Simply Arrived
Features

Built for how your front desk actually works.

One iPad handles check-in. Everything else — your branding, your welcome message, who appears on each kiosk — is yours to set. It’s built to fit your front desk, not the other way around.

The kiosk: fast, simple, and it works for everyone

Set it up once. It runs itself after that.

Tap in, done

A visitor taps the right team member, types their name, and they're checked in — under 10 seconds, no typing marathons.

No accounts, ever

Nothing to download, no password to remember, no email address collected at the door. Anyone can walk up and use it.

See every kiosk at a glance

Pair an iPad once with a 6-character code. From then on your dashboard shows each kiosk's status and today's check-ins, and lets you pause or replace a device in one click.

Updates without touching the iPad

Add a teammate, change your wording, swap your logo — from the dashboard. Every paired kiosk picks it up automatically.

Screen behavior you control

Set an idle screensaver and an inactivity timeout that match your space, quiet or busy.

Locked to just this app

The iPad's built-in Guided Access keeps it on Simply Arrived alone — about two minutes to turn on — so it stays a kiosk and nothing wanders off it.

More than one location?

Run a kiosk at each one. Choose who appears where, and every kiosk keeps its own time zone automatically.

It never bluffs

The kiosk says ‘notified’ only when someone really was. If a message can't go out, the visitor is told what to do instead of being left waiting.

Two-factor for your dashboard

Optional two-factor sign-in with any authenticator app, so the place you manage your team stays yours.

The right person hears about it, however works for them

Every teammate chooses text or email when they’re added — whatever they’ll actually notice.

Text or email, per person

Each staff member picks their own channel. Email-only teammates don't need to hand over a phone number at all.

Sent before they sit down

The notification goes out the moment someone checks in — no refreshing a dashboard, no walking to the lobby to look.

Route it your way

Choose which teammates appear on each kiosk. The visitor taps their person, and that one person hears about it — no noise for anyone else. Someone away? Set an out-of-office window and they simply don't appear until they're back.

Make it yours

Your colors. Your logo. Your words.

Simply Arrived isn’t built around one kind of business, so we don’t force one kind of language or look on you.

Logo and brand color

Upload your logo and set a primary color once. It carries through the kiosk screen and your dashboard — and every notification names your kiosk.

Wording that fits your business

Rename 'client' to whatever your visitors actually are — customer, guest, member, patron. Change it once, and it updates everywhere at once.

Team look and welcome message

Staff photos or clean color avatars, plus a welcome message on the kiosk screen written in your own voice.

On the roadmap · optional, per organization

Check in from the phone — if you want to offer it

The kiosk is the whole product — this is an optional layer on top for organizations that want it, never a replacement. If you turn it on, repeat visitors can check in from their own phone as they arrive, instead of stopping at the iPad.

  • Off by default. You decide, kiosk by kiosk, whether to offer it.
  • No account and nothing to sign up for — a visitor pairs once by scanning a code, then just checks in.
  • Your location is checked a single time, only the moment you tap Check In, and it never leaves the phone.
Privacy-first, by design

We can’t see where someone is — we only ever see a yes/no answer for “are they here.” Nothing about location is stored or shared.

Not available yet. When it is, it’ll be optional and off by default — the kiosk works the same either way.

Or join the waitlist — one email when it’s ready, nothing else.

We’ll only use this to let you know when we launch. See our Privacy Policy.
