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 on a tablet: the workplace's own branding and welcome video, with sign in, QR scan and sign out actions and a red evacuation button.
The live evacuation roll call on a phone: visitors marked safe or off-site, each with the time and the warden who marked them.
Actual screens from Janus. The workspace is a demo, so every visitor and name shown is made up.

Janus does your

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.

  • Runs on the iPad you already have
  • Your branding, layout and welcome video
  • Returning visitors skip the form

The same sign-in on a visitor's phone, opened from the poster QR — the workplace's branding with sign in, QR and sign out actions.

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 purpose, and a QR code that signs the visitor in and out 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
The Janus visits list: everyone on site with references, hosts, arrival times and live status badges.
A host's phone showing Janus arrival alerts: a text message and notifications saying their visitor has arrived at reception.

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
The Janus reports page: totals for visits, visitors and contractors, check-ins per day, and every visit with its times and status.
A real induction question at sign-in — the alarm sounds, what do you do? — marked by the server, with a pass required to sign in.

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
The Janus evacuation history: past drills with duration and counts, one expanded to its roll call showing who was accounted for, by whom, and one person never accounted for.

Everything the front desk does.
Nothing it shouldn't.

Straight up

We're new.
Here's what that
means for you.

  • Pricing is TBC, on purpose Janus is free while in early access. When pricing lands, early customers hear first and keep a preferential founding rate.
  • Nothing to lose to try it Everything switched on, no credit card, cancel any time. If it is not right, do nothing and it ends.
  • Built in New Zealand TXT alerts through a New Zealand carrier, NZ date formats, and an evacuation feature designed for how NZ workplaces actually drill.
  • Your data leaves with you Every list in the app exports to CSV, and a visitor who asks to be forgotten is genuinely anonymised — not flagged hidden.
  • You get the people who build it Small team, no call centre. When you report something, it reaches the person who can fix it.

Pricing

Every feature.
Pricing to be confirmed.

Nothing will be held back for a higher tier — inductions, TXT alerts, evacuation, reports: it is all in. What it costs is still being settled, and we would rather say TBC than guess at you.

Early access Free while in early access. Founding customers get first say on the pricing, and a preferential rate when it lands.

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.
