Info-Vision Research Systems

What Info-Vision Research Systems does

Info-Vision Research Systems, Inc. (IRSI) is a Philippine-domiciled, founder-owned information services company founded in 2004 by Henry C. Poblador and headquartered in Mandaue City, Cebu. It provides outsourced credit information, background investigation, market and survey research, accounts receivable management, and property valuation services to enterprise clients — primarily banks and BPO companies that have used the firm since inception — through four processing sites in Cebu, Makati, Pampanga, and Davao, supplemented by correspondents in other cities and provinces.

The company's core technology asset is its proprietary Online Reporting Application (ORA), a secure, web-based, on-demand portal that lets authorized clients retrieve credit and background investigation reports in real time; the company claims ORA is unique within its industry segment in the Philippines. Service lines under the InfoCredit (credit evaluation), InfoBak (personnel security reports), ARM, Research & Surveys, and Property Valuation brands are delivered transactionally, with documented revenue mechanics on the ARM side being a 20% commission under a "No Collection, No Fee" structure with a claimed 70% effective collection ratio.

Info-Vision operates a direct enterprise field-sales motion, supported by a minimal digital presence (Facebook, WordPress blog), and is privately held with no disclosed external investors, funding rounds, M&A activity, or executive hires beyond the founder-President. Pricing for most services is quote-based rather than publicly listed, and revenue figures are not disclosed in available sources.
