idXtra in Glasgow!

Another month, another exhibition… this time we were in one of the world’s friendliest cities, and the largest one in Scotland – it was of course Glasgow!

We were there to exhibit at The Learning Places Scotland Exhibition and Conference at the SEC.

We enjoyed making new connections and catching up with existing ones!

Until next time, Scotland!

We take on the Education Estates Exhibition in Manchester!

This month we headed up north to a city famous for its railways and records… Manchester! This was where the Education Estates Exhibition 2023 was held.

We had a blast meeting idXtra customers old and new, and of course we set some time aside to check out what this buzzing city has to offer!

Thanks to everyone who came and visited us at our stand. We look forward to our next event!

idXtra at The Security Event 2023!

We had a blast at The Security Event 2023 in Birmingham! It was our first time exhibiting at this event, and we hope to return next year. We made lots of new connections and gave out more idXtra Business Bears!

The two Tony’s!

We had lots of interest in our Visitor Management System, VisiTapp, as it enhances safeguarding and security in any establishment. We can integrate our software with most existing Access Control systems, which makes upgrading to VisiTapp even easier.

Working hard or hardly working? 🙂

Keep an eye on our blog and Twitter for news of our next event appearances! We hope to see you soon.

idXtra at BETT 2023!

Spring has finally sprung, and this month we were thrilled to exhibit at the BETT Show again, for the first time since the pandemic!

It was great to see so many idXtra customers at our stand, and to meet some new ones too! Thanks to everyone who came and said hello.

Our new eye-popping graphics made a feature on our stand, highlighting our five main systems and emphasizing how they can all work together harmoniously.

We’ve got some special show offers on, which apply to VisiTapp, EventPOS and card printer bundles. These are here for a limited time only, so act fast if you’re after a great deal!

A few lucky visitors received a special idXtra ‘Business Bear’ – how cute!

Our next appearance will be at The Security Event 2023, from the 25th – 27th April at the NEC in Birmingham. We hope to see many of you there!

Farewell to 2022!

That’s another year almost over… it’s gone by in a flash hasn’t it?! As we prepare for the festive season and the new year, we reflect on the year we’ve had.

2022 has been a good one… idXtra’s highlights from this year include doing big installations at large college campuses, celebrating our 20th anniversary and taking idXtra global when we represented at Bett Show Brazil!

We are thankful to all of our customers, suppliers, friends and colleagues at idXtra who have made this year one to remember.

This year we have decided instead of sending Christmas cards, to make a donation to Shelter, the housing and homelessness charity.

With the current economic crisis, along with the freezing temperatures, we thought it was more important than ever to support those who are less fortunate than ourselves, and who find themselves homeless this festive season.

Shelter helps millions of people every year struggling with poor housing or homelessness through advice, support and legal services.

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to all… see you in 2023!

The idXtra Team

idXtra at The AoC 2022!

We were thrilled to exhibit at the AoC Annual Conference and Exhibition once again this month at the ICC in Birmingham.

The Association of Colleges is the national voice for further education, sixth form, tertiary and specialist colleges in England, and the AoC is the must-attend further education event of the year!

It was great to catch up with some existing idXtra customers at the event, and to make some new connections too!

This year we had a lot of interest in our attendance monitoring system, EventMarker. To find out more about it, please click here.

To find out about our visitor management system, VisiTapp, which can be integrated to work seamlessly with our attendance monitoring system, please click here.

idXtra takes on Brazil!

This month we have taken idXtra global, as we were represented at the BETT Show in Sao Paulo, Brazil!

Our representative, Munir, spoke to many suppliers and visitors at the event, as we hope to form some partnerships and distribute our products in this amazing and enormous country.

BETT Brazil, aka Bett Educar, is the largest education and technology event in Latin America. The event was held at the Transamerica Expo Center in Sao Paulo, Brazil, from 10th – 13th May.

We now also have a Portuguese website for idXtra Brazil; take a look!

idXtra celebrates its 20th Anniversary!

We are pleased to announce our 20th anniversary of being in business! As we celebrate this, we would like to thank all of our loyal customers, suppliers and staff for your custom and patronage over the years.

Without our loyal customers we would not exist, and we have gone from strength to strength with your support. We look forward to serving and supporting you in all the years to come!

Tony Walsh, Founder

A little bit of backstory about us… idXtra was founded on 28th March 2002 by Tony Walsh and Tarique Ahmad; how time has flown since then!

Initially idXtra focused mainly on ID card printing and software, but twenty years later we have expanded the team and grown, and we now specialize in an array of innovative technologies such as visitor management systems, cashless catering, attendance monitoring and access control systems.

Take a look at our old logo from 2002-2011; what a throwback!

Come and see us at the AoC Annual Conference & Exhibition 2021!

After eighteen months of no large events, we are delighted to be exhibiting at the Association of Colleges Annual Conference and Exhibition 2021 at the ICC in Birmingham!

The AoC exhibition is the must-attend further education event of the year and will run from Tuesday 16th to Wednesday 17th of November. We will be on stand F2 in the main foyer.

We look forward to seeing lots of our friends, customers and colleagues at the event!

We will be demonstrating our systems on the stand and giving out lots of information, plus idXtra pens and sweets!
