Brisbane software vendor buys Locatrix Communications in IoT push
“We have known the Locatrix team for over 10 years, and we were greatly impressed with their capabilities in mobile and geospatial applications development while partnering with them on a project basis,” CSS chairman and chief executive officer John Hummelstad said.
“As a strategic acquisition this team dramatically broadens our ability to deliver scalable, enhanced mobility and location-specific software solutions to our customers.”
CSS will also be able to accelerate its internet of things (IoT) capabilities through the acquisition. Locatrix has experience developing and integrating Smart City and IoT solutions for Telstra and urban councils throughout Australia.
“CSS is focused on helping our customers, and emergency services partners, create overall safer environments – whether it’s in a commercial building, a campus, or a city precinct. Accelerating our IoT capabilities with Locatrix brings forward our ability to deliver technology-driven ‘Safe City’ solutions – that improve preparedness, compliance and post emergency response capabilities,” Hummelstad added.
