VMS – Visitor Management System

Project Overview

  • VMS (Visitor Management System) is a modern, web-based application developed to digitize and control visitor entry processes for Gas Agencies and Refineries.
  • The system replaces manual visitor registers and offline approvals with a fully online, approval-driven workflow, ensuring security, compliance, and operational efficiency.
  • The application manages multiple visitor types, approval stages, and real-time status tracking through a centralized digital platform.

Problem Statement

  • Gas agencies and refineries handle different categories of visitors daily, which creates challenges such as:
  • Manual visitor entry and approval process
  • Security risks due to lack of tracking
  • Difficulty handling special visitor categories
  • No centralized status monitoring
  • Delays in approvals
  • Poor audit and compliance records
  • These issues demanded a secure, digital, and structured visitor management solution.

Objectives

  • The key objectives of VMS are:
  • Digitize the complete visitor approval workflow
  • Handle multiple visitor types with defined processes
  • Improve facility security
  • Enable real-time visitor status tracking
  • Maintain audit-ready records
  • Reduce manual paperwork

Visitor Types Supported

  • VMS supports five different types of visits, each with a defined approval process:
  • One-Day Visitor
  • Visitor with Laptop / Electronic Devices
  • Vehicle Pass Visitor
  • Contractor Visit
  • Foreign National Visitor
  • Each visitor type follows customized rules, validations, and approval flows.

Approval Workflow

  • Visitor request is created
  • Request goes through defined approval levels
  • System updates real-time status
  • Entry is allowed only after approval
  • Visit is closed or expired automatically

Visitor Status Lifecycle

  • Each visitor request passes through multiple system-defined statuses:
  • Initiated
  • Submitted
  • Pending
  • Rejected
  • Expired
  • Closed
  • This ensures complete transparency and traceability at every stage.
