EXACTRAK SIGNS PARTNERSHIP AGREEMENT WITH YOTTA (20th July 2020).

Opportunity with a London Borough Council acts as catalyst for new alliance.

Leamington Spa – 20th July 2020 – Hi-tech weighing and vehicle telematics provider, Exactrak (part of Avery Weigh-Tronix) has signed a partnership agreement with asset management provider, Yotta. The two companies will work together to deliver enhanced vehicle tracking for local authorities, initially in the UK, and later, more widely across Europe.

With Exactrak hardware fitted to waste collection or maintenance vehicles, local authorities will be able to use Yotta’s connected asset management software, Alloy to visualise and share data from Exactrak’s route navigation and automated spreading solution, Navtrak and its dynamic routing software, Map-a-Route. Users will also be able both to display live vehicle tracking data and support enhanced collaboration between departments to create vehicle routes for all municipal applications.

Local authorities will be able to see exactly what work is being done and is completed, in turn enabling them to make smarter decisions across all their applications, that will include areas like gritting and the use of weighbridges, which councils have historically often managed in a siloed fragmented manner.

The initial driver for the partnership was a joint opportunity with a London Borough Council. The council was already using software from both Yotta and Exactrak and wanted to benefit from the enhanced data integration available between the new partners’ two solution sets.

Anique Bravenboer, Alliance Manager, Yotta, said: “Thanks to this partnership and the easy-to-use interface between the two companies’ software, we can add a new layer of functionality around vehicle tracking to our existing customer base. The synergy between Exactrak and ourselves should allow the partnership to reach not just UK customers but also a much wider international market over time.”

Mark Wilcox, Telematics Market Manager for the Innovation Division at Avery Weigh-Tronix said: “We immediately saw how well the two companies complement each other, not only in terms of their strong connections with council teams across the UK, but also in terms of skills and technologies. Working with Yotta helps ensure that we get in front of the right people within local authority teams.

“On the technology side also, Alloy brings great benefits,” added Wilcox. “It is a great tool in terms of its ability to connect assets, people and data across local authorities – but we were also very impressed with its visualisation capabilities. The way Alloy displays information pictorially really helps drive understanding and decision-making but it also helps us gain the specification requirements needed to ensure inclusion in public sector tenders.”

The partnership is well under way, with customers across the UK already using the combined Yotta Exactrak solution – and data taken from the Exactrak applications already being used in Alloy. The next steps are for both parties work together to build further on opportunities already established in the UK and further afield.

EPM Solutions and Yotta partner to deliver connected asset management to industrial and hazardous sectors.

Solution offering will enable customers to break down data silos and bring assets, systems and people together across a single platform.

Leamington Spa – June 2020 – Asset management engineering and technology company, EPM Solutions has announced it has signed a partnership agreement with asset management software provider, Yotta. The partnership will allow the two companies to draw on their complementary asset management technology, resources and expertise to deliver connected asset management solutions to industrial and hazardous sector clients across the UK.

Under the terms of the partnership, EPM and Yotta will work together to enable clients and prospects to build connected IOT networks, incorporating and connecting their plant and infrastructure assets. The solution offering will be based on Yotta’s next-generation connected asset management software suite, Alloy, but will also incorporate EPM’s asset identification, tagging and integrity approach, which is tried and tested across a wide range of sectors including; transport, waste management and oil and gas.

The new partnership will enable Yotta, which has traditionally targeted local authority and council customers, to draw on the expertise of EPM Solutions to expand its reach into new market sectors. At the same time, it will allow EPM to enhance its offering to existing customers and prospects across engineering, industrial and hazardous environments.

By enabling customers in these industries to monitor the condition of their assets by connecting with sensor devices, the use of Alloy will allow EPM to provide customers with the critical data they need to avoid catastrophic equipment failure or plant breakdown. It will also be key in helping deliver monitoring and measurement needed to ensure compliance with the latest industry regulations.

Gary Kerr, Founder and Managing Director, EPM Solutions said: “We were looking for a way of taking our baseline of software and technical asset management experience, that has held sway for so long in asset intensive industries, and deliver a truly joined up connected Internet Of Things solution that would allow customers across this space to start breaking down data and process silos, both driving efficiencies and using data more proactively to inform their decision-making. That is what working with Yotta and using its Alloy connected IOT asset management platform has enabled us to achieve.”

Anique Bravenboer, alliance manager, Yotta, said: “We are thrilled to have the opportunity to work with EPM and draw on their in-depth understanding and expertise of industrial and hazardous environments to bring our flagship Alloy solution to new markets. Our relationship with EPM is symbiotic. We complement each other well, and in the short time we have been working together we have already seen a great cross-pollination of ideas.

Moving forwards, the two companies are evaluating new markets that they could explore together but also looking at how they can best use technology to widen opportunities in existing markets.

Recent share price action not great. Let's see if it can bounce off the March lows.

Dip in profitability due to transitioning to SaaS model?

[bbluesky] 03/6/2020 17:29

What for me is so great about OMG is that is a truly futuristic company and if you are looking for one to exploit the new normal - just a matter of time before some online shopping becomes VR based?

From last week, good to see vr news.



Plus mining on Twitter.

Another excellent international contract win for Yotta in The Netherlands. Due to Covid - 19, which will unfortunately but undoubtedly be with us for a protracted period, there has to be a growing interest in the need to implement digital capabilities. Interesting times.

Like this a lot. Cash is king.

[tim1478] 29/4/2020 17:05

Share price bit of a fall today--tree shake?

[steved] 02/4/2020 19:13

Agreed. OMG though are hugely cash generative and well padded with cash. The business is well paced in several niche and exciting areas. Obviously growth this year will be affected but will present opportunities for well financed and smart companies like OMG. All things considered the share price has held up well and feel that the covid - 19 hiccup apart, there is much to look forward to.

[lignum] 02/4/2020 17:36

SteveD - good spot - why no RNS? This is turning into a nice business niche. No doubt they are suffering on the Vicon side (how much ? Downside on the VR side but unclear on sports and other) but slow, steady growth in Yotta is exactly what you need in times like this.

[steved] 02/4/2020 16:16

Yotta building nicely it seems, another good customer acquisition.

[nimbo1] 29/3/2020 08:16

assume this is being hit so hard (other than obvious wider market falls) because vicon must be experiencing a lot of timing delays etc to filming etc. Not sure how that impacts OMG in the medium term - hopefully not at all. have no visibility though.

Another interesting application for Alloy.

Catching up - good to see Aviva taking 3%+ stake.
By the by suspect it is going to be a mega Olympics - hopefully a VE Day type of celebration.

Vicon’s Capture.U adds live AR athletic tracking using Apple’s ARKit

Nice dividend payment

Another first for OMG and an extremely interesting development at that. Real time motion capture with AR capabilities for athletes.

Surprised this hasn't been RNS'd.

This is the second release linked to IMU Step in the course of the last week, with the introduction of a new Impact Load Metric feature launched on 26/02. See below:-

hxxps://imeasureu.com/2020/02/26/guide-to-impact-load-imeasureus-new-workload-metric/

Really feel OMG should be highlighting these potentially game changing new features by announcing them to the market? I'm aware that a widget to measure power is well into the development phase, which I find intriguing to say the least.

[rheumking] 26/2/2020 15:54

Likewise good to see the rebound - think its because its a good cash rich company that was unfairly taken down by the general market gloom. Dow now recovering too so hope the little panic is over but wouldn't be surprised by a few minor after shocks.
