Admittance - Setting Up Admittance Control

 

The Sportsman Membership Module has built-in functionality to allow our customers to track and permit admittance into a facility either directly from the application, or from the Admittance Control application.  The application is run from one or more workstations (computers) near an entry or connected to an entry door.   The application provides a screen showing who is scanning in with their picture, name and other details.  If they are not permitted to entry due to an expired membership or other reason the screen will alert the entry area staff or, if it is connected to an entry door or gate, the person will not be allowed passage through.   You can customize the control screen to add sounds and customize the information that appears on the Admittance Control screen.

 

The ability to track admittance will help with numerous decisions that come with running a facility.  There are many benefits to using admittance control including confirming active members, viewing member pictures, tracking admittance statistics to help make better business decisions.   Patrons can easily scan keyfobs, membership cards or QR codes using scanners or barcode readers.  Admittance can be integrated with gate systems and audible notifications.

 

 

Prerequisites:  You will need a barcode and/or QR scanner and you may have an entrance door or gate to configure.  Please call our Technical Consulting team for more personal assistance with your entry configurations.
