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.

In practice

What it means for your gatehouse

No queue at the gate in the morning rush

The driver registers and waits in the truck parking area. A text calls them to the dock.

Signed risk acknowledgments for the audit

You find the signed risk acknowledgment for every contractor. The Portal shows who was on site when, and which induction they had.

A flow for each gate

You turn check‑in steps on, skip them or reorder them for each entrance. The change applies right away.

Less load on the gatehouse

The kiosk takes over visitor check‑in and the visitor log, which takes work off the gatehouse.

How to choose

When to choose aReception

When your gate handles contractors, site risk acknowledgment, trucks and an outdoor kiosk.

When you want the kiosk, accessories and installation from one supplier.

If Eptura Visitor suits your entrance, switching the visitor log alone may not pay off.

How to choose

When to choose Proxyclick (Eptura Visitor)

When you mainly handle visitors in office buildings, or you already use the Eptura platform.

When you need watchlist screening against sanctions lists or a ready‑made integration with Lenel or Gallagher.

Then Eptura Visitor may suit you better, and the gate is no reason to switch.

Drivers now register themselves at the gate in their own language and we guide them into the site by SMS, so the queue finally moves on its own.

Frequently asked

Switching from Proxyclick, price and integrations

How does switching from Proxyclick work?

We go through what you have at your entrance with you and set up the check‑in flow to match it. We roll out within 14 days of your order.

Do we have to enter our contractors again?

No, we import your visitors and contractors from Proxyclick at no extra cost. A contractor company's representative can also upload their own workers in the Portal. Each of them then gets an invitation with a link to the web app.

What will switching cost?

Software for one kiosk starts at €499 a month on the Premium plan, billed annually. The kiosk, accessories and one‑time setup are paid separately. Prices exclude VAT.

Can we start with one gate?

Yes. You set the check‑in steps for each entrance separately, and a turnstile can be added later. The paid 30‑day trial costs €499, with no payment for hardware and no long contract.

Can we use our iPads?

Not iPads. We run the software on a compatible Android 13+ device with a touchscreen, camera, speakers and an echo‑canceling microphone. You can combine your own devices and our kiosks in one installation.

Will you connect to our access control system?

We have ready‑made integrations with ANeT, RON, Aktion, Cominfo, Salto, Genetec and others and connect to any other access control system with an API. The relay in ExtHUB, a box next to the kiosk, opens doors, turnstiles and gate arms, on the Enterprise plan. We do not supply turnstiles or gate arms; we connect to yours.

Do you screen visitors against a watchlist?

No, aReception does not screen against a watchlist. The kiosk verifies identity from a passport, ID card or eDoklady digital ID. ID scanning comes with the Enterprise plan.

What will our IT need to provide?

The kiosk only needs internet access, not access to your internal network. It connects by cable, Wi‑Fi or an LTE SIM.
