Has anyone set up a portal for a visitor / contractor / vendor portal to log visits?

I’m setting up a work order request portal to see if I can get my contractors/visitors to use in place of a log book/guest desk check in routine.

Our factory does not have a main reception desk that is ever manned, however, we need to know how many people are in the factory other than our time card workers for evacuation and safety purposes.

The front door is either “Buzzed in” or if we know someone is going to arrive we go out to meet them… but we have no log in desk.

We also have a policy that contractor insurance is checked for being current before work begins on their visits.

I'm building a custom work order request  portal with instructions for the vendors as a work around and putting instructions for our safety and insurance policy validation in it, printing up giant QR codes on a sign that “mandates” they check in for “self service” check ins/check outs at our service entrances where contractors sneak in.  That way our guys on camera merely need to buzz them in and I’ve got a sort of log to view from the work request generated.

Granted, it is not completely custom label friendly when setting up this sort of workaround portal, but it seems like it may be a way to track my odd hour electricians, paint crews, etc.

Anyone try something like that and have you had any success? or any better work around adaptation for the system for visitor logging?

Granted, this relies a bit on the honor system that contractors will log in and out, but as it is i’ve got no dedicated person for a front desk, just guys in the center of the building on camera and buzzer who are not security guys and are busy with other things.
