Where people go. We get them there.
Envent builds digital wayfinding for the places people find hardest to navigate. Hospitals, shopping centres, civic spaces. Kiosks, mobile maps, and one cloud platform to run it all. Australian owned, Australian supported, 21 years in the field.
The values that drive everything we do.
Clarity
Trust starts with honesty. We say what a system does, what it doesn't, and how it works. We design and communicate plainly.
Compassion
The person at the kiosk is often lost, late, or worried. We design for them first. Calm, clear, human, in the moments that matter most.
Competence
21 years, 9 live hospital deployments. We know clinical workflows, procurement, and what actually survives years of public use.
Commitment
Australian owned, Australian supported. Every site we deploy stays live and supported by the people who built it. We don't disappear after install.
Accessible by design
Wayfinding fails the moment someone can't use it. Accessibility is built in from the first sketch, not bolted on to pass a checklist.
Proven now, intelligence next
Live systems today, real AI research tomorrow. Our Director's PhD work in AI ethics means we earn the future before we sell it.
21 years getting people where they need to be.
Envent began 21 years ago, when Justin Dean left the wayfinding and museum world to build something better. He started with the hardware, designing kiosks from scratch, including a robot-shaped book-finding kiosk for kids in a public library. Those machines got smarter, then connected. Today they run on Envent Cloud across nine major hospitals.
Two decades of machines in the wild.
Envent founded & 1st Kiosk
Our first project. Morgans Realty Virtual Office. Four modular workstations and signage cabinets forming an unattended "Virtual Office" for real estate in shopping centres. Lead generation that ran with or without staff.
First National rollout. 31 centres.
Stockland engaged Envent to design and deploy digital wayfinding across their entire Australian shopping centre portfolio. One partner. One platform. Thirty-one centres, nationwide.
Australia's biggest shopping centre.
Chadstone. 600+ stores. Colonial First State needed a directory that matched the centre's reputation. Envent built the highest-spec digital wayfinding kiosk on the Australian market at the time.
First Envent Enters Corporate. NAB HQ.
National Australia Bank selected Envent to build the wayfinding and room booking system for their national headquarters in Docklands. Our first major corporate client, and proof the platform scaled well beyond retail.
FIRST MOBILE APP. COMMONWEALTH GAMES SCALE.
Gold Coast Tourism Corporation selected Envent to build the wayfinding platform for the Commonwealth Games. One system. Outdoor kiosk, mobile phones, and hundreds of volunteer tablets. Our first mobile wayfinding app, deployed at a major international event.
FIRST GOVERNMENT TRANSPORT CLIENT. LIVE TRAIN DATA.
NSW Trainlink and TfNSW selected Envent to pilot digital wayfinding on the regional rail network. Real-time arrivals, journey planning, multilingual support. The first time Envent integrated live transit data into a kiosk platform.
NEW PLATFORM. ENVENT.CLOUD LAUNCHES.
After 25 years building wayfinding software, we rebuilt it from the ground up. Envent.Cloud launched as a unified platform, one login for maps, advertising, analytics, and tenant management. Queensland TAFE was our first client on the new system.
COMPASS V2. 15 YEARS IN THE MAKING.
Prince of Wales Hospital became the first site for the all-new Compass Kiosk. Dual 42" HD displays. Sleeker, smarter, and built for modern healthcare environments. Version 1 launched in 2008. This is what 15 years of field experience looks like.
FULLY INTEGRATED. KIOSK, MOBILE, PATIENT LETTER.
Peninsula University Hospital in Frankston is Envent's most complete wayfinding solution to date. A custom-designed directory, QR code mobile wayfinding, and patient letter integration, all running on one platform. Won through competitive tender against Lend Lease's shortlist.

THE NT JOINS THE MAP. DARWIN'S FIRST CITY WAYFINDING SYSTEM.
City of Darwin Council partnered with Envent to launch a Google-integrated mobile wayfinding map for Darwin CBD, the first of its kind in the Northern Territory. What started as a mobile-first play to boost tourism grew into a full kiosk deployment at The Mall, connecting visitors, locals and businesses across the city centre. Darwin now has the foundation of a city-wide wayfinding network, with plans to expand across the surrounding area.
AI that helps in a hospital has to earn its trust first.
Before we put AI in front of a patient, we're asking a simpler question: who actually trusts it, and why?
We run workshops with people of every age, background, and culture to learn what makes an AI assistant feel safe to talk to, then designing one around the answers. Not AI shipped first and fixed later. Researched first, built second.
It builds on real work. Our patented, design-registered SENTINEL technology brings AI to public spaces, facial recognition, people counting, safety alerting. The avatar is the next step: a friendly face that helps a lost visitor and hands off to a real person the moment it matters.
