Q1 What’s New 2026

VISIT Basic

Overview of all new features directly in the system

After an update, users will automatically receive a pop-up window with a compact overview of all new features in the current version. This allows you to see which functions have been added or improved right from the start—without having to search for them.

The new overview provides greater transparency, makes it easier to find your way around after updates, and helps you use new features more quickly in your everyday work.

Improved data protection through restricted hit display

To further strengthen the protection of personal data, it can be configured so that the visitor search for employees only displays results after a defined minimum number of characters have been entered.

Administrators can flexibly set this minimum number in the system. For users, this means that visitors who have already been created, for example, will only be visible after three characters have been entered. This prevents personal data from being displayed after just one or two characters.

This adjustment helps companies to design search functions that are GDPR-compliant, secure, and individually adapted to their own security requirements.

Flexible configuration of content within elements in the new cockpit

The new cockpit and cockpit card configuration give administrators more control over how content is displayed. Element content can now be configured individually so that only the information and icons that are really needed are displayed.

The result is a clearer cockpit, reduced complexity for users, and an interface that can be optimally adapted to different roles and their requirements.

VISIT Secure

Notification before access bans expire

To make it easier to manage access bans, the system can now automatically notify users before an access ban expires. The notification is sent to a configurable email address or a defined group.

This allows sufficient time to extend or delete an access ban if necessary. This ensures greater transparency, less manual effort, and reliable control of security-related settings.

Reasons for access bans now selectable

When creating an access ban, predefined reasons can now be selected from a drop-down menu. These standard reasons can be individually configured by administrators.

This simplifies data entry, ensures consistent reasoning, and improves the evaluability of access bans in the system.

VISIT Self-Service

New on-screen keyboard for self-registration

A new, optimized on-screen keyboard is now available for self-registration. The redesigned keyboard is more clearly structured and makes touch input easier.

The new keyboard ensures more convenient, intuitive use and reduces input errors during self-registration.

Quick start for self-registration with PIN or QR code

Self-registration can now be used even more efficiently. After selecting their language, visitors can now be asked directly whether they have a PIN or QR code. After entering or scanning the access code, they are immediately taken to the corresponding visit.

This eliminates the need to select the organizational unit and search for the correct entry point. The result: faster registration, fewer clicks, and a much more intuitive process for visitors.

New entry point “Access via customizable field” for visitor self-registration

Self-registration is now even more flexible: Visitors will now also be able to register via an customizable field (visitor/visitor on a visit) if they do not have their QR code to hand.

This provides an additional option for quickly finding the right visit – even if the QR code has been forgotten.

This enhancement ensures greater flexibility, reduces waiting times, and makes self-registration even more user-friendly.

New entry point “Access via identification medium” for self-registration

Self-registration now offers convenient access via identification medium. Visitors and truck drivers can quickly and easily identify themselves with their passport.

The data read is used to automatically search for the corresponding visit. If there is a clear match, self-registration can continue immediately. This speeds up the check-in process, reduces input errors, and ensures reliable assignment of visitor data. This is particularly advantageous for tradespeople and truck drivers, as they often do not have a business email address to which a QR code can be sent.

Face matching to verify identity

To verify identity during self-registration, a comparison of the visitor’s photo with an ID document can now be carried out. Only if the camera image matches the ID photo will the registration process continue successfully.

This ensures that self-registration is only carried out by the authorized person. This additional check helps to further increase security for visitors and the location.

Kiosk system URL now available as QR code

The URL of a kiosk system can now be displayed as a QR code. When configuring and setting up kiosk systems, administrators can conveniently scan the QR code with a tablet without having to enter the URL manually. This saves time, minimizes input errors, and facilitates access, especially during the configuration and testing phase.

VISIT Connect

Multiple external access control systems per location

Over the years, many companies have developed a heterogeneous system landscape – especially in the area of access control. Different buildings, extensions, or security requirements mean that multiple external access control systems are used in parallel at a single location. Administrators in VISIT can now create multiple external access control systems for a single location. Visitors will continue to receive only one ID card per visit. The expansion contributes to more efficient support for demanding security environments.

Automated provisioning: SCIM is supported

With SCIM (System for Cross-domain Identity Management), users and employees can be synchronized automatically via connected identity providers. Microsoft Entra ID allows user accounts to be managed centrally and created, updated, or deactivated automatically. Changes in the identity provider are transferred directly to VISIT, ensuring that user management is always up to date. This significantly reduces manual administration, increases security through consistent access control, and enables efficient user lifecycle management—from onboarding to offboarding.
