Grosvenor Technology wins major European Partner Contract

Newmark Security plc (AIM: NWT), a leading provider of electronic and physical security systems, is pleased to announce that Grosvenor Technology, its UK based security and attendance solutions provider, has won a new contract with a leading European workforce management provider.

Under the contract, Grosvenor Technology will provide a Linux based OEM variant of its GT-10 workforce management terminal in addition to a range of cloud based support services on a Software as a Service (SaaS) basis. Grosvenor Technology will also provide an OEM variant of its Sateon Advance Access Control Hardware, to work with the partner's existing software platform.

The customer funded development work in the contract, itself worth EUR190k, is being conducted in Newmark Security's current fiscal year and revenues for the products and services are expected to come on stream in the second quarter of 2018. The contract value is expected to be around EUR3m over a 5 year period (being the initial term of the contract).

Marie-Claire Dwek, CEO of Newmark Security, said:

"This contract is another example of our overarching strategy of growing recurring revenues beginning to bear fruit. We have invested significantly in developing both Sateon Advance Hardware and the GT-10 terminal so it is particularly pleasing to see both these products being adopted by this partner."

Andy Rainforth, Managing Director of Grosvenor Technology, added:

"This contract is similar in complexity to several we are currently negotiating as we increasingly have conversations with major Human Capital Management solution providers seeking supply partners whose differentiation strategies are aligned with their own.

Our tailored 'custom build' approach allows our partners to add greater value downstream, as we provide a hardware and support solution to meet their specific needs. This approach makes Grosvenor Technology unique in a market of generic and commoditised hardware manufacturers.

In this case, the client preferred the industrial design of our GT-10 Android based terminal, but recognised the advantages of the hosted SaaS services that we provide within our Linux based terminals' eco-system, so we are developing a hybrid solution specific to their requirements.

We are also delivering an integration to allow our Access Control hardware, which up to this point has only been available on our proprietary Sateon platform, to communicate with their in-house Access Control software."
