Executive Summary

Many mid-size and enterprise firms, branch-heavy businesses, and managed real-estate portfolios still rely on front-desk staff and fragmented visitor systems, forcing frequent handoffs between reception, security, and host teams and creating delays, missed appointments and compliance gaps. This problem affects roughly 6 million commercial locations globally, representing an addressable market of about $9.6B at an average $1,600 ACV. You could build an API-first visitor orchestration platform that embeds visitor flows directly into business workflows—pre-visit verification, host notifications in Slack/Teams, access-control APIs, badge issuance, and tamper-proof audit logs—plus SDKs and low-code connectors for HR, CRM and facilities systems. Start with pre-built integrations for scheduling and door hardware, offer an enterprise tier for compliance reporting, and pursue pilots in branch networks to prove reductions in receptionist handoffs and processing time. The timing is favorable: hybrid work, API-first workplace stacks, and rising security/compliance pressure create demand now, which is reflected by a market score of 88/100 and revenue potential rated 80/100. Differentiation will require concentrating on deep workflow integration and developer experience rather than a standalone kiosk app; strengths include clear ROI on labor and risk reduction, while challenges are medium competition, complex integrations, and long enterprise procurement cycles—overcoming those will need strong channel partners and measurable pilot outcomes.
