Visitor management for New Zealand workplaces

Sign them in.
Keep them safe.
Know who's on site.

Janus runs your front desk: a kiosk that greets every visitor, QR codes that let expected guests walk straight in, hosts told the moment someone arrives, and an evacuation roll call that works when it matters.

The Janus kiosk home screen on a tablet: a welcome message with three large buttons — check in, I'm expected with a QR scan, and sign out — and a small red evacuation button in the corner.

Janus does your sign-ins, pre-registrations, host alerts, site inductions, visitor agreements, contractor tracking, watchlist checks, evacuation roll calls, staff presence, visit reports and the front desk

One kiosk, one visitor record, and nobody standing at reception wondering who to call.

The door

A front desk that
never steps out.

Visitors sign themselves in on a tablet at the door — your branding, your welcome video, your questions. Walk-ins take seconds; returning visitors are recognised by their email or phone and skip the typing.

  • Your branding, layout and welcome video
  • Returning visitors skip the form

Expected visitors

Invited guests walk
straight in.

Pre-register a visitor and they get a confirmation with a QR code. Their phone camera opens it straight onto their visit; the kiosk scans it too — and the same code signs them out on the way back through.

  • Confirmation and reminder emails
  • One QR — signs in and out
  • Whole groups with one code
The Janus confirmation email: visit details with date, time, host and reference, and a QR code to scan at the door.

The host

They know before the
visitor sits down.

The moment someone checks in, their host hears about it — by email, text message, in-app notification, or all three. Each host picks their channel, and every message is delivered exactly once.

  • Email, TXT or in-app — per host
  • Sent once, never twice
  • Overstay alerts when visits run long

Compliance

Inductions at the door,
not in a binder.

Contractors watch the induction, answer the questions, and can't sign in until they pass — marked by the server, not the honour system. Agreements are accepted with a tap, and every acceptance is on record with a name and a timestamp.

  • Induction content with video and quiz
  • Fail the quiz, see the desk
  • Expiry dates and renewals tracked

When the alarm goes

You have the list,
at the assembly point.

A warden scans the evac poster, enters the PIN, and has everyone on site — visitors and staff — on their phone. Tick people off as safe or off-site; every warden's phone updates live, and every tick records who marked it and when.

  • QR posters per reception or whole site
  • Marks sync across every warden's phone
  • Evac contacts get the list by text and email

Questions

The things you'd
ask us on the phone.

What hardware do I need?

A tablet for the front desk — the iPad you already have is fine — and a wall for the poster QR. There is nothing proprietary to buy: the kiosk is an app, the posters are printed from Settings, and visitors' own phones do the rest.

Do visitors have to download anything?

No. Visitors sign in on the kiosk, or scan a QR with their phone camera and use the browser. The confirmation email carries their QR code; nothing to install, ever.

How do the TXT alerts work?

Through a New Zealand SMS carrier. Each host chooses email, TXT or both; messages are delivered exactly once — the system is built so a retry can never double-send a text.

What happens in an evacuation if the kiosk burns down?

The roll call does not live on the kiosk. Wardens scan the printed poster at the assembly point and run the list on their own phones — several wardens at once, all seeing the same ticks live. The kiosk button is just one way to raise the alarm.

Can contractors do their induction before they arrive?

Yes. Invite them to the visitor portal and they can watch the induction, sit the quiz and accept the agreement from their desk. At the door, they scan their QR and walk in.

Is our visitor data private?

Your workspace's data is yours: visitors are never shared across customers, exports are self-service, and a visitor who asks to be forgotten is genuinely anonymised. Sign-in lookups are built to never leak one visitor's details to another.

How long does it take to set up?

A workspace, a sign-in point and a kiosk pairing take about ten minutes. Bring a CSV of hosts and the directory imports in one step; print the poster and the phone flow is live the same morning.

Ready when you are

Tomorrow's visitors are
already booked in.

Set up the kiosk this morning, and by afternoon every arrival is signed in, inducted, badged and on the list.
