InVentry helps Elmsleigh Infant & Nursery School replace their outdated paper sign in system with a modern solution that enhances safety and efficiency, particularly during emergency evacuations.

The Client

Elmsleigh Infant & Nursery School, dedicated to providing a safe and nurturing environment for young learners, recognized the need to update their sign in process. Their previous system relied heavily on paper, which created inefficiencies and potential safety risks.

The Challenge

Elmsleigh’s old paper-based sign in system was becoming unmanageable, leading to concerns about the school’s ability to maintain accurate records of who was on-site. The School Business Administrator, Charlotte Hancock, highlighted the critical need for an effective evacuation process, noting, “The big one is fire evacuation – knowing which staff are on-site and the ability to have multiple staff checking students and visitors off at the same time on the evacuation app is very useful.” The school also needed a quick way to identify available staff during sudden illnesses to ensure classroom coverage, an essential part of their daily operations.

The Solution

InVentry provided Elmsleigh with a comprehensive sign in solution that addressed these challenges. The system’s evacuation app became an essential tool, allowing staff to efficiently track students and visitors during drills and actual emergencies. Charlotte emphasized how the system streamlined their processes: “I just look on the InVentry console to see which members of staff are on-site. This is the fastest way of enabling us to see who can cover a class.”

The decision to choose InVentry was driven by its user-friendly interface and reliability. “We chose InVentry as it proved to be the most user-friendly, reliable, and had all the features that we needed,” Charlotte explained. The system not only improved operational efficiency but also made a positive impact on the school community. Charlotte noted, “It’s a big hit with the children too, they love seeing their names on the screen and being able to use the touchscreen. It really gives a good first impression of our school.”
