Farms & agriculture

Know who is on your property, wherever you are

Give visitors, contractors and delivery drivers a simple QR code sign-in, with GPS location records and instant SMS alerts when they arrive.

Managing visitors across large rural properties is a unique challenge

Farms and agricultural properties are spread over vast areas with multiple entry points - farm gates, machinery sheds, packing sheds, orchards, and more. You're rarely at the front gate when contractors or delivery drivers arrive, and a paper sign-in sheet isn't practical when visitors could be arriving kilometres away.

ScanIn gives each entry point its own QR code. When a visitor scans in, their GPS coordinates are captured, and you get an instant SMS - so you always know who arrived, exactly where, and when.

Built for the Realities of Rural Properties

Features that make sense for farms, stations, orchards, and agricultural operations

GPS Location at Check-In

When a visitor signs in, their GPS coordinates are recorded alongside their details. Set GPS-mapped evacuation and assembly points so every visitor knows where to go in an emergency - critical on large properties where distances matter.

  • GPS coordinates captured at sign-in
  • Evacuation assembly points mapped by GPS
  • Supports multiple entry points across the property
  • Visitors see evacuation location at sign-in

Instant SMS When Visitors Arrive

The moment a contractor, agronomist, delivery driver, or inspector signs in, you get an SMS on your mobile with their name and details. No need to be near a computer or office - the alert comes straight to your phone.

  • SMS sent instantly on each sign-in
  • Visitor name included in the message
  • Works wherever you have mobile reception
  • Available on Standard plans

Multiple Entry Points

Large properties often have several entry gates or access points. Set up a separate QR code for each one - front gate, machinery shed, packing shed, orchard entrance - each with its own settings and location tag.

  • Unlimited QR code locations per account
  • Each entry point labelled separately
  • Know exactly which gate was used
  • Centralised dashboard across all entries

Custom Visitor Questions

Capture the information that matters on your property - vehicle registration, purpose of visit, company name, biosecurity declaration, or any other detail relevant to your operation.

  • Biosecurity declaration acknowledgement
  • Vehicle type and registration
  • Purpose of visit and company
  • Any custom questions you require

Faster Return Visits

Regular contractors - agronomists, shearers, vets, machinery technicians - are remembered by ScanIn. On their next visit, their details are pre-filled so sign-in is even quicker.

  • Details pre-filled for returning visitors
  • No re-entering name or contact details
  • Faster sign-in on every return visit
  • Works across all your entry points

Emergency Mustering & Alerts

In an emergency - fire, chemical incident, injury - you can instantly send SMS and email alerts to everyone currently on the property and know exactly who needs to be accounted for.

  • Instant mass SMS to all on-property visitors
  • Real-time visitor list for emergency services
  • GPS assembly point shown at every sign-in
  • Digital roll call for accountability

How It Works on Your Property

Simple to set up, simple for visitors to use - even in remote locations

1

Set Up Each Entry Point

Create a location in ScanIn for each gate or access point on your property. Add GPS evacuation coordinates, your custom questions, and download the QR code. Each entry gets its own unique code.

  • Name each entry (e.g. "Front Gate", "Machinery Shed")
  • Set GPS assembly point for each area
  • Configure biosecurity or other questions
  • Print and weatherproof the QR code
2

Post QR Codes at Each Entry

Fix the laminated QR code to the gate post, shed wall, or entry sign. Visitors arriving at any point on the property can scan and sign in immediately - no office visit required.

  • Weatherproof laminated QR codes
  • Fixed to gate post, fence, or shed
  • Visible on arrival without entering property
  • Works with standard mobile data connection
3

You Get an SMS, They're Logged

The moment the visitor signs in, you receive an SMS with their name and the entry point they used. Their GPS-tagged record is saved to your dashboard - accessible from anywhere, at any time.

  • Instant SMS to your mobile
  • Entry point and time recorded
  • Full visitor log on your dashboard
  • Export records for insurance or compliance
