Who Uses Gate Sentry

One Platform, Every Role

From the guard at the gate to the visitor pulling up and the administrator overseeing it all — Gate Sentry works for everyone who touches your facility's access.

Security Teams

Clear the Line at the Vehicle Window

Gate Sentry runs on the tablet your guards already carry, so officers can step out to the truck window instead of being tied to a desk. Pre-registered drivers clear in about 10 seconds — scan the SentryPass, confirm the match, wave them through.

  • ~10-second entry: Scan a SentryPass and the verified profile loads instantly
  • Real-time search: Look up anyone by name, company, license plate, or visit history
  • Works offline: Keeps screening and logging during internet or power outages, then syncs automatically
  • Officer certification: Built-in online training course with completion certificates standardizes how every guard processes visitors

Visitors & Contractors

Check In Before Arrival or On Site

Visitors and contractors can pre-register before they arrive or complete registration on site. Either way, Gate Sentry guides them through the required information, documents, and approvals for a faster, more consistent check-in.

  • Pre-register before arrival: Complete contact information, vehicle details, ID uploads, waivers, forms, and required documents ahead of time
  • Check in on site: New visitors can register when they arrive using a mobile device, tablet, kiosk, or with security at the front desk or gate
  • Faster returning visits: Pre-registered visitors can be quickly verified and checked in without repeating the full registration process
  • Everything captured: Required forms, documents, signatures, and visitor details are recorded with the visit
  • No visitor app required: Registration and check-in can be completed directly through a browser

The Honest Comparison

The Old Way vs. Gate Sentry

Paper logs, spreadsheets, and proprietary gate hardware feel normal because they're familiar. Here's what changes when you replace them with tablet software.

Feature Paper, Excel & Proprietary Hardware Gate Sentry Tablet
Identity Verification Blind trust of handwritten names ID scanning and watchlist checks
On-Site Headcount A static record of past arrivals A real-time, live on-site headcount
Data Privacy Exposes prior visitor data to everyone Encrypted, private visitor records
Check-In Speed A one-to-fifteen-minute bottleneck A ~10-second scan that clears the line
Guard Mobility Bound to a fixed interior desk Handheld mobility for vehicle lanes
Sentry Solo

Visitor Entry at Unmanned Gates & Entrances

When there is no guard or receptionist at the entrance, Sentry Solo gives expected guests, vendors, and unexpected visitors a clear mobile path to access.

Invited Guests

SoloPass

Send guests their own digital pass before arrival. They open SoloPass on their phone and tap OPEN at the approved entrance — no shared gate code or visitor app.

Vendors & Contractors

VirtualKeypad

Vendors scan the SentrySign QR code, open the mobile VirtualKeypad in their browser, and enter their assigned access code from their phone.

Unexpected Visitors

Visitor Intercom

If someone arrives without a SoloPass or access code, they can use the mobile Intercom to request access from the appropriate contact.

Staffed main entrance and unmanned secondary gate? Gate Sentry and Sentry Solo can support both access experiences across the property.

Commercial FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Does Gate Sentry work for manufacturing and warehouse facilities?
Yes. Gate Sentry is designed for commercial and industrial properties including manufacturing plants, warehouses, distribution facilities, and logistics operations. It supports staffed gates, security desks, reception areas, and lobby visitor check-in.
Can visitors pre-register before they arrive?
Yes. Visitors, contractors, vendors, and delivery drivers can complete registration before arriving at the property. Pre-registration can collect contact information, vehicle details, ID uploads, required documents, forms, waivers, acknowledgments, and signatures so less has to happen when the visitor reaches the facility.
Does Gate Sentry support lobby and front desk visitor check-in?
Yes. Gate Sentry can be used for visitor check-in at lobbies, reception desks, security desks, and other staffed entrances. Pre-registered visitors can be verified when they arrive, while walk-in visitors can complete registration on site using their phone, a tablet or kiosk, or with help from reception or security staff.
How does visitor check-in work at a staffed commercial gate?
Visitors can pre-register before arrival or register when they reach the gate. Pre-registered visitors can be quickly verified by security, while new visitors can complete the required registration, documents, and approvals before access is granted.
What happens if a visitor was not pre-registered?
They can register on site. Walk-in visitors can complete the required visitor information when they arrive at the lobby, reception desk, security desk, or staffed gate. The completed registration becomes part of the visitor's digital record.
Can we collect IDs, forms, waivers, and required documents?
Yes. Required information can be collected during pre-registration before arrival or during on-site check-in. Gate Sentry can capture visitor details, ID and document uploads, forms, waivers, acknowledgments, and electronic signatures and keep them connected to the visitor record.
What if we have unmanned gates or entrances?
Sentry Solo supports visitor access at unmanned gates and entrances. Invited guests can receive SoloPass mobile access, vendors and service providers can use VirtualKeypad codes, and unexpected visitors can use the mobile Intercom to request access when they do not already have a pass or code.
What happens if the internet goes down at a staffed gate?
Gate Sentry guard tablets support offline operation so security teams can continue screening visitors and recording entry activity during a connectivity interruption. Information can sync once connectivity is restored.
Can we ban a person or company from the facility?
Yes. Administrators can maintain facility-wide restrictions for individuals or companies so security teams can identify restricted visitors during the check-in process.
What reporting and oversight do administrators get?
The Admin Portal provides searchable visitor history, visitor and contractor activity records, reporting, and operational visibility so administrators can review what happened across the facility.
Do you train our security officers?
Yes. Gate Sentry includes officer training designed to standardize how security teams use the system and process visitors across the property.
How long does it take to get started?
Gate Sentry helps with data transfer, configuration, and implementation so facilities can move from their existing visitor process to a digital workflow without having to build the system themselves.
