Business description

The company develops specialist software solutions for high-security, mission-critical, life safety and critical infrastructure organisations, with its primary product playing a role in standalone and complex site management. The software has been designed to integrate third-party building, fire,

security, safety and building technologies. In addition to providing the software, the company delivers ongoing support and training to its clients.
Over its years in operation, the company has integrated complex security systems for a diverse range of sectors, with clients including the Government, military, custodial, CNI sites, commercial and industrial organisations as well as various healthcare and educational institutions. Many of these clients have used the company’s services for decades, progressively configuring their assets onto its software.
Replacement of the software would require industry expertise and significant spending, as well as creating high business risk, meaning that current levels of business are not expected to decline.
The shareholders are offering the company for sale to facilitate the Directors’ retirement.
Offers invited.
