Xmbrace partners with RAC to support mobile workforces

RAC Software Solutions, the asset and fleet management software provider, has teamed up with Xmbrace to bring its advanced planning and scheduling capabilities to Servitor, the market leading asset management system.

The Servitor system is a business management tool which can be used to manage building repairs, highways maintenance, grounds maintenance, refuse collection, street cleansing, building cleaning, gas servicing, resource management, service desk and customer survey along with many other functions.

Xmbrace has introduced Opti-time, real-time scheduling software, to the UK and has specifically focused on the needs of the social housing repairs and maintenance sector, which is to facilitate the booking of appointments for tenants, enabling efficient use of labour resources and minimising travel time.

Opti-time is currently being implemented in two local authority housing and building maintenance operations, and has now been offered to the entire Servitor user base as an additional module.
David Todd, CEO of Xmbrace, said that 'RAC Software Solutions is the ideal partner. With the size and strength of its user base in our target market, and the introduction of mobile communications to Servitor II, there is an excellent functional and technical fit. This has been helped by RAC Software's commitment to partnerships.'

Mike Bailey, Director of the Servitor division of RAC Software Solutions, added 'we are very excited to be able to offer Europe's leading automated scheduling software to our existing and potential clients. Whilst the opportunity is greatest in housing maintenance, we can see benefits for all types of mobile operations supported by Servitor, and for users of Tranman, our fleet management solution.'
