Visitor management system trusted across 3,600+ sites
How do you currently manage check-ins on campus?
THE TRADITIONAL WAY
Many universities still rely on visitor books, spreadsheets or disconnected systems to record who is on site. These traditional processes make it harder to maintain accurate records, secure buildings and respond confidently in an emergency when it matters most.
Manual check-in queues
Unverified visitors
No access control
Limited reporting
Unreliable fire lists
Illegible records
Visitor management system for universities & campuses.

Custr is a visitor management system for universities that brings student, staff, contractor and visitor check-ins together in one secure place.

Visitor categories
Separate visitors, contractors, supply staff and trainees into their own check-in journeys, so each group is asked exactly what your safeguarding policy requires.
-
Document signing
Present your safeguarding policy at check-in, capture a digital signature and keep a secure record for every visitor and contractor on site.
-
Visitor badge printing
Print a badge at check-in so staff can instantly identify who is on site and why, at a glance, from across the room to help with pupil safeguarding.
-
Visitor screening
Pre-screen visitors and contractors against a watchlist or restricted list before they arrive, so anyone who shouldn't be granted access is flagged during check-in.
-
Evacuation lists
Give authorised staff instant access to a live, up-to-date evacuation list during a drill or emergency, so everyone on site can be accounted for quickly and accurately
-
Health & safety popup
Display a health & safety popup on the device screen before visitors and contractors check-in which must be digitally agreed before the check-in process begins.
One staff login to every building on campus.
Give staff a single login or QR code that works across every building on campus, so anyone moving between departments or sites can check in the same way each time. Track off-site status, notify colleagues automatically and maintain live attendance records centrally.

LIVE DASHBOARD
As a visitor management system for universities, Custr gives you one centralised dashboard to monitor visitor and staff check-ins across every building and campus. See your busiest locations, compare performance and spot which buildings need attention, all in real time.
Under Martyn's Law, schools with 200 or more people on site must have clear evacuation, lockdown and communication procedures in place, and be able to show they work. Custr gives authorised staff a live on-site list to manage evacuations, separate lockdown procedures to keep people secure, and instant notifications to keep everyone informed, all backed by reports ready for audit.
Support Martyn's Law across your campuses.
