Case Study: Bimbo Canada achieves streamlined visitor check-ins and cost savings with The Receptionist for iPad

Visitor management system dishes up sweet check-in experience for Bimbo Canada

Bimbo Canada, a manufacturer and distributor of breads and baked goods, struggled to manage the hundreds of visitors it welcomes each week across numerous offices after many locations stopped staffing full‑time receptionists. Caitlyn Bannister, Facilities and Leasing Coordinator, selected The Receptionist and deployed The Receptionist for iPad to provide a consistent, easy-to-manage check‑in point across sites.

The Receptionist for iPad was implemented to handle guest check‑ins/check‑outs, route deliveries and contractors via customized workflows, and display in French in francophone offices, with employees receiving immediate arrival notifications. The Receptionist delivered a cost‑saving, intuitive solution that now manages hundreds of weekly visitors, reduces the need for full‑time front‑desk staff, and simplifies remote setup and administration.
