Can you use the Bringme Desk without the Bringme app?

🔎Introduction

The Bringme Desk is designed to streamline visitor management, making it easy for hosts to receive and welcome their guests. The Bringme app plays a central role in this process by sending real-time notifications, allowing hosts to confirm their arrival, and ensuring a smooth check-out.

While visitors can sign in at the Bringme Desk without needing an app, hosts rely on the Bringme app for an optimal experience. But what if a host encounters difficulties using the app or prefers an alternative?

📃Answer

The Bringme system is designed to function optimally with the Bringme app. The app provides the best user experience and maximum convenience for receiving visitor notifications, informing them that you are on your way, and signing them out.

If using the app is not possible, some alternatives are available:

• Web app: Notifications will appear in the feed, but no push notifications will be sent to your device.
• Email notifications: If enabled, an email will be sent when a visitor signs in. However, you cannot use this method to inform the visitor that you are on your way or to sign them out. This means the evacuation list in the Bringme Manager will not be updated, which could conflict with your company’s safety policies.

In short, while alternatives exist, they come with limitations. The Bringme app remains the best way to ensure a seamless experience and full system functionality.
