General FAQ’s

InVentry is a visitor management system that replaces paper sign ins with a secure, digital solution. It manages staff, students, visitors, and contractors with features like ID badges, biometrics, and safeguarding tools. This section covers how it works, training, data storage, and more.

InVentry is an intuitive visitor management system, a digital register for schools and businesses, which replaces the need for a paper-based process.

Managed through a 19-inch touchscreen, our industry-leading software incorporates a webcam, ID badge printer, facial recognition, biometrics and DBS checker to create a secure and cohesive system to manage staff, students, contractors and visitors.

Yes, once one of our certified engineers has completed your InVentry installation, full training will be provided onsite.

If you only use the InVentry onsite service your data stays on your system, but shouldn’t require a large amount of storage.

If you use other services such as the support desk, your data is stored securely on the cloud and will not take up valuable room on your server.

We are committed to helping you fulfil your GPDR needs, so much so, that we actually have a whole section to answer your questions on the storing and use of data.

Yes, not only does InVentry incorporate a DBS checker, it helps you manage those on your system, ensuring your school complies to Ofsted regulations. Not only can you sign in DBS checked visitors with one click, you can upload multiple DBS records and will also be notified when DBS checks are due to expire.

If there are any technical issues with the system, or you have any questions, please contact our Support Team via: support@inventry.co.uk or call us on 0113 322 9253 (option 3).

Yes, through the InVentry system, you can track everyone on the premises at all times.

Of course! We encourage you to use your InVentry sign in screen as much as possible to determine the nature, characteristics and functioning of the system. You must keep the system in the same condition as it was when installed. Fair wear and tear is expected, but we’ll need to charge for any new damage caused whilst the system is in your care until it is collected by our engineer.

If, on collection, the system is not in a returnable condition, as described above we are entitled to charge you up to value of the system if it is not fit for reuse as a result of excessive wear or any damage it has been subject too. We reserve the right to charge you:

  • For the cost of the repair required to make the system ‘good as new’
  • The full price of the system (not including any additional license costs) should repair not be possible.

We will remove your InVentry system from site, on completion of all pre-removal requirements and no longer than 35 days from installation, all items which it was responsible for the installation of, up to and including all items listed on the invoice issued by InVentry.

If you paid for the system in full or using a split payment scheme, you will receive the Purchase Price of the system, or the amount paid to the Company under the split payment to an account nominated by yourself. Where the purchase is made via an InVentry reseller, any credit and refund will be issued by the reseller.

Any repayment will not include ‘bespoke’ items created as part of the installations, such as permenent ID badges and kiosk branding. Return of payment will be undertaken 60 days from the date of installation.
