Q.  Can we have more than 1 "receptionist" ?  Sure!   Optimally you'll want to have no more than 2 or 3 individuals accessing the "Receptionist" or control program ... most individuals will be accessing their personal in/out screen that displays their name at the top automatically (it also has a summary screen much like the "Receptionist" main screen) as shown in our online demo!

Q.  Do you have a web based version ?  No!  Your employee info (and the program) stays on your network.  Nothing is shared on the internet.  Screens refresh automatically .. no internet browser time out issues.  No annoying logging in to change a status !

Web versions are more complicated to set up .. they require a different type of server.   If the vendor "hosts" your in/out board they will most likely charge monthly or annual fees.

Q.  Will 'Check-In Check-Out' run on a MAC?    The program will run on a MAC using MAC's "Parallels" software!  With "Parallels" you can run a wide variety of operating systems, including multiple versions of Windows—from 3.1 to 2000 to XP at very good speeds, and without ever rebooting your machine.
