SUCCESSFUL LAUNCH IN SOUTH KOREA FOR SWIPEDON

 

Continues international expansion through Asia and Far East

 

SmartSpace Software Plc, (AIM:SMRT) the leading provider of 'Integrated Space
Management Software' for smart buildings and commercial spaces - 'visitor
reception, desks and meeting rooms',  is pleased to announce the successful
launch of SwipedOn's SaaS visitor management platform, in South Korea.

 

Key highlights to launch in South Korea

 

·         Key step in broadening addressable market in Far East with
launch of SwipedOn in South Korea

·         Enhanced multi-language variant of the SwipedOn platform
released after 18 months of development

·         This launch includes full Korean version of SwipedOn supported
by a Korean website, an in-country marketing campaign and with local language
pre-sales and support

·         The enhanced SwipedOn platform will allow rapid deployment
into other new markets in local languages, with deployment possible in weeks

SwipedOn currently has clients in 8000 locations and over 70 countries
globally. Until this release SwipedOn was only available in a standard version
which is predominantly in English but with capability to translate the
'front-end' user interface into local languages. The back-end administration
tools in SwipedOn have only ever been available in English and pre- and
post-sale customer support has only ever been offered to customers in English.

This launch is the first step of an initiative to broaden the addressable
market for SwipedOn and grow the customer base in new geographic markets.
Korea is intended to be the first of a number of localised releases in
different countries in the Far East.

It has taken 18 months of development to ensure the functionality in the
SwipedOn platform is fully multi-language, multi country and multi-location
ready.

To support the launch Korea there is a localised website
https://www.swipedon.kr (https://www.swipedon.kr) , along with a range of
localised marketing collateral. The launch is supported by an in-country
marketing agency with a digital marketing campaign that will focus on Naver,
the dominant search engine in Korea.

Commenting on the announcement, Hadleigh Ford, MD of SwipedOn said:

"We are delighted to now have completed what has been a mammoth engineering
task to create this new release of SwipedOn, that allows us to rapidly deploy
local language versions into new markets. The intention is that Korea will be
the first of a number of new markets we intend to enter in the Far East. We
will learn from the Korea launch and apply this for other markets, with the
intention of creating a 'cookie cutter' model for new market entry.

 

We do not intend to open offices or increase overheads with this launch, as
the product and localised campaign will be managed entirely by our existing
teams.

 

This is a very exciting development in the next stage of the SwipedOn growth
story"
