They scan in.
You stay on the floor.
Automated driver check-in for sim centers. Every booking carries a QR code, drivers scan in on arrival, and the bay status updates itself. No check-in desk, no manual list, and no-shows that flag themselves.
No signup required for the demo. Included on the Professional plan and above.
Arrivals run on
a clipboard.
A driver walks in, finds a staff member, says their name, waits while it gets matched to a booking, and finally gets pointed at a bay. Every arrival pulls someone off the floor, and on a busy night the line at the desk is the first thing a customer sees.
No-shows are worse. Nobody marks them in the moment, so at the end of the night someone reconciles a list against what actually happened, if it gets done at all. The data you would use to tighten your reminder and deposit policies never gets clean enough to act on.
GTLane automated check-in puts a QR code on every booking. Drivers scan in themselves, the bay status updates automatically, and a slot that passes with no scan flags itself as a no-show. No desk, no clipboard, no reconciliation.
What a manual check-in desk can't do
- Let a driver check in by QR with no one at the counter
- Flip the bay status the moment a driver arrives
- Flag a no-show automatically once the slot passes
- Send reminders that carry the check-in QR built in
- Keep accurate arrival data with no end-of-night reconciliation
From a confirmation email
to a driver in the rig.
The booking carries a QR code
Every confirmation email and reminder includes the driver’s check-in QR. They already have it in their pocket before they walk through the door.
The driver scans in on arrival
At a kiosk, at the door, or from their own phone, one scan marks them on-site. The bay status flips and the floor sees them arrive in real time.
No-shows flag themselves
If the slot passes with no check-in, the booking is marked a no-show automatically. Your arrival and no-show numbers are accurate without anyone reconciling a list.
Everything check-in
handles for you.
QR arrival check-in
Every booking confirmation carries a QR code. The driver scans it on arrival at the door, on a kiosk, or from their phone, and they are marked on-site instantly. No queue, no staff member ticking names off a list.
Automatic bay status updates
A check-in flips the bay from booked to arrived without anyone touching the admin screen. Staff see at a glance which drivers are here, which are still expected, and which bays are about to free up.
No-show detection
When a driver never checks in, the booking is flagged as a no-show automatically once the slot passes. No manual reconciliation at the end of the night. Your no-show data is already there.
Staff-free arrival flow
The whole arrival path, from confirming the driver to marking them on-site to handing them a bay, runs without a staff member in the loop. Your team stays on the floor running sessions instead of working a check-in desk.
Reminders that cut no-shows
Automated booking reminders go out ahead of every session with the check-in QR built in. Drivers arrive primed to scan and go, and the ones who can no longer make it cancel in time to free the slot.
Live arrival board for the floor
Check-ins feed the same live data the lounge TV display and race control screens read. The moment a driver scans in, the floor knows: bay status, countdown, and the walk-in board all update together.
