The blue book records everyone and protects no one.
Walk into UCC, CAA, a bank or a multi-tenant office block and the routine is the same: hand over your ID, write your name, date, host, reason, time in and time out in a blue book, then collect a visitor card.
One check-in. Tailored per organisation.
Proposed by an engineer who has already built and run this kind of system at a data centre, now under Code::Core: a kiosk at the gate or reception scans the visitor's ID once, runs that organisation's own entry procedure, calls or messages the host, prints the badge, opens the turnstile and logs everything for reporting.
Configurable entry steps
Each organisation picks and orders its steps. In a multi-tenant building one kiosk serves every tenant — each keeps its own procedure and records. Visitors register once for the building, not three times.
The visitor journey, from gate to badge.
Kiosk runs full-screen at 1280×800 on a 15.6" panel PC. Example tenant: a regulator with induction video, quiz and host approval switched on. Sample photos: Etty Fidele and Logan Weaver on Unsplash; names and ID numbers are fictional.

The kiosk must keep checking people in when the internet or power drops. So the system is split: a central Django platform for configuration, records and reporting, and an edge agent on each kiosk that talks to hardware and queues work offline.
Two tiers: industrial for gates, tablet for receptions.
Models are suggestions to validate with Kampala suppliers for availability, warranty and support. Prices are rough UGX planning estimates.

Sell the roll call, not the kiosk.
Buyers don't wake up wanting a visitor system. They want to know who is in their building, prove it to auditors, and stop embarrassing queues at the gate.
Code::Core replaces the blue book with a check-in that knows who is in your building, follows your own security rules, and hands your visitor's ID straight back.
Proof points to collect in the pilot
Priced by visitors per day. Tax included.
One-off package prices in UGX, inclusive of 18% VAT. Each package is sized to the visitor volume it must handle and the features the organisation needs — up to buying the full system outright.

Milestones
VAT at 18% is shown separately in each package. Where the client is a designated withholding agent, 6% withholding tax is deducted at payment and credited to Code::Core with URA — it does not change the price. Confirm treatment with a tax adviser before quoting.
