Grip Onsite is a suite of products and services for delivering the on-site parts of an event. Attendees can check in at self-service kiosks for printed badges, or use a printed ticket, badge, or event app. Organizers get real-time arrival reporting and can track attendance at sessions. Badge scans can control access to exclusive areas and provide sponsored-session leads. Bluetooth Smart Badges let participants exchange contact details with a button press, while location tracking can show booth and session visits, including duration. Badge options include laminated or paper formats, customizable size and orientation, and an optional RFID sticker. Grip Onsite can be used alone, with Grip Engage or Manage, or with a third-party registration system. Equipment is delivered, installed, and tested by onsite support staff or trained technicians; events with fewer than four terminals can choose self-managed setup. Badging setup typically takes 2–6 hours and is usually completed the day before opening. The paid service works across Android, iOS, and web, with pricing available on request.
