| Buyer fit (primary customers) | Enterprise and regulated industrial sites needing contractor/trucker pre-verification and multi-site compliance gating. | Primary and secondary schools requiring safeguarding-first sign-in, DBS/watchlist checks and vendor-managed installation. | Choose the left when your primary concern is enterprise-scale contractor/trucker pre-clearance, company-level access control and audit readiness across estates. Choose the right when your top priority is child safeguarding, on-site badge printing and a vendor- |
|---|
| Deployment model & vendor involvement | Positioned for enterprise rollouts with enterprise auth (SAML), APIs and role-specific portals; buyers likely lead integrations and hardware choices. | Managed installation, configuration and ongoing technical support paired with InVentry; vendor handles onsite setup and training for schools. | If you prefer vendor-led install and ongoing on-site support (lower internal IT lift), the right aligns better. If you need in-house control, custom integrations and enterprise auth, the left is a stronger fit. |
|---|
| Verification scope and depth | Pre-arrival, multi-layer identity and company verification (ID + selfie, company checks, 3rd-party databases) with credit-tier depth options (Light/Standard/Deep). | Safeguarding-focused vetting: photo capture, DBS workflows and real-time checks against the national sex offenders register. | Left provides broad enterprise identity and company compliance checks suited to regulated industries. Right focuses on person-level safeguarding checks required by schools and child-centred environments. |
|---|
| Visitor journey & onsite touchpoints | Pre-verification and QR-based gate or reception entry for fast throughput (cleared entrants ~20s); supports pre-registration workflows across profiles. | Touchscreen kiosk at reception with photo capture and printed visitor badges; pre-registration supported for contractors/volunteers. | If rapid gated throughput and pre-arrival QR workflows are required (e.g., logistics yards), left is preferable. For reception badge printing and a tactile kiosk experience tailored to school reception, right fits better. |
|---|
| Contractor & subcontractor management | Self-service contractor onboarding with automated document checks and company-level gating; can revoke access when company compliance changes. | Pre-registration for contractors and volunteers to speed repeat visits; emphasis on managing repeat school visitors but less explicit company-level revocation. | Choose left for complex contractor chains and employer-level compliance enforcement. Choose right for schools managing recurring contractors/volunteers where DBS/watchlist checks matter more than employer compliance revocation. |
|---|
| Evacuation & roll call capabilities | States estate-wide live visibility and downloadable tamper-proof logs intended to support evacuations and audits. | Provides fire evacuation lists and time-card/badge printing to support roll calls at evacuation. | Both provide evacuation support, but left emphasizes tamper-proof exportable logs for audit-focused sites; right emphasizes printed lists and badges aligned to school fire/drill procedures. |
|---|
| Access control & integration posture | Enterprise integration focus with SAML SSO, APIs and enterprise authentication for broader system integration and potential gate hardware linkage. | Integrated with InVentry and delivered as a managed kiosk solution; integration breadth beyond InVentry and APIs not publicly detailed. | If you need deep integration with corporate identity systems and gate controls, left likely maps better. If you want a pre-integrated, school-focused partner solution (InVentry) with turnkey kiosk fit, right is more aligned. |
|---|
| Hardware requirements and badge printing | Hardware described as optional kiosk; supports QR-based gate scanning and flexible hardware choices. | Uses touchscreen reception kiosk and printed badges / time-card printing as core hardware elements. | Choose left when you want flexibility to use existing gate hardware or QR flows; choose right when printed visitor badges and a dedicated reception kiosk are essential. |
