SafetyCulture, a global workplace operations company, has invested $2.1 million in Inauro, a data and IoT software company.

The move reflects SafetyCulture's support of emerging technology that enhance frontline processes, according to a press release.

Launched in 2020 by co-founders Craig Kesby and Angus Kennard, Inauro represents the value of IoT technology across industrial applications and the capability to boost everyday operations. 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.

"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," Inauro co-founder and co-CEO Craig Kesby said in the release.

"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," SafetyCulture CEO and founder Luke Anear said in the release.
