Australian asset management software provider Smartpath is hunting for an office location and reseller partners in the UK to tackle the European market.
Phil Hare, partnering and marketing director at Smartpath, said he arrives to open its first UK office in March and source suitable partners. Interest is already being received from resellers, he added.
“The UK is a good market and a bigger market, compared to Australia. Australia is a broad and shallow market, because of all the various states [in the country], and can also be hard to service,” Hare said.

While Smartpath is still expanding in Australia, the company feels ready to spread its wings overseas, choosing the UK as a springboard for a Europe-wide push. Currently, Smartpath favours possible sites near Birmingham, Hare said.
He also plans to visit the Institute of Asset Management.
“We are on the lookout for partners that will help to generate interest and make my life a bit easier,” Hare said. “And we are looking really for specialists that know asset management.”
He claimed Smartpath’s Loc8 products are different in some ways to what is already available here and competitively priced. It offers web-based and mobile workforce management options.
Loc8 was deployed by St John’s Grammar School in Sydney in mid-2008.
Dustin Fisher, infrastructure and ICT manager at St John’s Grammar, said the school needed visibility into its asset and maintenance management to uphold safety standards while having access to a helpdesk system that was easy to use and improved overall efficiency.
“Schools are accountable for student and staff wellbeing so infrastructure and equipment must be well maintained,” Fisher said.
