3.0 Who are we?

InVentry has been the driving force in visitor management systems since 2010. What started out as the answer to an outdated paper-based system, has now become the market leading sign in and visitor management system in the UK.

There are now over 8,000 schools and businesses using InVentry. Every week we handle more than 9.9 million sign in and out events (that’s up to 85 every second) and capture over 255,000 visitor images.

More than 10 years on and we’re still pushing the technology we use and the industry as a whole. This constant drive to keep moving forward was recently captured by InVentry being named in the 21st Fastest Growing Technology Business in the North and being named in the Deloitte Fast 500.

We have now extended our sign in solution beyond education, serving customers in the private and public sectors as well as local government.

InVentry speeds up the sign in process, keeps identity information secure, and leaves schools feeling confident that their students and staff are safe.
