Companies already running their gates on VizPass
VizPass gives apparel export factories access control and visitor management on one gate record: photo and ID capture for buyer QA teams, auditors, contractors and couriers, WhatsApp host approval, QR passes, returnable gate passes for job-work material sent to embroidery, printing and washing units, and a live on-site list for roll call. It runs on a guard's phone or any Android tablet, with no hardware to buy, plans from ₹1,499/month and a 7-day free trial.
Four Steps, Under a Minute per Visitor
A buyer's QA team arriving for a final inspection, an auditor asking for last quarter's contractor log, and a tempo leaving with 3,000 cut panels for an embroidery unit — often within the same hour, through the same gate. In most garment export units that gate still runs on a paper register and a book of handwritten challans. VizPass puts all of it on one gate record that runs on a tablet or the guard's own phone.
What Actually Happens at an Apparel Export Factory Gate
The visitor's photo and ID are captured at the gate, the host approves on WhatsApp before anyone passes the barrier, and a printed QR pass closes the record when it is scanned at exit. A pass with no exit scan stays open on the log instead of disappearing.
- Expected visitors are pre-registered, so a buyer's team walks straight in.
- Walk-ins scan a QR code at the gate and fill in their own details.
- Contractors are checked against the validity on file, so a lapsed contract shows up at the gate, not in the next audit.
Six Kinds of Traffic, One Gate Record
Each gets the check it needs — and all of it lands in the same searchable log.

Job-Work Material Without the Guesswork
Out on a Returnable Pass
Stores raise an RGP with item lines, quantity, value, the job worker and a due date. The gate lets it out on the QR.
Back in Parts, Each Logged
Every return gets its own RTN number — 1,800 panels on Tuesday, 1,150 on Friday — and the pass stays partially returned until the balance is in.
Chased When Overdue
Reminders before the due date, repeating overdue alerts after it, and any extension recorded against the pass.
Material That Leaves Is Always on the Log
Non-Returnable Passes
Rejects, cutting waste, scrap or sold surplus go out on an NRGP, so they still appear on the gate log.
Approval Before It Leaves
Out-passes can be routed for approval first, so the guard never decides whether a carton of trims leaves the premises.

Paper Register vs VizPass at an Export Factory Gate
| What matters | Paper register | AVizPass |
|---|---|---|
| An auditor asks for last quarter's visitor log | Pages photocopied; entries missing or unreadable | Filter by date — every entry with photo, host and time |
| Cut panels out for embroidery | A challan book; partial returns tracked from memory | One RGP per lot, each return its own RTN, overdue alerts |
| A contractor whose agency contract lapsed | Walks in if the guard knows his face | Validity checked at entry and flagged |
| Fire drill or evacuation | Monday's register, not who is inside now | Live list of visitors and contractors inside, ticked off as safe |
| Visitor consent under the DPDP Rules | Not captured | Privacy notice shown, consent recorded on every pass |
| Cost | Register books and guard time | From ₹1,499/month, no hardware to buy |
A register still works for a single small unit with no job work. Once buyers audit you and material leaves for job work every day, the gap between what was written and what happened is where shortages and audit findings come from.
Buyer Audits and Social Compliance Visits
Buyer code-of-conduct audits and programmes such as WRAP, SMETA or amfori BSCI routinely ask how visitors and contractors are controlled, who was on site on a given day, and how everyone would be accounted for in an evacuation. VizPass gives you the evidence — logs with photos, approvals, timestamps and the consent on each pass — for any date range. It does not certify a factory; passing an audit depends on far more than the gate.
One Account, Several Units, One Policy
A head office in Noida, a stitching unit in Faridabad and a finishing unit in Tiruppur run on one account. Each unit keeps its own gates, hosts and approval rules; the register, the privacy notice standard and the roll call stay common. See how businesses combine sites on use cases.
Safety and Data Protection, Not as an Afterthought
Entry and exit are logged live, so the list of visitors and contractors inside is the real one — the roll-call baseline for a drill or an actual evacuation. Statutory expectations on factory safety are set out by DGFASLI. Every visitor sees your privacy notice and gives consent before their photo and ID are captured, as the DPDP Rules 2025 require (compliance deadline 13 May 2027; MeitY publishes the framework).
Four Rollout Mistakes to Avoid
Going Live in Shipment Week
Start one gate in a normal week and run it beside the register and challan book for seven days.
Hosts Not Briefed
If merchandisers do not expect the WhatsApp request, the first approvals get ignored.
English-Only Signs
Put the privacy notice and gate instructions in Hindi, Tamil, Punjabi or whatever your gate speaks.
Shift Change at the Visitor Desk
Hundreds of workers at 9 am should not queue behind a buyer. The gate tablet is for visitors, contractors, material and out-passes.
What VizPass Does Not Claim
- It is software: no turnstiles, boom barriers, door controllers or biometric readers. It controls access by deciding who gets a pass and recording every entry and exit.
- It does not certify compliance with any buyer code or audit standard.
- It is not a production, inventory or ERP system — the RGP tracks material across the gate, not WIP on the line.
- In-person demos cover Noida, Greater Noida, Ghaziabad, Delhi, Gurugram and Faridabad; everywhere else the demo and go-live run on a video call. References from comparable factories are shared in a demo, not published here.

Access Control and Visitor Management for Apparel Export Factories FAQs
What Does Access Control Mean for an Apparel Export Factory Without Turnstiles?
At most garment units, access control happens at the gate rather than at a door reader: deciding who is allowed in, recording when they enter and leave, and making sure material only goes out on an approved pass. VizPass does this with photo and ID capture, WhatsApp host approval, QR passes and returnable or non-returnable gate passes, on a tablet or a phone. It does not supply or control turnstiles or door locks.
How Does VizPass Track Cut Panels Sent Out for Embroidery, Printing or Washing?
Each outward lot goes on a returnable gate pass (RGP) with item lines, quantity, value, the job worker and the expected return date. Every return taken in gets its own RTN number, so partial returns are recorded against the same pass, which stays partially returned until the balance comes back. Reminders go out before the due date and overdue alerts repeat after it.
Can VizPass Records Be Used During WRAP, SMETA or Amfori BSCI Audits?
Visitor, contractor and material records — with photos, approvals, timestamps and the consent captured on each pass — can be pulled up for any date range when an auditor asks how access is controlled. VizPass does not certify compliance with any standard or buyer code; it gives you a dated record to show.
How Are Buyer QA Teams and Third-Party Inspectors Handled at the Gate?
The merchandiser pre-registers the visiting team so their passes are ready when they arrive, and the host is notified on WhatsApp at check-in. Their entry, exit and the person who approved them stay on the log, which also answers later questions about who was on the floor during an inspection.
Does It Work for an Exporter with Units in Different Cities?
Yes. One account covers every unit, each with its own gates, hosts and approval rules, while the register, the privacy notice standard and the roll-call view are shared. On-site support is available in Noida, Greater Noida, Ghaziabad, Delhi, Gurugram and Faridabad; elsewhere, setup and support run over video call.
Will the Factory Gate Slow Down at Shift Change?
The gate flow is for visitors, contractors, material and staff out-passes, not for hundreds of workers clocking in, so a shift change does not queue behind a buyer's check-in. A visitor check-in takes under a minute.
How Is Visitor Photo and ID Data Handled Under India's DPDP Rules?
Every visitor sees your company's privacy notice and gives consent before their photo and ID are captured, and the consent is recorded against each pass. The DPDP Rules 2025 have a compliance deadline of 13 May 2027, and the framework is published by MeitY.
What Does It Cost for a Garment Factory, and Is There a Free Trial?
Plans are a flat monthly price with no per-user charges: ₹1,499 Single Gate, ₹4,999 Basic, ₹9,999 Front Desk and ₹14,999 Gate Control, each with a 7-day free trial. No hardware purchase is needed — any Android tablet or the guard's phone works.
