Web app
Full functionality in the browser, no installation – the fastest route for desk-based work.
Product
Web, iOS, Android, Teams, smartwatch and car
The same platform, wherever the booking actually happens – in the browser, on the move, in the team chat or on the way to the office.
In short
Door James is available through several channels: the web app at wa.doorjames.app, native iOS and Android apps with push and geofencing, a Microsoft Teams app, apps for Apple Watch and Wear OS, CarPlay and Android Auto for the commute, and kiosk tablets at reception. All channels work on the same data.

Features
Native apps
iOS and Android with push notifications, QR scanner, geofencing and an offline-capable badge.
Microsoft Teams
Book without switching tools: the Teams app uses the Microsoft identity and shows activity in a Teams tab.
Home screen widgets
Agenda with tap-to-check-in, current booking, favourite colleagues and who is on site at a chosen office.
Smartwatch
Apple Watch and Wear OS: the next booking, check-in and the badge QR code on the wrist, with a next-booking tile and a watch-face complication on Wear OS.
CarPlay
Booking and check-in by voice on the commute, without picking up the phone.
Outlook add-in
A task pane while you create the meeting: it suggests Door James rooms and fills the appointment in, so the room is booked where the meeting is planned.
Demo mode without an account
A fully working version of the app with example data, reachable without a login – the fastest way to show a colleague what this actually looks like.
Kiosk
A tablet at reception for visitor self check-in and badge printing.
Designed for accessibility
Door James 2.0 is designed against BITV/WCAG 2.0 criteria. An independent certification has not been completed.
One source of truth, many surfaces
The number of channels is not an end in itself. It follows the observation that bookings rarely happen at a desk: the office day is planned on the sofa in the evening, the parking space booked on the way to the car, the room agreed in a Teams chat. Every missing channel shifts effort to reception or creates unbooked usage – and therefore inaccurate occupancy data.
What belongs on which channel
The web app remains the place for planning and overview. Native apps own everything related to arriving: check-in by scan or geofence, badge, push. Widgets and smartwatch reduce that to a glance or a tap. The Teams app targets organizations where Teams is the primary tool; it is deliberately lean and not a replacement for the Admin Panel.

Everyone works in their own language – including guests and colleagues at international locations. The language follows the person, not the location.

No. The web app covers the full functionality. Native apps mainly pay off for push notifications, QR check-in and geofencing.
