Bringing the Front Desk Outdoors: Armodilo + Virtual Front Desk Partnership

Bringing the Front Desk Outdoors: Armodilo + Virtual Front Desk Partnership

In an age where convenience, security, and flexibility are more important than ever, businesses and public facilities are rethinking how they welcome guests. Whether it's a health clinic entrance, a municipal building, or a corporate campus, the ability to greet and screen visitors at the door—before they enter—is becoming standard.

That’s why we’re excited to announce a new hardware partnership with Virtual Front Desk—a leading remote reception and visitor management software platform. Together, we’ve developed a purpose-built outdoor kiosk bundle designed to bring secure, connected check-in functionality to any environment, no matter the weather.

Why Virtual Front Desk?

Virtual Front Desk offers a feature-rich, cloud-based solution that replaces or extends on-site reception services. Their platform supports:

  • Video and phone call routing
  • Badge printing and document sharing
  • MS Teams integration
  • Multilingual support
  • HIPAA & GDPR compliance
  • Full activity reporting and logging

With growing demand for unattended or semi-attended visitor check-in stations, especially in healthcare, government, and logistics sectors, Virtual Front Desk needed a hardware partner that could keep up with their platform’s flexibility and reliability outdoors.

The Hardware Challenge: Outdoors Isn’t Optional

Unlike indoor deployments, outdoor tablet kiosks face real-world challenges:

  • Weather fluctuations
  • Moisture intrusion
  • Heat buildup
  • Security tampering
  • Poor signal strength without Wi-Fi

To meet these challenges, Armodilo adapted our award-winning Wall Mount tablet enclosure into a weather-resistant, low-profile solution with advanced airflow, secure cable routing, and tamper-resistant features—all tuned for Samsung Galaxy Tab Active5, a rugged 8" tablet rated for tough environments.

What Makes This Partnership Work

The strength of this partnership lies in our shared belief: technology should simplify and elevate the visitor experience, not complicate it.
By combining Virtual Front Desk’s software with Armodilo’s industrial design and manufacturing expertise, we’ve created a system that’s:

  • Easy to deploy
  • Visually clean and professional
  • Tough enough for long-term outdoor use
  • Scalable across multiple locations
