About Proxyclick
Based in Brussels, Belgium, Proxyclick is a software company that was acquired by global workspace management company Condeco in January 2022.
Proxyclick’s product is a cloud-based visitor management platform that strives to improve security at commercial buildings and offices without compromising visitor privacy. The company serves customers worldwide, including those in commercial real estate, pharmaceuticals, government, education, and finance.
Proxyclick offers customization, visitor recognition, multiple languages, check-in solutions, and advanced security privacy and safety features. The product allows users to keep track of their visitors and build their brand image with the customizable screen feature.
How Proxyclick works
Proxyclick’s fully integrated system strives to reduce operational costs and streamline processes associated with visitor management to create a safe environment for visitors and employees.
Here’s how Proxyclick visitor management works:
- When visitors arrive, they are greeted by an easy-to-use touchless check-in kiosk. The system prints a badge with the visitor’s personal information and photo.
- Proxyclick then notifies the visitor’s host using multi-communication methods to ensure timely visitor reception and an excellent first impression.
- Users can easily manage visitor information by using the visitor dashboard feature. The system also offers a “Watch List” feature to ensure that unwelcome visitors are denied access. These features help employees provide a safe and smooth guest experience from entry to the end of the visit.
Additionally, Proxyclick offers an iOS mobile app that receives visitor notifications and connects with them for added convenience. As a SaaS product, the Proxyclick visitor management platform is available as a monthly subscription.

Should you get Proxyclick?
Proxyclick visitor management may be a good choice if you’re seeking to automate and streamline how your building accommodates visitors. The platform may help make welcoming guests simple for employees and give your visitors a pleasant experience.
Proxyclick also offers many integrations with other software and services. These integrations can help further streamline operations at your building.
However, Proxyclick is only an office visitor management solution and can’t be used in apartments or other multifamily communities. So, if you need an apartment visitor management platform, you’ll need a different solution — like ButterflyMX.

ButterflyMX for visitor management
ButterflyMX is a complete property access solution that doubles as a visitor management system for all kinds of properties, from commercial buildings to apartments to gated communities. It’s particularly effective for smaller buildings that don’t have a lobby, front desk, or doorman.
Installed at a property’s front entrance, the ButterflyMX smart video intercom serves as an all-in-one solution for visitor access. Planned visitors can use a virtual key — a dual QR and PIN code sent by a tenant in advance — to seamlessly gain property access without assistance from building staff. And visitors without a virtual key can easily request access by video calling a tenant or a staff member. ButterflyMX’s visitor management solution even simplifies deliveries and ensures seamless access for delivery carriers, too.
Thanks to the intercom’s video calling capabilities, tenants and staff can visually confirm a visitor’s identity and rest assured that only authorized people enter the property. And because the video intercom takes a photo of every entry event, staff and tenants can review a time- and date-stamped audit trail at any time.
Finally, ButterflyMX’s front desk station is the perfect complement to the video intercom. With specially designed software, your building’s front desk staff can easily vet visitors and manage access without a hitch.
Takeaways
Proxyclick may help keep your company safe and compliant while managing visitor traffic across multiple locations. It may be a good choice for commercial building owners and managers who want to streamline visitor entry and check-in processes to simultaneously improve security and convenience.
However, Proxyclick won’t be right for you if you need a visitor management system for a multifamily property. It’s also worth considering an alternative like ButterflyMX if you’d prefer to have an all-in-one access control and visitor management solution.
