SMOKE ALARM SOLUTIONS IS MIGRATING TO AN ENHANCED CRM WITH THE HELP OF A NEW JOINT VENTURE WITH SMOKE ALARM TESTING SERVICES

Brisbane, [1 February 2024] – Smoke Alarm Solutions (SAS) and Smoke Alarm Testing Services (SATS) will take joint ownership over a new parent company Connected Property Services that will oversee the operations of SAS while they leverage SATS purpose-built technology and enhance operational capabilities. This collaboration between industry partners enables SAS to maintain its strong position in the market whilst leveraging the strengths of SATS CRM system to achieve operational efficiencies and enhance our value proposition to our stakeholders.

SAS will continue to operate with its legacy brand under Connected Property Services while SATS will continue to trade as its own entity. To assist with the phased transition of SAS onto an improved CRM and Field App, the SATS leadership team will oversee the management and migration. The collaboration will bring a unique synergy to the industry and foster advancements in smoke alarm services.

The board of the newly formed entity (Connected Property Services) consists of Paul Briggs (Current SAS CEO), Simon Tolhurst (Current SAS Board Member) and Richard Anderson (Current SATS Board Member).

Paul Briggs expressed his enthusiasm for the joint venture, stating, “After joining SAS two years ago as CEO, it became evident that SAS was a fantastic company, serving many loyal customers across Australia, but we continued to struggle with a software solution that was not fit for purpose. Due to the nature of the service we provide, and the ongoing needs of our customers, I set out to find a software solution that would carry the SAS brand forward into the future. After considering many options, we concluded that the best way forward was to join forces with SATS (Smoke Alarm Testing Services) to leverage their custom-built CRM system with our people, in a newly formed entity. I am excited about the changes and what this will mean for both our customers and staff and look forward to supporting SAS in my new position on the board.”

The formation of Connected Property Services represents a new chapter for the SAS brand, with the same skilled and knowledgeable people delivering the quality services our clients are accustomed to.
