. Many workflows, fields and reporting options are not very intuitive.
3/5Capterra
Mergers have resulted in poorer customer service
- Likes
- A complete workplace tool, from floor plans, people management and moves to mail and visitors.
- Dislikes
- Since the merger with Eptura, the reviewer says customer service, product stability and terms have declined.

In practice
What it means for your gatehouse
Maintenance in Eptura, gate entry in aReception
You keep planning contractor jobs in Eptura. When the technician arrives, the induction and risk acknowledgment happen in aReception at the gate.
No queue at the entrance
Drivers register and wait in the holding area. A text message calls them to the dock.
A record after an accident or inspection
You get a report listing each person at once: who was on site when, which induction was valid and what they signed.
A trial without a long contract
Try the kiosk in a paid 30‑day trial, with no payment for hardware. If it does not help, we take it away.
How to choose
When to choose aReception
When you handle contractors, inductions, trucks and turnstile access at the gate of a manufacturing site.
When you want the kiosk, software and installation from one supplier and a go‑live 14 days after the order.
You do not have to replace Eptura for this. You can keep it for offices, maintenance and assets.

What customers who use aReception say
At last I can see everyone on site in real time, and we are ready for both an inspection and an evacuation.

We particularly value the flexibility and scalability of the system and how smoothly it fits into our day to day operations.
Radek FialaPFM Group ManagementFrequently asked
Eptura alongside aReception, switching and price
What if we want to keep Eptura for offices and maintenance?
Eptura can keep running offices, maintenance and assets. aReception takes over the plant gate: contractors, inductions and trucks. Both can run side by side.
What if we want to connect aReception to Eptura?
Eptura can connect through our public API. We'll review your entrance setup with you and propose the integration.
What if we use Eptura Visitor at the entrance today?
Eptura Visitor was formerly Proxyclick. The aReception vs Proxyclick comparison covers the differences at the gate and the switch.
How does switching to aReception work?
We set up the check‑in steps, documents, languages and integrations as part of the one‑time setup. We bring the kiosk, install it and connect it to your gatehouse. We import your visitors and contractors from your current system at no extra cost. We roll out in 14 days from the order.
How does aReception's price compare with Eptura?
aReception has published pricing. Software for one kiosk starts at €499 a month, billed annually, on the Premium plan for manufacturing sites. The kiosk, accessories and one‑time setup are paid separately. Eptura does not publish its prices and offers an annual subscription with a contract for at least a year.
Who supplies the kiosk and the printer?
We sell you the kiosk, stand, label printer and card dispensers. We bring them, install them and connect them to your gatehouse.
What will our IT say about the kiosk?
The kiosk only needs internet access, not access to your internal network. It connects by cable, Wi‑Fi or an LTE SIM.
What if we want to start with one gate?
We set up the flow around your current entrance, and a turnstile can be added later. You can start with a paid 30‑day trial.
Will the kiosk at the entrance survive winter?
The outdoor Zebra kiosk works in rain and at temperatures from −4 to 122 °F (−20 to +50 °C). Drivers can use it with gloves on.
