Front-Desk Chain of Custody

Eliminate the 'Unknowns'. When 30 days later someone asks “who signed for this?”, you have the answer in seconds—not days.

The Executive Problem

The "Unknowns" Create Liability

Front desks are high-throughput and high-risk. After 30 days—or just one vacation handoff—nobody can reliably answer who received a device, who issued a key card, or who signed a safety briefing. That “unknown” turns small events into large investigations.

Real Canadian Incidents

When Handoff Accountability Fails

Stolen Laptop Exposure

Alberta’s privacy office found Medicentres failed to protect info after a stolen laptop exposed ~621,000 patients. The key failure? Delayed reporting and lack of visible custody controls.

Marketing tie-in: This is the “front-desk chain-of-custody gap” (who had it last?) that drives months of remediation.

Unencrypted Device Loss

The federal Privacy Commissioner investigated the RCMP after a USB loss was "not reported in a timely manner," causing massive notification delays and regulatory penalties.

Marketing tie-in: When “handoff accountability” fails, response timelines slip—exactly what insurers penalize.

The Solution

What MapleOffice Logs

A timestamped, handoff-ready record for every operational event.

Calls & Screening
Log caller identity, reason, escalation path, and outcome. Link interactions to specific departments or staff members.
Parcels & Assets
Track received/sent items, courier details, and item type (laptop, keys). Record exactly who authorized or received the item.
Access Artifacts
Log badges, keys, or entry codes issued and returned. Link every asset to a specific visitor and vehicle.
Operational Tasks
"Did/Didn't do" logs for courier pickups, visitor escorts, and facility checks. Prove operational compliance.
NDA & Safety
Digital NDA acceptance and safety briefing acknowledgements, inextricably linked to the visitor record.

Handoff-Ready By Design

The Operational Workflow

01. Capture

Point of Truth

Every call, parcel, or access event is logged in seconds. No sticky notes, no memory reliance.

02. Link

Auto-Association

Receptionist entries automatically connect to visitor records, vehicle details, and host notifications.

03. Handoff

Shift Coverage

New staff open the "Handoff View" to see pending items: unreturned cards, outstanding tasks, and expected guests.

04. Retrieve

30-Day Search

When questions arise weeks later, pull the exact event record (who/what/when) instead of hallway investigations.

The "Incident Response Pack"

When security, insurance, or legal asks for evidence, you don't scramble. You export a time-bounded packet that directly reduces "unknowns" and compresses investigation cycles.

  • Call & Parcel Chain-of-Custody
  • Access Card Issuance/Return Trail
  • Visitor Linkage & Safety Signoffs

"Investigations start with facts, not guesswork."
