Most “visitor management” software is built for offices. Housing societies have maids at 7am, Swiggy at 8pm, and a guard who will abandon your app if it is slower than a notebook.
Product tests, not feature PDFs
Cheap Android phone. Timed walk-in. Recurring staff. Material pass. Export. If the vendor cannot do those on a call, leave.
Do not ignore the books
You can buy a VMS-only tool if dues are truly solved. Many Indian RWAs are lying to themselves. DGate includes operational dues in the same plan so you are not syncing two registers.
Common questions
Office VMS vs society VMS?
Different. Recurring domestic staff and delivery fast lanes are the tell.
Is DGate VMS-only?
No. Society OS. /features.
Cost?
/pricing. 1 month free.
Photos stored?
Walk-in photos are part of the record; ask about retention in the demo.
