A version with additional functionality, including real-time visitor location monitoring and analytics, will be sold as Enhanced Visitor Management. The locating capability taps Centegix's location-aware network and mapping capabilities.

"Thousands of schools rely on our best-in-class CrisisAlert incident response solution to protect their staff and students. By joining forces with Ident-A-Kid, we can deliver a new, innovative visitor management solution for K–12 schools," said Brent Cobb, CEO of Centegix, in a prepared statement.
