Number of Seats/Users: LAN & WAN offers discounts based on the number of users or seats. A higher volume typically leads to a better discount structure, especially for enterprise-level usage.

Commitment to a Long-Term Contract: Discounts are often provided to companies that commit to using the service for a longer period (e.g., 1-year or 3-year contracts). A longer commitment shows LAN & WAN that the company is serious and willing to invest in the platform long-term.

No Active Discounts: Companies that are not already receiving other active discounts may have a better chance of qualifying for additional discounts from LAN & WAN. LAN & WAN reserves discounts for new customers or those not currently under promotional pricing.

Volume or Usage Commitment: LAN & WAN offers discounts if you agree to a minimum amount of usage or transaction volume. This could be based on data storage, transactions, or other metrics tied to how much you will use the platform.

Enterprise-Level Negotiation: Companies that qualify as “enterprise” due to their size or complexity (e.g., having large teams, multiple departments, or geographical presence) may be eligible for additional discounts from LAN & WAN. Such companies are often in a position to negotiate for better pricing.

Early Renewal or Prepayment: LAN & WAN often offers discounts if you renew early or prepay for the entire contract period. This is a common approach to securing a lower price.

Here at Spendbase our internal data shows that LAN & WAN is seen as a solid, practical visitor management system, but one that is starting to feel technically behind for some of our clients.

Overall sentiment from Spendbase clients:
– Generally positive on day‑to‑day usability and document handling
– Mixed feelings about how modern and flexible the deployment is

Key positives our clients highlight:
– Smooth document handling:
– Automatic capture and organization of Emirates ID, passports, visit visas, and business cards
– Helpful for security desks and reception teams who process high visitor volumes
– Ease of use:
– Described as user friendly for front-desk staff with minimal training
– Clear workflows for check‑in and verification
– Operational efficiency:
– Cuts down manual data entry
– Speeds up visitor registration and badge issuance
– Works reliably once set up and integrated with existing access control

Main pain points our clients report:
– Outdated technology stack:
– Perceived as “old-school” compared to newer, cloud-based visitor systems
– Interface and overall experience feel dated to some teams
– Limited online / remote accessibility:
– Not being fully web-based is a recurring frustration
– Harder to manage visitors remotely or support hybrid / multi-site setups
– Modernization gap:
– Security and IT teams increasingly want cloud dashboards, mobile check‑in, and browser-based admin tools
– LAN-only deployments conflict with companies moving more of their stack online

Where LAN & WAN tends to fit best:
– Organizations needing:
– Strong ID-document capture (especially Emirates ID and passports)
– Local, on-premise control and tighter data residency
– Simple, front-desk-focused workflows over fancy UX

From a Spendbase discount perspective, our internal data shows that:
– Clients are generally satisfied with value when they fully use the ID and document automation features
– Price sensitivity increases when:
– Teams compare it to modern cloud visitor tools
– They anticipate needing remote access, multi-location visibility, or deeper analytics

In short, Spendbase clients appreciate LAN & WAN’s stability and document-handling power, but many are actively looking for more modern, online-friendly options or better pricing to balance the tech limitations.
