Why Use Wavin™️?
Governments have made it mandatory to collect guest/patron contact details on entry to many businesses for the purposes of contact tracing to beat the COVID-19 virus. There are many industries that must use a guest registry system. There are also many industries who are choosing to use a guest registry system to keep their staff and customers safe.
Wavin have developed and patented new technology, in Melbourne, enabling many benefits and advantages over other systems:
Using the Wavin system will allow Australia to reopen quicker and stay open when there are future outbreaks. This is because the Wavin system will establish a national contact tracing system that can provide the required information immediately.
No. Any mobile phone or device that is internet enabled can be used to access Wavin to check-in patron’s details.
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.

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.
Wavin works on all NFC-enabled devices. Find out how with this simple tip:
Tap here to use Wavin on older iPhonesIf 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.
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:
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.
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.
