Totalmobile makes first acquisition with Bowmark’s backing

GeoPal is currently used by over 200 organisations and 15,000 users, including Kier, Babcock and Dublin City Council. By providing a range of specialised capabilities such as mobile working and real time dashboards, GeoPal’s customers can increase profitability, productivity and health and safety compliance.

The acquisition of GeoPal by Totalmobile adds a specialised software as a service (SaaS) solution to the company’s end-to-end suite of field service management software. It will enable Totalmobile to cater to the needs of the construction, environmental and facilities management sectors. It also creates an opportunity to offer new products to the GeoPal customer base, providing them with a more specialised solution that can deliver additional business value.

Jim Darragh, CEO of Totalmobile, said, “This announcement comes shortly after Totalmobile secured significant investment from Bowmark Capital in October 2020. It marks the next step in the company’s acquisition strategy as it looks to continue and accelerate growth.

“More than ever, efficient and transparent remote working is essential for many key infrastructure and utilities organisations, and it is essential that systems are in place to manage the unique risks presented, to protect the health, safety and well-being of employees.

“With GeoPal we have acquired some of the most flexible solutions in the market for managing profitability, productivity and health and safety compliance. We look forward to welcoming their staff and customers to the Totalmobile family.”

“Demand for field services technology solutions is growing rapidly driven by the increasing digitisation of workflows, a rising population of mobile workers, greater integration of software ecosystems and devices, and an increased focus on productivity,” said Stephen Delaney, partner at Bowmark. “Totalmobile is uniquely positioned to capitalise on this opportunity. The expansion within the infrastructure and utilities markets represented by the addition of GeoPal marks a major step forward in the company’s growth strategy.”
