Kenai is a cloud-based workplace access intelligence platform. It manages visitors and employees from invitation or directory entry through to the historical record, giving you a live operational view of who is expected, who is onsite, and how site-access workflows are being run. You use Kenai to run a professional, secure, and measurable check-in operation across one site or many. ## What is in the platform? ### Visitor management * **Pre-register before arrival.** Visitors complete NDAs, safety inductions, and parking bookings online, saving time at reception. * **Touchless check-in onsite.** QR code or facial recognition at kiosks, with instant badge printing, for secure and effortless entry. * **Keep hosts in the loop.** Automatic notifications via Email, SMS, WhatsApp, or Teams, so hosts can approve or deny instantly. ### Employee management * **Always know who's in the building.** Every arrival and departure is captured in a single log, giving you a real-time view of office presence. * **Give managers the insight they need.** Managers can see team office hours, track return-to-work patterns, and export accurate timesheets instantly. * **Facilitate compliance processes.** Evacuations, inductions, and asset management all build on the same employee record. ### Evacuation management * **One unified presence log.** Every entry point feeds into one log, so you see every visitor, employee, contractor, and vehicle onsite in real time. * **Alert everyone in seconds, on every channel.** Start an evacuation with one click and notify people by Email, SMS, Teams, or WhatsApp, reaching every signed-in person onsite. * **Track who's safe and who needs help.** As people check in safe or request assistance, responses update live in the dashboard. ### Resource booking * **Keep every resource in one place.** Desks, rooms, parking, and lockers, all managed in a single system with one log across sites and buildings. * **Turn bookings into instant access.** Reserve a desk, parking bay, or locker, and access is provisioned automatically, synced in real time with Gallagher. * **See how space is really used.** Track bookings against actual access events, so you know which resources are used and which sit empty. ### Safety induction * **Complete inductions wherever it works best.** Employees and visitors can complete training remotely during pre-registration, or onsite at kiosks and screening rooms. * **Ensure every induction is secure and valid.** Facial or phone verification confirms identity, with no video skipping, version control, and automated expiry. * **Stay audit-ready at all times.** All completions feed into a central log, giving managers team oversight, department tracking, and instant exports. ### Asset declaration * **Remember assets for next time.** Assets are saved to each visitor's or employee's profile for declaration on future visits. * **Monitor in and out.** Security can track assets arriving and leaving with the Kenai Guardian App. * **Collect accurate evidence.** Take asset photos, record notes, and verify IDs with the Kenai Guardian App. ## How does Kenai work with Gallagher? * **Provision access before arrival.** Automatically create cardholders and assign access groups for your visitors. * **Choose from a variety of credentials.** Issue visitors Gallagher Mobile credentials ahead of time, link a card onsite, or use a facial biometric. * **Synchronise events.** Onsite access events create Kenai logs for accurate monitoring of who is onsite. * **Disable access.** Trigger access changes on events, such as an expired induction status on Kenai. ## See the difference with Kenai * Improve onsite check-in speed and process efficiency. * Enhance your brand image and site experience. * Speed up and improve audit reporting. * Remove compliance risk with configurable process control. * Keep everyone informed with automated notifications. * Gain real-time visibility. ## Where to go next {% content-ref url="/pages/YbPSgCRR4DXP11k0KSoI" %} [Create an invite](/command-centre/visitor-management-powered-by-kenai/visitor-management/invites/inviting-visitors.md) {% endcontent-ref %} --- # Agent Instructions This documentation is published with GitBook.
