What Intebloc does
Intebloc is a privately held UK-based software company that develops digital safety software for managing lifting equipment and safety-critical workflows in high-risk operations, primarily offshore oil and gas. Founded in 2017 in Aberdeen by Ross McLeod, a former offshore lifting authority who investigated a lifting-related fatality, the company sells two registered proprietary products: RigWare™, a tablet-based, offline-capable lifting equipment management system that tracks issue, return, certification and status of equipment using live dashboards, RFID scanning and PDF/Excel reporting; and InteCheck™, launched in 2025, a digital task and inspection system covering DROPS inspections, pre-use checks, tools aloft and other safety-critical tasks with guided workflows, automated alerts and digital sign-off. The technology stack is built on ruggedised tablets with offline capability, RFID integration, Azure cloud infrastructure, and Azure Entra / MFA enterprise security, with an optional API for ERP integration.\n\nThe company monetises through enterprise SaaS rental agreements bundled with hardware (ruggedised tablets, RFID readers/tags), unlimited onshore support and full-service implementation including data input by the Intebloc team. Its go-to-market is direct enterprise field sales targeting major offshore operators and drilling contractors globally, supplemented by event-driven demand generation through industry accelerators (TechX, ORE Catapult), case-study content and awards-based credibility. Customers include Stena Drilling (also a 30% shareholder), Shell (Adura), CNOOC, TAQA, EnQuest, Vantage Drilling and Ithaca Energy, with 50+ assets deployed worldwide, 80%+ UK Continental Shelf penetration for RigWare, and a cited 100% contract renewal rate. Geographic footprint spans the UK, Europe, Africa (Namibia, DRC), Asia-Pacific (Malaysia) and the Americas (first US contract in 2025), with stated diversification plans into construction, renewables and marine sectors.

Intebloc partnerships and signals
Strategic signalPartnerships
Three partnerships are on record, tiered flagship, core and minor.
- Stena Drilling (Contract)flagshipStena Drilling awarded Intebloc a three-year contract (their largest at the time) to supply the Rig-Ware data management system for six of Stena Drilling's vessels in Europe, Africa and South America. Extensive trials were conducted on Stena Spey and Stena IceMAX before contract award. Stena Drilling's feedback was integral to enhancing the Rig-Ware system. The CEO of Stena Drilling, Erik Ronsberg, described the relationship as 'fundamental' to Intebloc's development.
- OGTC (Oil and Gas Technology Centre)coreOGTC supported Intebloc through the TechX Pioneer Accelerator programme (2018) and continued to support the development and deployment of Rig-Ware. OGTC also helped accelerate the development of Intebloc's second enhanced lifting technology focused on safe marine operations.
- BP (TechX Programme)minorIntebloc participated in BP's TechX Pioneer Accelerator programme in 2018 and received a BP Performance Award for work and contribution during the programme.

Intebloc competitors and assessment
Company assessmentDirect peers
- SafetyCulture: SafetyCulture (iAuditor) is a tablet/mobile-first digital inspection and safety workflow platform widely used across industrial, manufacturing, and field operations. It directly competes with Intebloc's InteCheck for digital checklists, pre-use checks, and safety inspections in industrial settings.
- EHS Insight (Perforce): EHS Insight is a cloud EHS platform for incident management, inspections, audits, and compliance used in industrial and energy operations. It directly competes with Intebloc's digital inspection and safety compliance workflows.
- SHE Software (Perforce): SHE Software (now part of Perforce) provides EHS software for managing incidents, inspections, audits, and compliance workflows in industrial and high-risk operations. It competes directly with Intebloc's combined RigWare + InteCheck offering for digital safety management.
Broad incumbents
- Veeva Systems: Veeva is a cloud platform with strong regulated-industry compliance, document, and quality management capabilities. While primarily life sciences-focused, its regulated workflow stack represents the kind of broad incumbent that could move into safety-critical industrial compliance.
- Cority: Cority is an enterprise EHS software platform with strong penetration in oil and gas, utilities, and heavy industry. It offers configurable modules for inspections, audits, asset management, and compliance that overlap with Intebloc's safety-critical workflows.
- Intelex Technologies: Intelex is a broad EHS/quality management platform serving heavy industry including oil and gas, with modules for inspections, asset management, and compliance. It overlaps with Intebloc's safety inspection and equipment tracking use cases but addresses a much wider functional footprint.
Emerging players
- PlanRadar: PlanRadar is a mobile SaaS for construction and real estate defect, inspection, and task management. It overlaps with Intebloc's pre-use checks and inspection workflows but is focused on construction rather than offshore oil and gas.
- MaintainX: MaintainX is a mobile-first CMMS and inspection platform used in manufacturing, facilities, and field operations for work orders, inspections, and asset management. It overlaps with Intebloc's equipment management and digital inspection use cases but is positioned for a broader mid-market industrial audience.
