Joan devices are wireless, battery powered and install in minutes without IT involvement. #### **Use the devices you already own** Logitech locks you into fixed hardware. Joan runs on tablets, phones or its own e paper displays so you can scale easily and avoid expensive vendor lock in. #### **Smarter sustainability** Joan’s e paper displays use 99% less energy than LCD screens, last up to six months on a single charge and ship in zero waste packaging. Logitech requires constant power over Ethernet which drives up both energy use and costs. - ### Everybody knows when the room is booked or not. It’s a very clear way to say: ‘Stop! Don’t go there because someone else took the room. It was really helpful because we didn’t change the way we booked the room. **Lucio Ferranti** , CEO at Energy Group - ### Joan is the perfect solution—sleek, wireless, and so intuitive our team started using it without any training. **Topher Ohlin** , IT Admin at Planning Center - ### So far we have had no trouble during the onboarding process or using it. I am very pleased, so far. I also love the design. I know it is not important to the people who think that only functionality matters, but if you have functionality WITH a nice and clean design, that makes the experience so much better. **Isabela Simoes** , Administrative Assistant at Master Electronics - ### The unique aspect of Joan is that it does not require power going to the unit; you can mount them anywhere. The battery life lasts anywhere from four to five months. Very easy to set up and does not require any user training. **Pablo Gersberg** , Senior Vice President at Neumora - ### We wanted to make a platform where everybody could come in and see if there’s a room open that they can schedule and work out of. **Adam Fisk** , Director of IT services at Tech Superpowers 1/5 #### Integrations Google Workspace, Microsoft 365, Slack, Teams #### Compliance Certified for GDPR, SOC 2, and ISO/IEC 27001 compliance #### AI Capabilities Smart booking recommendations, auto-rescheduling #### Sustainability E-paper display uses 99% less energy than tablets ## All-in-one pricing.
