Envoc

What Envoc does

Envoc, legally High Power Consulting, Inc. and headquartered in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, is a privately-held software firm founded in 2003 that specializes in digital identity, biometric verification, mobile driver's license (mDL) implementation, and technology modernization. It serves state and federal government agencies, healthcare providers, higher education institutions, banking and financial services, age-restricted industries, and field operations customers in oil & gas, manufacturing, and construction. The company's flagship technical assets are concentrated around ISO/IEC 18013-5 and 18013-7 (which Envoc both authored and implements), NIST PAD Level 2 certified liveness detection integrated from FaceTec, and a quantum-resistant key infrastructure. Active product brands include FaceLock (liveness-enforced IDV), Privacy Guardian (AI facial age estimation with the Vouchify protocol), QTopia (appointment scheduling deployed across all 79 Louisiana Office of Motor Vehicles customer service centers), Spotter Inspection (offline-first field inspection app), and FlipFire SMS (TCPA-compliant messaging). LA Wallet, the first legal mDL in US history (launched 2014 serving 2M+ Louisiana residents), was divested by the company at the end of 2025.

Envoc monetizes through two parallel streams: product licensing (subscription/recurring revenue across FaceLock, QTopia, Privacy Guardian, Spotter Inspection, and FlipFire SMS) and embedded professional services including technology modernization, AI orchestration, and what the company describes as integrated product engineering rather than time-and-materials staffing. Pricing is opaque and consultative: the public go-to-market uses "Request a briefing" calls-to-action routing prospects directly to the engineers who built the products, with no published price tiers. Consumer-facing products are distributed through the iOS App Store and Google Play, while enterprise and government motions run through direct field sales led by CEO Calvin Fabre and a small named leadership team. The company is founder-controlled and bootstrapped with no disclosed institutional funding, participating actively in standards bodies (ISO Working Group 10, AAMVA, AVPA) and holding HIPAA-compliant infrastructure with SOC 2 Type II certification expected June 2026.

Brands

• FaceLock: Liveness-enforced identity verification product anchored to government credentials (passport NFC or ISO 18013-5 mDL). Real-time biometric match with quantum-resistant key infrastructure.
• QTopia
• Privacy Guardian
• Spotter Inspection
• FlipFire SMS

Products and services

• FaceLock Liveness-enforced identity verification product that anchors trust to the credential chip of a government-issued document — either a passport NFC chip or an ISO 18013-5 mobile driver's license — and performs a real-time biometric match against the issuer-trusted photo. Designed for remote identity verification for financial services, higher education admissions, healthcare patient onboarding, and government applicant flows; includes pathways that do not assume a $1,200 smartphone.
• Privacy Guardian Privacy-preserving AI age verification application that performs facial age estimation without requiring a government ID, photo storage, or third-party database lookups, reporting 99.5% estimation accuracy with zero PII retention. Includes the proprietary Vouchify protocol, which lets age-appropriate adults authorize minors when age estimation alone is insufficient. Distributed on iOS App Store and Google Play for direct download.
• QTopia Appointment scheduling and queue management platform for government offices, healthcare facilities, and campuses, with smart scheduling, location discovery, and automated notifications. Deployed across all 79 Louisiana Office of Motor Vehicles customer service centers, enabling 2.1M+ appointments served with a 40% reduction in in-person wait times and 65% fewer no-shows, and an NPS of 71.8 from 11,000+ survey responses.
• Spotter Inspection Configurable tablet application for field inspections with offline-first sync, custom forms, and intrinsically-safe hardware options for hazardous environments. Designed for oil & gas, manufacturing, construction, and other operators needing paper-free, offline-capable inspections with compliance audit trails.
• FlipFire SMS TCPA-compliant, 10DLC-verified two-way SMS platform for service businesses, dealerships, and agencies to handle customer communication, appointment reminders, and engagement with regulatory-safe messaging.
• Liveness-Enforced Identity Verification Service Consulting and integration service that delivers remote identity verification anchored to a government-issued credential — passport NFC chip or mDL — with a real-time biometric match, AI deepfake awareness, and quantum-resistant encryption throughout. Sold via 'Request a briefing' to government agencies and regulated enterprises.
• mDL & Verifiable Credential Integration Service End-to-end implementation service for mobile driver's licenses and verifiable credentials, based on ISO 18013-5 and 18013-7. Envoc authored the specifications it implements and runs the only production mDL system in US history through LA Wallet.
• Technology Modernization Service Incremental modernization of legacy systems for government and regulated enterprises, delivered with named owners and operational runbooks on day one. Designed to modernize without disruptive reboots.
• Embedded Product Engineering Service Standing Envoc teams that join client organizations to ship production systems in regulated environments — not staffing or a deck of recommended approaches, but a product team with deep domain expertise in identity, privacy, and regulated software.
• AI Orchestration Service Strategic guidance and implementation service for enterprises adopting AI: approach, planning, training, agent design, prompt engineering, platform architecture, and hybrid infrastructure combining frontier models with private local deployments to safeguard IP.
