Abstract
Gate pass management is an essential measure to keep records of people's entrance and exit of
company premises. Technological improvement steered gate pass management from paper-based
logbooks to a web-based system that relies on the internet. The web-based system contains forms
to input personal information, exit and entry time, and reason for requesting a gate pass. For a large
organization with a diverse number of employees who do not have access to computers for their
daily routine activities, it’s extremely challenging to request a gate pass through an existing web based gate pass management system. Thus, users turn to smartphones to access the web-based gate
pass management system. A responsive web system is a considerable approach to resolve screen
size and input method challenge of the smartphone; however, the study shows many users are not
interested to use a mobile browser for accessing web services. Hence necessitate the
implementation of a mobile application for enhancing the existing web-based gate pass
management system. Web-based gate pass management system requires printers for printing gate
pass permission, and barcode scanners are required for scanning gate pass permission paper at the
security gate. The cost of hardware and printing materials is waived through the utilization of
mobile phones to create shareable digital gate passes, as well as utilizing a camera as a barcode
scanner. The camera can be used for photographing gate pass users for extra records. Seventy (70)
respondents were selected through the non-probability purposive sampling technique. The mobile
application was developed, tested, and validated through hundred potential users.
