KANSAS CITY, 6 June – Global workplace operations company, SafetyCulture, has today
announced a USD $2.1M investment into data and IoT software company, Inauro. This latest
investment continues SafetyCulture’s support of emerging technologies which enhance
frontline processes.
Launched in 2020 by co-founders Craig Kesby and Angus Kennard, Inauro was created to
realize the value of IoT technology across industrial applications and improve everyday
operations. IoT devices produce a vast amount of data but are typically siloed depending on
their function. By linking data from sensors, devices and other digital systems used within an
organization, Inauro provides teams with a single source of data, streamlining workflows and
enabling faster decision making.
Inauro has built a customer base spanning agriculture, manufacturing and construction, and
its flagship PerspioTM platform has been recognized by global award bodies, including an IoT
Global Award for Big Data and Analytics.
“The IoT market is thriving globally, but most IoT solutions are built to solve a specific
problem which creates data silos across organizations. We want to solve this challenge and
enable businesses to make the most of their IoT technology. At its most simple, we want to
make sure the right information is available to the right person in real-time. That’s when we’ll
unlock streamlined operations and create efficiencies,” said Inauro co-founder and co-CEO
Craig Kesby.
Kesby continued, “We’re looking forward to developing new functionality for our customers,
including identifying more workflows where Inauro and SafetyCulture’s solutions can
integrate to improve workplace operations.”
SafetyCulture CEO and Founder, Luke Anear said, “Today, SafetyCulture collects data from
800 million workplace checks a year, a lot of which are conducted manually. Inauro will help
us to automate many of the equipment checks for our customers. We’re constantly pushing
to find new ways to innovate and automate processes so tasks can be done to higher
standards, jobs become safer and teams can concentrate on the most meaningful work.
Inauro will be a key partner as we continue to raise the bar for frontline teams.”
Anear continued, “It’s always great to help drive forward businesses with similar goals to
ours. Through this investment, not only will Inauro be free to expand into new markets, but
SafetyCulture customers will also reap the benefits of taking their digitization efforts to the
next level.”
SafetyCulture is a global operations platform empowering teams to drive workplace
improvements. Its US customers include JetBlue Airways, Toyota, and Schneider Electric.
SafetyCulture acquired microlearning business EdApp in 2020, led a USD $6 million Series
A funding round for Unleash Live in 2021, and acquired lone worker safety app SHEQSY in
early 2022.
