ICONLOOP's VisitMe Electronic Guestbook Service Passes 100,000 Users
September 23, 2020, Seoul — ICONLOOP (CEO JH Kim), a leading Korean blockchain company, announced that its QR-based electronic register service, the VisitMe (www.visitme.app) electronic guestbook service, has passed 1,000 businesses signed up and 100,000 users just three months after launch.
The VisitMe electronic guestbook service is a QR-based electronic register that digitizes the visitor logs previously filled in by hand to trace the movements of confirmed cases. Visitors simply scan a QR code displayed at the premises to check in, so no separate equipment or staff is needed for scanning, and a QR code package is provided when a business signs up, greatly reducing the burden of adoption.
ICONLOOP is providing the VisitMe electronic guestbook service free of charge as part of efforts to prevent the spread of COVID-19, and three months on it is spreading rapidly, with users approaching 100,000 and more than 1,000 businesses having applied to adopt it. Well-known cafe and restaurant franchises in particular — among them Paul Bassett, Mom's Touch, Pizza Etang, and Oven e Bbajin Dak (Obbadak) — have rolled the VisitMe electronic guestbook service out across all of their outlets and are experiencing first-hand what sets it apart from other electronic guestbooks. Beyond that, a wide range of venues are actively using the service, including sports facilities such as Seoul World Cup Stadium, large hotels such as the Conrad and the Hilton, shared offices, churches, hospitals, and convenience stores.
The greatest strength of the VisitMe electronic guestbook service is that it can be used with options suited to the character of each venue. For cafes, restaurants, convenience stores, and other venues visited by an unspecified public, it offers a service that allows simple visit authentication by scanning the QR code and entering personal details, with no app installation required. For facilities such as churches, hospitals, and academies, where the same visitors come and go repeatedly, it offers a service in which visitor details entered in advance through the VisitMe app allow quick, convenient visit authentication with nothing more than the visitor's QR code scan, without additional verification steps.
Unlike a handwritten guestbook, the service uses each person's own mobile device, so there is no concern about personal information being exposed to other people signing in and no issue of sharing pens or other potential vectors of infection, while the digitized entry records make a fast and accurate response possible when a case is confirmed.
ICONLOOP recently unveiled a model that links a smart fever screening device to the VisitMe electronic guestbook service, delivering safe visit authentication management alongside precise mask-wearing checks and temperature measurement at the same time. With this integrated model, the visitor's temperature and mask-wearing status as measured by a top-specification fever screening device are entered automatically into the VisitMe electronic guestbook service.
Applications for free provision of the service can be made at the VisitMe electronic guestbook service site (www.visitme.app/guestbook).
