SmartSpace SoftwarePlc strong pipeline of near term opportunities

Frank Beechinor, CEO of SmartSpace, commented:

“The second half of the year has started well and I expect to see the strong pipeline of near term opportunities develop into contracts over the coming months, particularly workspace management. The market continues to show increased demand for our products with businesses increasingly focusing on ways in which to optimise their corporate real estate. We have a growing list of new client engagements with live proof of concept projects and we hope to convert these into SaaS contracts in the coming months.

We are confident, that with our strong cash position, we will be able to accelerate the growth of the Company through our ‘buy and build’ acquisition strategy, as illustrated by the recent Swiped On acquisition, with a focus on successfully identifying the right targets which complement our ‘smart’ software proposition.

I would like to take this opportunity to thank our team for their continued hard work. The quality and commitment of our staff is our biggest strength as we move to this next stage of evolution of the business.”
