What InVentry does

InVentry is a UK-based provider of visitor management and sign-in solutions, founded in 2010 and headquartered in Leeds. Its core platform is a touchscreen kiosk-based system that digitally replaces paper sign-in books to track visitors, staff, pupils, and contractors, integrating webcam capture, ID badge printing, facial recognition for regular contractors, and automated DBS (Disclosure and Barring Service) checks. The platform extends beyond sign-in into adjacent workflows through purpose-built modules: RollCall for real-time cloud-based evacuation management with offline mode, InVentry Central for multi-site oversight, Checkpoint for offline door access, Space Bookings for meeting rooms and car parking, and a registration suite (ClassMark Cloud, ClubReg Cloud, Lessonscan) targeting classroom and club attendance with MIS write-back. The product integrates with Paxton, Salto, Almas Industries, and Suprema door access systems alongside Gmail and Outlook, with cloud infrastructure operated by Microsoft Azure, Rackspace, IBM, ANS, and AWS.

The company operates a primarily UK-focused go-to-market combining direct sales with an approved reseller channel and a dedicated Reseller Portal. Pricing is quote-based, structured as annual software subscriptions augmented by hardware sales (kiosks, RFID label rolls, ID scanners), maintenance contracts, and professional installation services, with a 30-day money-back guarantee introduced in July 2023 to reduce purchase friction. In July 2023 InVentry acquired Singapore-based Hipla Technologies to extend its smart workplace offerings into APAC. The company holds ISO9001 and ISO27001 accreditations and reports more than 10,000 customer organisations, a 99% customer retention rate, 5.7 million sign-in events per week, and 146,000 visitor images captured weekly. Customers span UK schools (the primary segment), corporate offices, manufacturing, healthcare, local government, data centres, care homes, venues, charities, and emergency services, with named enterprise references including BASF, Arla, EDF, National Grid, Legal & General, Home Office, Capita, the Trafford Centre, and Portsmouth Football Club.
