A Blackburn-based firm has expanded its platform’s capabilities by acquiring software tool Sitedesk.

Glider Technology’s information management platform will now benefit from the tool, which has been designed to digitally capture and manage real-world assets with intuitive 3D visualisation.

This will further enhance the abilities for estate operators to visualise assets, optimise maintenance and improve performance.

With over a decade of experience, Cheshire-based Sitedesk’s technology aims to enable organisations to digitally mimic their real-world environment to help them capture, visualise and manage assets and surrounding information.
