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 just there.
Staff-free arrival flow
The whole arrival path — confirm the driver, mark them on-site, hand 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.
Self-serve arrivals,
