As organizations continue to modernize their security infrastructure, visitor management has become a critical component of a comprehensive security strategy. Ensuring that every person entering your facility is accounted for helps foster a safer and more efficient environment.
That’s why ProdataKey (PDK) is proud to partner with LobbyTECH, a cloud-based visitor management platform. The integration between PDK and LobbyTECH offers a unified solution that simplifies how people enter and move through your building, while maintaining the highest standards of accountability and control.
LobbyTECH: Cloud-Based Visitor Management
With LobbyTECH, visitor management becomes entirely digital. “You’d be shocked by how many people today still use a pen and paper to track their visitors,” says Jeff Porter, creator of LobbyTECH. “It’s 2025, visitor check-in should be more modern than that!”
Rather than relying on manual check-in processes, LobbyTECH offers a cloud-based solution that allows for streamlined check-in without the hassle of extensive physical visitor logs. With their smart entry compliance systems, visitors can easily check in and input any information required of them, such as ID numbers, vaccination status, or the name of the person they are visiting.
“We have a variety of screens of different sizes depending on what you like–desktop, floor standing, and so on. We also have all sorts of accessories to go along with the screens,” Jeff explains. With touch screens ranging from 10.1 to 21.5 inches in size, users can pick the physical check-in solution that makes the most sense for their space. And for businesses that require more detailed visitor monitoring, LobbyTECH makes it easy to integrate technologies like temperature and motion sensors.
Integrating Access Control and Visitor Management
By combining LobbyTECH’s visitor management with PDK’s cloud-based access control, organizations gain a comprehensive view of who’s coming and going.
“The API integration between our two systems is amazing–it magically syncs up. When you add a new person in PDK, it automatically shows up in LobbyTECH. Whatever you do in PDK gets reflected in LobbyTECH, and whatever you do in LobbyTECH gets reflected in PDK.”

With these integrated systems, it’s also easy to pre-approve visitors. “You can send an invite to a visitor, saying they will arrive at a certain location at a certain time. Then they can fill out any required questions, and they will receive a QR code to scan at the kiosk when they arrive.” Once the pre-authorized visitor arrives and scans their code at the kiosk, LobbyTECH can automatically communicate to PDK that they should be granted entry.
The seamless integration between the two systems not only lays the groundwork for secure and hassle-free visitor entry, but it allows for enhanced accountability in data reporting. “If you need to find out the last time an individual was in the building, I can do that easily and quickly–no need to search manually through paper logs. So LobbyTECH and PDK really create full accountability for all your visitors and your employees.”
PDK and LobbyTECH: A Multi-Industry Solution
Together, PDK and LobbyTECH provide a security solution suited for various industries, such as multifamily housing and commercial real estate. In these spaces, PDK and LobbyTECH make it easy to guarantee that only approved visitors can enter the premises–from visiting family members and friends to food and package delivery personnel.
Another industry that Jeff highlights is healthcare: “Medical facilities really want to track who’s in the building carefully. And often, they do want to keep track of temperatures and other important pieces of health screening information.” With the ability to customize LobbyTECH’s screens with advanced health screening, medical offices are empowered to implement a visitor management solution that protects vulnerable patients and essential workers from both security and health-related threats.
A Seamless and Smarter Front Desk Experience
The integration between PDK and LobbyTECH exemplifies what modern building management should look like: smart, efficient, and secure. By combining industry-leading access control with intuitive visitor management, organizations can ensure that everyone entering their space is approved and accounted for. And with user-friendly cloud-based solutions, this integration allows buildings to enhance their security without complicating workflows.
