Do I need any special equipment to use Wavin?

No. Any mobile phone or device that is internet enabled can be used to access Wavin to check-in patron’s details.

What customer details should be entered when checking-in?

Per government guidelines, customers should be checked in with their full name, phone number, email address, date and time stamped. Wavin does all of this for you automatically. It is also possible to customise Wavin to collect answers to specific questions. Please contact us for more details regarding this feature. Each state’s requirements are different, please check your state government’s COVID safe contact tracing requirements.

Can I use Wavin for more than one venue?

Yes! If you have multiple premises we will provide you with a different Wavin sensor for each location. For enterprise level systems requiring 10 or more please contact us to discuss.

Can I have multiple Wavin sensors at one location?

Yes, you may have several areas or rooms that all have a sensor at the entrances. Each sensor can be programmed for that area for reporting purposes.

Is there a limit to how many people can Wavin on a sensor?

No. Wavin has been designed so you have unlimited Wavins. There are no additional costs. We do not penalise you for having more guests or patrons.

Is there a limit on how many sensors I can have at one premise?

No, Wavin is designed to work at all types of venues, big and small. For enterprise customers, please contact us to discuss your requirements.

Does Wavin use location services (GPS) to track customers?

No, Wavin does not use any location services or GPS. Whenever you wave your phone over a Wavin sensor, the sensor triggers an automated check in and records only the date and time you entered those premises. We do not track anyone at any time.

Want to Wavin with an older iPhone? It’s easy.

What if a customer doesn’t have a mobile phone on them?

If a customer doesn’t have a mobile phone or any internet enabled device on them, they can be registered-in on their friend’s phone as an additional guest. Also staff members can manually register guests on any device that has a browser and is connected to the internet.

What if a customer has an old phone with no NFC ability?

Most phones since 2017 have NFC capability built-in and nothing needs to be switched on or activated to use it. By just waving your phone near a sensor it will activate a pop up on your phone.

if your phone is very old and does not have NFC capability, no problem. All of our Sensor Counter Cards have a QR code, as well as a web link that can be entered as back up.

All popular Android and IOS devices have the ability to scan a QR code. This is done in three easy steps:

1. Open Camera
2. Show QR code to camera
3. Click on URL pop-up

If you do not have QR code available, no problem. Simply enter the URL code and begin your check in. And if you don’t have a phone with you, a staff member or a friend with a phone can Wavin for you.

What if one person wants to check-in all customers at an entrance to the premises or at a table?

It is easy to enter extra people. Simply add extra people in your success page once you have waved in. Wavin also remembers your extra guests for future Wavins. So if you’re with the kids each time you do not have to re-enter them, making it quicker and easier.

Does a customer need to put in their details every time they use Wavin?

No, one of the huge benefits of Wavin is that it is the easiest and most convenient solution on the market for patrons to use. With Wavin, you only have to enter your details the very first time. Then you can simply Wavin wherever you see the Wavin logo 👋

Can I use Wavin as a Health and Safety Check in System?

Yes. St John Ambulance is a user and partner of Wavin and they are using it to ensure patrons entering certain businesses and events are healthy. Customised questions can be added for enterprise clients.

What if a customer puts in false information?

Wavin has a phone number verification system to ensure information is correct.

How can staff be sure if customers have checked-in?

Staff can check their Wavin business portal at any time to see live updates as to who have waved into their location. Staff can ask to see the success page on a customer’s phone on entry if they wish.

Can Staff and Suppliers use it?

Yes it’s designed for everyone entering your premises to use. You should make it mandatory that all staff, suppliers and patrons use it.

What does Wavin cost?

Wavin has been designed to be very affordable. At only A$30 to set up per sensor and a flat rate of A$24 per month subscription, it makes sense.
