Totalmobile, a provider of field service management software, has acquired Gartan Technologies, a rostering and workforce management company headquartered in County Donegal, Ireland.
By integrating Gartan’s expertise in Fire & Rescue Service rostering and compliance software solutions, Northern Irish firm Totalmobile says it now has the most comprehensive range of rostering solutions tailored to the unique demands of all the Emergency Services, including Fire, Ambulance, and Police organisations.
Adding these capabilities will further enable customers to optimise workforce planning, improve resource allocation and ensure critical response times.
For over 25 years, Gartan has been a market leader in Fire and Rescue Service worktime management solutions and is a trusted partner to Emergency Services organisations across the UK and Australia.
Serving 50 organisations and over 30,000 users, Gartan’s solutions are renowned for their reliability and ability to enhance resource management and operational efficiency for key customers, including Lancashire, Scottish, Greater Manchester, Dublin and Northern Ireland Fire & Rescue Services and Fire & Rescue NSW, Australia.
The acquisition also accelerates Totalmobile’s ongoing international expansion. With established operations in Ireland, the UK, and Australia, Gartan’s presence strongly aligns with Totalmobile’s growing global footprint across the UK, Australia, and the Nordics.
“We are thrilled to welcome Gartan Technologies to the Totalmobile family,” said Phil Race, CEO. “Their expertise in rostering and workforce management in the fire services dovetails perfectly with Totalmobile’s existing capability across the ambulance & police services.
“It has a strong alignment with our mission to deliver innovative solutions that empower our customers. Gartan’s highly-skilled team and cultural values make this a natural fit, and we’re excited about the opportunities to collaborate and grow together.”
Malachi Eastwood, CEO of Gartan Technologies, added: “Joining Totalmobile marks a positive step forward for Gartan. Our shared commitment to innovation and customer success ensures this partnership will drive growth and value for our customers. With the backing of Totalmobile’s resources and expertise, we’re excited to enhance our offerings and reach new markets.”
Totalmobile’s investment partner Bowmark Capital played a key role in the deal, its fourth acquisition in recent years.
