One of them is called <strong>Robo Desk Central<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>Robo Desk Central is a desktop application that lets you use your iOS device as a front office receptionist.  It works with its iOS counterpart called Robo Desk, which is designed to answer visitors at your office.  The iOS counterpart asks a visitor what their name is, who they are visiting at your office with a list of employees to choose from, whether or not they have an appointment.  Once it gets all answers from a visitor, the iOS counterpart will make a call to this application, telling that you have a visitor.  And Robo Desk Central records every visit. &nbsp; <!--more--><br \/>\n<br \/><\/br><br \/>\n<br \/><\/br><\/p>\n<table width=\"464\" border=\"0\" cellspacing=\"0\" cellpadding=\"0\">\n<tr>\n<td width=\"220\" valign=\"top\"><a href=\"mac\/mac_shareware\/robodeskcentral\/Screenshot_001.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"mac\/mac_shareware\/robodeskcentral\/thumbnail_Screenshot_001.jpg\" width=\"220\" height=\"140\" alt=\"Mac application Robo Desk Central\"\/><\/a><\/a><\/p>\n<div align=\"center\">Tom Bluewater<\/div>\n<\/td>\n<td width=\"20\">&nbsp;<\/td>\n<td width=\"220\" valign=\"top\"><a href=\"mac\/mac_shareware\/robodeskcentral\/Screenshot_002.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"mac\/mac_shareware\/robodeskcentral\/thumbnail_Screenshot_002.jpg\" width=\"220\" height=\"140\" alt=\"Mac application Robo Desk Central\"\/><\/a><\/a><\/p>\n<div align=\"center\">Tom Bluewater<\/div>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n<p><\/br><br \/>\n<br \/><\/br><br \/>\n<u>Features<\/u><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Let the iOS counterpart notify you of an office visit with an alert message.<\/li>\n<li>Create a list of employees accepting visitors.
