Chambers and offices, but also larger and smaller companies, have certainly not had an easy time. Their important work is linked closely to personal contact - something that was not possible due to various regulations! The Sweap visitor registration helped the IHK Würzburg-Schweinfurt to reopen its doors for visitors.

The creation of security and hygiene concepts is an important topic at the moment, not only for events of all kinds. Also for public institutions, such as chambers of commerce, very special regulations for contact with visitors must be observed. One of these regulations is the "...obligation to keep a record of attendance with information on contact tracking of guests and service recipients...". (Senatskanzlei Berlin).

The institutions are free to decide how they implement this documentation in practice: analogue or digital. It is advisable to use a digital solution. This has numerous - not inconsiderable - advantages:

Data protection

In contrast to a public analog list, access to digital information can be controlled and restricted.

Data storage

Digital information can be stored securely, analog lists can be lost, misplaced or even stolen.

Data filtering

Digital information can be filtered quickly and easily and/or sorted by desired attributes.

Data publication

The data can be shared directly and digitally and published with authorities.

So, if an issue can be traced back to a specific source, it is possible to immediately determine who was in which areas on that day, with just a few clicks.

The IHK Würzburg-Schweinfurt has also opted for a digital solution and kindly shared its experience.

Registration form as attendance documentation

Sweap's registration form can be used in many different ways, so you can easily document your visitors by simply customizing the form to serve as detailed attendance documentation.

By using a QR code, all visitors are directed to the registration form on the website of the IHK Würzburg-Schweinfurt. Here, all data necessary to trace chains of infections can be stored and it is always clear who is where and when.

IHK Schweinfurt Website zur Erfassung der Besucherdaten

To inform visitors about this possibility, the IHK Würzburg-Schweinfurt has created an information sheet. Documents like this can be sent to visitors or participants via the Sweap communication tools. To ensure that everyone has received and read this information, the opening rates of the e-mail can be tracked.

"We've been trying to do visitor registration at the reception desk via Sweap since the chamber opened and everyone is absolutely thrilled."
