InPass

What InPass does

InPass (legal entity SIA InPass, registered in Latvia, 2017) is a Liepāja-based IoT solutions provider that designs and manufactures its own controllers, sensors, and cloud software for enterprise efficiency. Its portfolio spans six integrated product categories: employee work time tracking, EDLUS (a construction-specific time tracking system certified for direct transmission to Latvia's national VEDLUDB database), production efficiency monitoring (claiming up to 15% efficiency gains), access control with biometric and breathalyzer integration, indoor microclimate monitoring, and data digitalization solutions, all accessed through a shared InPass portal. The company is diversifying into specialized applications, most notably MUPSIS 2024, a Eurostars-funded mobile utility pole inspection system combining radar, multispectral/RGB imaging, LIDAR, and AI interpretation with drones, in partnership with AS Sadales tīkls, NORCE, and AERSEA, and previously the UP-CEMS ship emissions monitoring controller developed with Instrumatic Marine and the Danish National Metrology Institute.

InPass generates revenue primarily through monthly subscriptions starting at EUR 99, combined with a managed equipment-leasing model in which controllers, sensors, turnstiles, and other devices are provided to customers on rental terms rather than sold outright. Distribution is direct enterprise field sales with free online and in-person consultations, supplemented by trade mission participation (TechCrunch Disrupt 2025, Innovation Zero 2025, EXPO 2025 Japan) and EU cluster programs. Customer segments are primarily construction and manufacturing, with secondary verticals in industrial/warehouse, education, cold storage, waste/energy, and cultural institutions. The company operates across Latvia, Lithuania, Estonia, and the United Kingdom, reporting 50% export growth in 2023 versus 2021, and received the 2023 Baltic Assembly Prize for Innovation. The business is privately held by co-founders Raivis Ekšteins and Kaspars Golts with no external equity rounds; growth has been financed through commercial revenue, EU/ERDF grants, and support from the Latvian Investment and Development Agency.

Revenue model

1. Software Subscription: Monthly subscription fees for access to InPass cloud platform and software. Usage-based pricing depends on data volume, software requirements, and solution complexity.
2. Equipment Leasing: All InPass equipment is provided to clients through leasing/rental model rather than outright purchase. Devices include controllers, sensors, turnstiles, and other monitoring equipment. This enables sustainable technology use and eliminates upfront capital investment for clients.

Broad incumbents

• UKG (Ultimate Kronos Group): UKG is a global workforce management and human capital management platform that, like InPass, provides employee time tracking, scheduling, and access control solutions. While UKG serves much larger enterprises with broader HCM functionality, it competes in the same core time tracking and workforce mobility category InPass addresses in the Baltics.
• Samsara: Samsara is a leading IoT platform providing connected sensors, workforce tracking, equipment monitoring, and environmental sensing for industrial operations. While Samsara focuses on fleet and asset-heavy industries at larger scale, its Connected Operations Cloud overlaps with InPass's environmental monitoring, equipment efficiency, and workforce visibility offerings.

Emerging players

• Losant: Losant is an enterprise IoT platform providing data ingestion, visualization, and workflow automation for connected devices and sensor networks. It operates in the same IoT data processing and monitoring space as InPass's cloud portal and sensor integration capabilities, though Losant focuses on platform-level IoT enablement rather than vertical solutions.
• Ubidots: Ubidots is a low-code IoT platform for sensor data collection, visualization, and alerting targeting industrial and environmental monitoring applications. It overlaps with InPass's indoor air quality monitoring, environmental sensing, and automated alerting functionality.
• Verdigris Technologies: Verdigris provides AI-powered energy and equipment monitoring for commercial and industrial facilities, using sensors and analytics to detect anomalies. While focused on electrical systems rather than the broader IoT scope of InPass, it represents comparable industrial IoT environmental monitoring functionality.
• Particle: Particle is an IoT platform providing cellular and Wi-Fi connected hardware plus cloud infrastructure for industrial IoT applications. It addresses the same IoT enablement layer that InPass provides to customers, though Particle focuses on the developer/platform side while InPass delivers turnkey solutions including proprietary controllers and application software.

Direct peers

• Tamigo: Tamigo is a European workforce management SaaS providing time tracking, scheduling, and HR tools for retail, hospitality, and industrial employers. It directly overlaps with InPass's time tracking and access control products, with similar European SMB-to-enterprise customer focus.
• ClockShark: ClockShark is a SaaS time tracking and scheduling platform built specifically for construction and field service companies. It directly competes with InPass's EDLUS product by providing mobile time tracking, GPS, and job costing for construction crews — the same use cases InPass addresses for Baltic construction customers.
• Planday: Planday is a workforce management platform for shift-based and hourly employees, providing time tracking, scheduling, and employee engagement tools. It serves the same SMB and enterprise employee time tracking use case as InPass's Work Time Tracking System, particularly for shift-based industrial and service workforces.
• Raken: Raken is a construction-focused daily reporting, time tracking, and workforce management platform used by general contractors and subcontractors. It directly parallels InPass's EDLUS offering for construction sites, including mobile time entry and field crew management workflows.
