WHAT MAKES JOAN DIFFERENT

From frustration to innovation

Back in 2015, three minds from three very different worlds—a hardware wizard, a tech engineer, and an economist—looked around the office and thought: Why is finding a meeting room harder than holding the actual meeting?
The problem was everywhere. People wandered the halls hunting for an open room. Bookings were a mess. Empty rooms looked taken. Taken rooms looked free. And the humble post-it? It wasn’t cutting it anymore.
So, they rolled up their sleeves and built a better way—elegant, wireless meeting room schedulers that brought order to the chaos. Bye-bye post-its and hallway guesswork.
But the story didn’t end there. As work evolved, so did the chaos.


The problem of the hybrid workplace

Every workday begins with a mental checklist:
Is there a desk for me today? Will I be chasing meeting rooms again? And visitors… ugh, do we really have to deal with reception and sign-in forms?

Millions of people ask themselves these questions—and then pretend they’re not a big deal. But they are.
Time gets wasted. Energy gets drained. Spaces go unused while others are overbooked. Desks sit empty. Meetings get derailed. Visitors wait awkwardly. It’s a mess.

We hear the frustration loud and clear.
Joan Workplace is built by people who’ve had enough of the chaos—and believe the office should be simple, smooth, and smart.

Let’s go all-in!

An office that’s simple, smooth, and smart deserves a solution that’s the same.
Or better yet, a full platform of connected solutions designed to simplify workplace management, reservations, and communication in the most intuitive, seamless way possible.

That’s why Joan of today offers it all: meeting room and desk booking, parking reservations, visitor management, and workplace digital signage, powered by advanced analytics, all wrapped into one all-inclusive platform.

And what does that mean for you? Simple: if you choose Joan, you get everything. All features are included in the subscription plan you pick. No switching tools. No disruptions. Just one smooth, consistent experience that delivers real value, every single day.

Yes, we’re the first—and still the only—workplace brand to offer it all in one place.

We made this move to level up the workday for millions of employees—and give them the best workplace experience out there. No compromises.

Built for results, designed for people

Joan turns everyday office friction into flow. Your workday becomes smoother, more focused. Tasks like booking rooms or managing visitors just happen effortlessly and intuitively. Costs are cut through smarter space use, streamlined operations, and stronger collaboration. The ROI is real. And the workplace experience? It’s elevated—modern, seamless, and finally built around the way you actually work.

OUR MISSION

We make the workday smoother, more productive, and more enjoyable with a smart, people-focused workplace platform.

Joan began by rethinking one of the most frustrating parts of office life: meeting room chaos. Our elegant, wireless schedulers brought clarity where there was once confusion—and that was just the beginning.

Today, we’re leading the workplace (r)evolution with an all-inclusive platform that simplifies every part of the workday, from room and desk booking to visitor management, digital signage, and more. It’s all designed to give you a more productive, satisfying, and enjoyable experience—every single day.
