Novara has released a new visitor management module for its Flex Contractor Risk Management platform. This update enables facility managers to automate contractor check-ins while verifying safety training and approval status at the point of entry.
Why it matters
Traditional paper sign-in sheets often fail to confirm whether an individual is authorized for site access or possesses the required safety certifications. By digitizing this process, operators can ensure compliance and maintain accurate headcount reporting in real time.
The new software automatically flags any individual remaining on-site for more than 12 hours. This system replaces manual paper sign-in sheets and badge protocols to provide real-time headcount data across construction, manufacturing, and utility sites.
The players
Novara
A provider of contractor risk management software designed to automate site safety compliance and auditing.
The details
The module integrates with existing contractor qualification and training records stored in the Flex platform to gate site access. Check-in and check-out processes are performed via web or mobile applications, which update the total site headcount automatically. For audit and reporting purposes, site managers can export all visitor activity data directly into CSV files.

Market Landscape
This release follows the broader industry shift toward digital contractor risk management platforms that replace manual sign-in processes. By integrating access control with safety qualification records, the module aligns with modern requirements for site liability and safety transparency.
Operators managing high-risk sites should evaluate whether their current sign-in methods adequately capture safety training status. Automating check-in via mobile or web portals can reduce manual audit time and ensure that only qualified personnel are granted access to the site.
The takeaway
Digital visitor management moves safety verification to the site entrance to prevent unauthorized access. Operators should prepare for audits by tracking site duration logs and ensuring contractor training data is current within their primary risk management software.
