Frequently asked questions
How does the ePaper badge improve my front-desk security?
Unlike paper badges that can be easily faked or forgotten, the Joan ePaper badge is linked to a real-time visitor log. It ensures that everyone in your building has been verified, signed necessary documents (like NDAs), and is currently checked in. The moment they check out, the badge is cleared, protecting their privacy.
Can we use these for compliance-heavy environments?
Absolutely. By integrating the badge with the Joan Visitor Management platform, you can ensure every visitor has signed required documents (like NDAs) and is logged in a GDPR-compliant digital record before a badge is ever issued.
What specific information can be displayed on the visitor badge?
Beyond just a name, you can customize the content to include your company logo, the check-in time, the host’s name, and even emergency contact details. For an extra layer of security, you can also collect a guest photo during check-in and have it displayed directly on the badge.
Does the host get notified when a badge is issued?
Yes. The badge is the final step in a smooth check-in flow. As soon as the visitor completes their registration, the host receives an instant notification (via email, Slack, or Teams), so they can greet their guest immediately.
Is the battery rechargeable, and how do I know when it’s low?
Yes, it features a 100 mAh Li-Ion rechargeable battery. A red LED indicator lights up during charging. You can also monitor the status of your badges directly through the Joan Portal, so you’ll always know which ones are ready for the next visitor.
When it’s time to power up, they support wireless charging (Qi-standard), making it easy to keep your reception desk cable-free.
Is a subscription required for the Joan ePaper badges to work?
Yes. The hardware and software go hand-in-hand. An active Joan Visitor Management subscription is required to manage your layouts and automate the digital handoff from the registration tablet to the badge
What happens when a visitor leaves?
At the end of the visit, the guest simply returns the badge to reception. The admin checks them out in the system, and the badge screen is wiped or reset for the next guest. This “Return & Reuse” cycle is what makes the system pay for itself after just a few visits per month.
