Groovian is a paperless guest management and package handling solution for college and university residence halls. The web-based app and tablet-driven kiosk solution is ideally suited for residence hall front desks in an effort to eliminate paper visitor and package logs and complement established facility safeguards. The Groovian solution allows your residents to initiate front desk service transactions via a tablet kiosk situated at your lobby desk or from their browser enabled mobile devices. These requests will then appear in a queue for closer review by front desk staff.
