Strategic acquisition adds rostering solution for fire and rescue services to Belfast software firm Totalmobile’s fleet.
In a move that will further establish Totalmobile’s position in the emergency services sector, the Belfast business has acquired Donegal-headquartered Gartan Technologies for an undisclosed sum.
By integrating Gartan’s expertise in Fire & Rescue Service rostering and compliance software solutions, Totalmobile now has a comprehensive range of rostering solutions tailored to the unique demands of all the emergency services, including fire, ambulance, and police organisations.
“It has a strong alignment with our mission to deliver innovative solutions that empower our customers”
Adding these capabilities will further enable customers to optimise workforce planning, improve resource allocation, and ensure critical response times.
At the heart of the action
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. This strategic alignment strengthens Totalmobile’s ability to drive continued growth and extend its reach into both established and emerging markets.
“We are thrilled to welcome Gartan Technologies to the Totalmobile family,” said Phil Race, CEO of Totalmobile.
“Their expertise in rostering and workforce management in the fire services dovetails perfectly with Totalmobile’s existing capability across the ambulance and 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.”
For more than 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.
“Joining Totalmobile marks a positive step forward for Gartan,” said Malachi Eastwood, CEO of Gartan Technologies.
“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.”
