Biosite Systems

What Biosite Systems does

Biosite Systems is a UK-based construction technology company, headquartered in Solihull and founded in 2010, that delivers biometric and RFID-based access control plus workforce management solutions specifically engineered for active construction jobsites. Its core offering combines ruggedised hardware (jobsite turnstiles, UHF RFID handheld scanners branded CrewScan, guard booths, door access kits, vehicle access control, site surveillance, and portable fire alarm systems) with CrewSight, a proprietary workforce management software platform that tracks worker credentials, attendance, and site presence.

The company operates a vertical-focused, enterprise field-sales go-to-market model, selling directly to construction firms via consultative quote and demo requests rather than through channel partners or self-service pricing. Revenue is generated through a hybrid model of one-time hardware sales (turnstiles, scanners, guard booths, vehicle access kits, surveillance and alarm systems) and recurring software subscriptions tied to the CrewSight platform. Product expansion has been supported by two 2018 acquisitions (Mosaic Management Systems and Construct Technology), a ~£4M growth equity round from Mobeus Equity Partners in late 2016, and selection into the UK Future Fifty scaleup programme.

Biosite serves a single vertical — construction — addressing site security, worker access control, attendance tracking, surveillance, and fire safety compliance. The firm employs 101–250 people, operates a US-localised web presence alongside its UK base, and remains privately held with no disclosed ownership beyond the 2016 Mobeus investment.

Core offering

Biosite Systems provides construction site access control and workforce management solutions, combining hardware (turnstiles, RFID scanners, guard booths, door and vehicle access systems) with proprietary software (CrewSight) to identify, track, and manage construction workers on jobsites. The company also offers ancillary solutions for site surveillance, fire safety, and security, delivered as an integrated suite to construction companies.

Product overview

Biosite Systems offers a unified platform-plus-modules architecture centered on construction site access control and workforce management. The core products include Jobsite Turnstiles (physical access points) and CrewSight Workforce Management Software (centralized worker tracking and credential management). These are supported by a suite of complementary hardware and software modules: CrewScan UHF RFID Handheld Scanner for mobile credential verification, Guard Booths for staffed entry points, Door Access Control and Vehicle Access Control for managing different entry modes, Site Surveillance for security monitoring, and Portable Alarm Systems for fire safety. Together, these products form an integrated site management ecosystem for construction companies.

Broad incumbents

• HID Global: Dominant access control credential and reader manufacturer with enterprise reach; competes with Biosite's RFID readers and access controllers as part of a broader IAM portfolio.
• Procore Technologies: Dominant construction operations SaaS suite; competes for the construction buyer's wallet on workforce/project data and could integrate (or compete with) site access and crew management layers.
• Honeywell Building Technologies: Large building systems integrator offering access, video, and intrusion for commercial sites including construction phases; competing incumbent with much broader portfolio than Biosite.
• Genetec: Unified physical security platform (access control + video) widely deployed across commercial and infrastructure sites including construction; competes most directly with Biosite's surveillance/access bundle.
• Acre Security (formerly Vanderbilt/Comnet): Access control and intruder manufacturer serving enterprise and construction-grade sites; overlaps with Biosite's door and vehicle access control offerings.

Emerging players

• Kisi: Cloud-native access control platform increasingly deployed at temporary/multi-tenant sites; competes with Biosite's door access kits as a software-led alternative to traditional kits.
• BioConnect: Biometric identity and access solutions for workforce and construction-adjacent use cases; aligns with Biosite's biometric fingerprint positioning at jobsite access points.

Direct peers

• LaborChart: Workforce planning and tracking platform built specifically for construction contractors; competes with Biosite on the software side of site workforce visibility.
• OpenSpace: AI-powered construction site capture and monitoring; overlaps with Biosite's site surveillance and remote jobsite visibility offerings for the same construction buyer.
• Rhumbix: Construction workforce management SaaS focused on time, productivity, and field data for crews — directly comparable to Biosite's CrewSight workforce management layer for construction sites.
