Outsourced communication provider Moneypenny has joined forces with visitor management system Vpod to offer dedicated video front-of-house and concierge support.

Moneypenny鈥檚 video-based support will be added to Vpod鈥檚 Vgreet product, a virtual reception that offers a contactless check-in, reduces congestion in front of house and reduces visitor management costs.

Vgreet delivers functions such as pre-registration, visitor identification, wayfinding and thermal imaging, all of which support the 鈥榥ew normal鈥 workplace.

With the support of Moneypenny receptionists, Vgreet customers can now provide kiosk users with easy access to extra help and support via video at check-in, as part of a seamless hybrid solution.

Jess Pritchard, Head of the Corporate Sector at Moneypenny, said: 鈥淏y making our receptionists accessible via video for the first time, we鈥檙e helping Vgreet to offer a cost-effective and efficient human response when it鈥檚 needed most and make the process from check-in to host arrival as frictionless as possible.

鈥淭he solution is designed to complement a front of house team or receptionist but could work stand-alone where budget is limited. Times are changing and this collaboration delivers efficiencies and safety – both of which are high priorities for most businesses right now.
