How Do You Replace a Paper Sign-In Sheet With a Secure Digital Visitor System?
Streamline visitor check-in, mailroom operations, and workplace access with a single intelligent platform.

Fortified Technologies installs Verkada-based workplace platforms throughout Alberta for single offices to multi-site operations. Software licensing and hardware requirements vary by site; use the Cost Estimator for a scoped range.

- Secure, private data capture & NDAs
- Instant SMS/Email alerts to hosts
- Real-time muster reports for safety
