EntrySign is trusted by thousands of schools to simplify sign-in processes, enhance safeguarding and streamline compliance. Here’s how.
1. Safeguarding and Martyn’s Law Readiness
With increasing attention on safety legislation such as Martyn’s Law, EntrySign helps schools stay prepared. Integration with Vivi enables powerful communication and lockdown messaging, supporting dynamic responses to emergencies while keeping all staff and visitors informed.

EntrySign integrates with leading MIS platforms, automatically syncing student and staff data for seamless administration. It provides live visibility of who is on-site, improving safeguarding and reducing manual workload.

Integrating EntrySign with your door access control system means fewer manual processes and improved safety. Use one RFID token for both sign-in and building access, making staff and visitor management more efficient and secure.
