InVentry is trusted by more than 10,000 organisations and helps improve the efficiency of entry, and the security of any building. The InVentry Anywhere app acts as an extension of your InVentry Anywhere licence and allows the following functionality. Evacuation The evacuation tool is used to ensure that everyone is accounted for in case of an emergency. From the app, organisations can access a real-time copy of everyone who is onsite, trigger site-wide evacuations and account for all signed-in people across multiple muster points. Visitors Within the app, users can quickly pre-book their own visitors as well as see what visitors they have booked in for that day. When a new visitor is added via the app it also adds them to the organisations main InVentry system to speed up the sign in process when they arrive. Staff The staff element of the app allows users to remotely sign in and out of their organisation, using their device instead of using the InVentry touchscreen or ID card. They can also see at a glance who has signed in on that day. This is particularly useful if users quickly need to know if someone is onsite or not. Office Day As an additional feature to the Anywhere app, Office Day, allows staff to pre-book themselves into the office on a 14-day period, permitting them to choose when they wish to come into the workplace and when theyβre working remotely. Trips Available for education users, the trip management feature allows teachers to take limitless registers on school trips, whilst also displaying pupil information, such as medical records and dietary requirements.
