What Bouwpas does

Bouwpas is a Dutch identity, compliance and access management solution that originated in the construction sector and is now marketed as Oribi WorkpassID within the broader Oribi Suite. Founded in 2012 and headquartered in Oisterwijk, Netherlands, the company's core product enables construction sites and infrastructure projects to register visitors, verify contractor identities across complex contractor chains, and control physical and digital access to work locations based on qualifications and certifications. Under the Oribi Suite, the WorkpassID capability sits alongside complementary products (ExpertID, GuestID, MobileID, ShowID, CertifID, SmartID) that together address three functional areas: Identity (who someone is), Compliance (what they are qualified to do), and Access (what they are permitted to do).

The platform is cloud-based and supports Microsoft Azure Active Directory SSO for enterprise authentication, with a self-serve customer portal (portal.bouwpas.nl) and a dedicated mobile application for on-site staff. Oribi/Bouwpas sells primarily via consultative direct enterprise sales, with prospects requesting demos or contacting specialists; pricing is not publicly disclosed. The vertical focus has expanded beyond construction and infrastructure into semi-government, healthcare, energy, logistics, industry, automotive, staffing and education, though construction and infrastructure remains the primary use case.

Bouwpas operates as a privately held entity under the Oribi platform, with 11-50 employees and no disclosed external funding rounds, M&A activity, or named customers in the available sources. The company is active and operating, with no regulatory actions or restructuring events beyond its integration and rebranding into the Oribi parent brand.
