Proof of purpose
A badge says someone was here. Genie Bazaar proves why: the job, the vendor, the documents, and the outcome.
Genie Bazaar vs Envoy vs Eptura Visitor
Your visitor system knows who arrived.
Does it know why?
Every visitor tool can greet a guest. Genie Bazaar also checks every contractor against a live job, sends the work report back to the ticket, and runs on the same platform as your procurement, assets, and maintenance.
The quick answer
Envoy and Eptura Visitor are built to run the front desk. Genie Bazaar runs the front desk and proves the purpose of every visit. Contractors are verified against real work orders, AMC visits, and RFQs. Their work comes back to the job, and their time on site is recorded. One platform. No per-device fees.
Side by side
The front desk is table stakes. The difference starts when a contractor walks in.

A Tuesday morning with Genie Bazaar
A technician walks into your lobby at 9:02.
08:15
The job is assigned
Facilities assigns an HVAC service to your AMC vendor. The technician gets a gate pass on WhatsApp. Nobody emails reception.
09:02
He walks in
One QR scan checks everything: right company, open job, today’s window, valid documents, induction done. Reception sees the reason, not just a name.
09:03
The right person knows
The facilities manager gets a card on WhatsApp or Teams: technician on site for WO-1042.
11:40
The work comes back
Photos and the work report attach to the work order. No chasing PDFs. No “did they actually come?”
11:45
He leaves. The record stays.
Time on site is logged against the AMC visit. If the alarm had sounded, he was on the roll call with his floor plan.
Can your current visitor system do all of that?
- Knew which job he came for?
- Checked his documents before entry?
- Put the work report on the ticket?
- Logged his hours against the contract?
If not, let’s talk. We will show you the same morning running on your sites.

One platform, not another silo
Visitors share the same people, properties, and vendors as your procurement, assets, and maintenance. Nothing to sync.
Works where people already are
WhatsApp, Slack, and Teams for hosts. Any phone or tablet at the door. Unlimited devices on paid plans.
Questions about switching
Can we switch from Envoy or Eptura without disrupting reception?
Yes. We set up your sites, hosts, check-in flows, and agreements with you, then run on the tablets and phones you already own. Your front desk keeps welcoming guests while you gain contractor verification behind the scenes.
How does Genie Bazaar verify a contractor?
Every contractor pass is tied to a real ticket, work order, AMC visit, or RFQ. At the gate, Genie Bazaar checks the company, the job, the visit window, required vendor documents, and site induction before entry.
Do I need other Genie Bazaar modules?
No. Visitor Management works on its own for guests, deliveries, and contractors. Add Facilities, Workplace, or Procurement whenever you are ready and visits connect to jobs, rooms, and vendors automatically.
What hardware do we need?
Any phone, tablet, or computer with a browser. Guests can check in on their own phone with a QR pass. Add a badge printer if you want printed badges. Paid plans include unlimited devices.
Is visitor data secure?
Visitor personal data is encrypted. Consent and retention rules run per site, privacy packs support GDPR and other local laws, and Enterprise adds SSO and directory sync.
Can we start with one office?
Yes. Start with one site for free and add sites as you grow. Paid plans are priced per active site, not per kiosk.
Stop logging visitors. Start knowing why they are there.
Start with one site. See the difference on the first contractor visit.
