Collabro Signs Up ForgeTrack as a Re-Seller for the Legare Suite of Products

October 2011

Growing a business is something that many companies have to plan carefully, particularly if it involves geographical areas or sectors that the company is unfamiliar with.

Delving into something unknown can be a daunting and even risky prospect for a business if it lacks experience in that area, but that’s where linking up with another business that does have the necessary know-how can be very beneficial.

For Aberdeen-based Collabro, forging links with other companies is a key part of raising awareness of its software products. The specialist information systems business has just signed up its first reseller to help the firm make an impact in previously untapped markets with its Legare products, which integrate with planning and maintenance systems and allow users to extract, transfer and analyse data quickly and easily.

ForgeTrack, a Hertfordshire-based project management solution provider, has experience in and knowledge of the pharmaceutical, rail, utilities and construction sectors, which are planned areas of growth for Collabro.

Janice Grant-Shaw, managing director at Collabro, said:

"One of Collabro’s key focuses for this year is making our software products more widely known across a range of industries. It’s not just a question of having a quality product, it’s about having knowledge of the markets that you want to target and having the right contacts. Having already grown a significant client base in the oil and gas sector, we intend to replicate that success in the pharmaceuticals, utilities, construction and rail sectors. Whilst we possess the skills to create effective software solutions, ForgeTrack has the experience of selling in these markets. Combining the skills of both companies will be instrumental in meeting our business growth objectives for this year. Being able to take an outward looking approach to our business and recognising the expertise of other companies is a necessary step in growing the business."

Chris Loxley-Ford, MD at ForgeTrack added:

"Building a reciprocal business relationship with Collabro is one that will bring many benefits to both companies. Our 23 years of experience in reselling combined with the excellent reputation of Collabro’s Legare products, which have already been well-received in the oil and gas sector, will ensure that the venture is a successful one."
