Smartpath and Valorem Systems Asset Management Partnership Set to Clean Up

July 28, 2010 - PRLog -- Sydney, Australia -  Smartpath and Valorem Systems have joined forces to offer a complete site, asset and people management solution to the facilities, building and maintenance management disciplines.

The partnership of the two mature technology publishers will see both companies proactively extend the offering to their customer and prospect networks, and co-operatively bid for joint projects.

Targeting facilities management, property/cleaning/security services, hotels and hospitals, both Smartpath and Valorem through this joint solution help organisations manage facilities and assets from procurement through to disposal through a secure access-anywhere web-based system.

Valorem’s Saas Praxeo solution automates site processes and people management to simplify facilities management processes and enhance the efficiency of staff, contractors and services, while Smartpath’s web 2.0 Loc8 product tracks the lifecycle of assets, whether they are human, digital or fixed.

Available via SaaS or traditional licensing, Smartpath’s Loc8 enables companies to:

- save money by not repurchasing assets that already exist
- remotely manage field service staff and decrease invoicing times
- save legal and compliance costs associated with statutory reporting requirements
- assist companies to defer capital purchases for new assets
- manage asset additions, disposals and transfers
- control procurement and maintenance costs.

Valorem’s award winning solution Praxeo provides the following benefits to property mangers:

- Monitoring contractor company insurances
- Managing individual inductions
- Providing a range of automated alerts and reports based on site activity
- 24/7 remote site management and control

“We’re at the point in our product lifecycle where our technology is proven, and can be  added to other synergistic solutions to broaden the marketing offering and appeal to more potential customers,” explained Phil Hare, Partnering and Marketing Director at Smartpath. “Finding good, complementary partners, domestically and internationally, is a critical part of our go-to-market strategy, and we see this partnership with Valorem as a great step forward in achieving this strategy.”

“Loc8 provides us with a more powerful asset management tool with the addition of a strong maintenance feature that will integrate with Praxeo and assist us to round out our offering to the facilities management industry,” said Jon Tinberg, Managing Director at Valorem. “The Valorem product suite is now greatly enhanced with Smartpath Loc8 and we will be able to offer a comprehensive set of features around FM, which will include all asset, maintenance and  compliance aspects. This will greatly benefit those organisations responsible for managing building assets and mitigating the associated risks of contractor management. We anticipate strong take-up as it will provide our clients with expanded functionality across all of their site requirements.”
