Who we are

We're not just a platform. We're a team.

Behind every Inventory Base report, workflow and product update is a team of people who care about the property industry and the professionals working in it every day.

Practical

We focus on tools that help property teams get real work done faster and more consistently.

Approachable

Customers can speak to real people, visit our Portsmouth head office and meet us at industry events throughout the year.

Ambitious

We are building beyond traditional property reporting, with BaseAI, connected workflows and global opportunities.

Relationship-Led

The property industry is built on trust, conversation and reputation - and so are we.

Our mission

To help property professionals create clearer reports, capture better evidence and build more trusted inspection workflows.

Inventory Base exists because property reporting should be more consistent, more efficient and easier to manage - without losing the professional judgement, relationships and local knowledge that make the property industry work. We believe the future of property reporting is connected, intelligent and human-reviewed.

Better records build better relationships

Clear reports reduce confusion and help everyone work from the same evidence.

Technology should support professionals

Automation and AI should make skilled people faster, not replace their judgement.

Workflows should be connected

Inspections, reports, maintenance, client communication and audit trails should not live in silos.

The best products are built with customers

We listen, learn and keep improving based on how property teams really work.

Our home
