Visitu
Tampa, Florida, United States
What it is
Visitu is a school operations platform covering visitor management, emergency alerts, school messaging and student attendance. Its visitor system collects guest information, scans IDs, captures photos, prints badges and checks visitor details against offender databases. Schools can offer pre-registration and kiosk check-in, while staff can monitor arrivals through a real-time dashboard, watch lists, visitor logs and reports. Designated employees can receive arrival notifications by email, SMS or push notification. Attendance tools record absences, tardies and dismissals; parents can report attendance themselves, and data can be written into a school’s SIS. Listed integrations include PowerSchool, Blackbaud, ProgressBook, FACTS, Clever Secure Sync and Veracross. Visitu is available on Android, iOS and the web, but its kiosk iOS app runs only on Apple iPad tablets. Printing adhesive paper badges requires a Brother QL-820 NWBC printer. Visitu identifies itself as a Pikmykid brand and says it complies with FERPA. Its privacy policy says student data is used only to provide services for an organization and is not sold to third parties. Pricing is available on request.
