About Kinetic

Kinetic was founded in 1998 with one aim: to develop the most innovative software to help university accommodation and conferencing teams deliver the best student and customer experiences possible.

Fast forward 25 years, and we are now the technology partner of choice to the worlds' leading universities, colleges and accommodation providers.
We are ranked #1 on the APUC framework for student accommodation management, conferencing and events management, and multifunctional management systems. Our big hairy audacious goal (BHAG) is to achieve £50m net revenue by 2032 and for every person in a university to experience a Kinetic product.

We supply mission-critical software for over 350 customers worldwide, and we are trusted partners to over 80% of universities in the UK!

Since 2015, Kinetic has been part of the Volaris Group. Volaris help strengthen and grow vertical market software companies so, like Kinetic, they become leaders in their industry.
