OREANDA-NEWS. ServicePower Technologies Plc (AIM: SVR), a market leader in field service management technology, today announced that it has signed a strategic partnership with Concirrus Ltd., a leading Internet of Things (IoT) solution provider.

Concirrus, named as a top 10 PAAS (platform as a service) UK company by Cloudscape, and as a Cool Vendor in the Internet of Things 2015 by Gartner, is a leader in the IoT market. Its unique cloud-based Connect platform enables customers to gather and analyse IoT data and use it to improve, disrupt and create innovative businesses and processes.

The partnership creates one of the first to market cloud-based IoT solutions for the insurance sector. Data is collected by the Concirrus IoT platform, where it is instantly analysed and issues identified. These are then reported to the ServicePower's industry leading field service management software which simultaneously schedules an appointment for the insurance adjuster, re-optimising the daily schedule appropriately. The software simultaneously sends the adjuster a detailed report to a handheld device enabling him or her to quickly respond and arrive fully prepared.

Andrew Yeoman, Chief Executive Officer, Concirrus, stated "The Concirrus IoT platform is unique to the industry. We provide a complete cloud-based solution to our clients which removes the complexity of IoT and delivers it as a simple service. ServicePower provides us with the last critical step in providing an end to end solution for businesses, particularly in the insurance sector which is adopting IoT and machine to machine (M2M) technologies at a growing pace, to improve efficiency and reduce fraud. ServicePower's solutions provide the optimised routing capable of handling intra-day changes and complex skills sets, combined with the ability to send schedules and reports generated by our platform."

Marne Martin, CEO, ServicePower, stated "This is an exciting strategic partnership for ServicePower which further validates our growth strategy, integrating our technology with those of an innovative vendor partner to extend our functional capabilities, as well as enhance global sales and execution. Adding IoT capabilities to the optimised routing and mobile dispatch services that ServicePower's clients have enjoyed for over a decade will enable them to take their own service delivery to exciting new levels of customer service. Moreover, the combined technology can extend to industries beyond the insurance sector, creating further future value for our shareholders."
