1Spatial plc
("1Spatial", the "Group" or the "Company")
UK Power Networks selects
1Streetworks software to revolutionise streetworks
planning
12-month contract signed for pioneering
SaaS product
Growing pipeline of 1Streetworks
opportunities
Addressable market for 1Streetworks in
the UK of £400m for low-speed roads alone
1Spatial, a global leader in Location Master
Data Management ("LMDM") software and solutions, is delighted to
announce that, following conclusion of a successful trial, it has
signed a 12-month contract with UK Power Networks, for its Traffic
Management Plan Automation ("TMPA") solution, under the
1Streetworks brand in the UK ("1Streetworks"). The contract will
deliver a minimum of £0.34m of SaaS revenue.
The 1Streetworks' cloud-based SaaS solution is
the first solution in the market to fully automate the production
of traffic management plans, diversion routing and asset inventory
lists and has the potential to fundamentally change the
industry.
There are over 2.5 million low-speed road works
undertaken in the UK per year. This is estimated to grow to four
million in coming years leading to a total annual addressable
market opportunity in the UK of approximately £400
million.
UK
Power Networks
UK Power Networks has 190,000km of cables and
delivers thousands of streetworks every year across London, the
South-East and East of England, to maintain safe and reliable power
supplies to 19 million people.
UK Power Networks successfully used
1Streetworks software in a Surrey trial to quote for and connect
small power connections for customers. It reduced the time
surveyors spent on labour-intensive streetworks design plans from
hours to just minutes, while continuing to meet the high levels of
safety and accuracy required under the regulations.
The average time taken to connect new or
altered power connections was reduced by a quarter across
approximately 300 roadworks sites where 1Streetworks was
used.
Paul Dooley, streetworks performance manager at UK Power
Networks, said: "Planning streetworks to the
high standards we expect takes time and few have tried to
revolutionise the process during my 23 years in the sector. So, I'm
excited about the potential of 1Streetworks to streamline complex
traffic management plans, enable better communication with
customers and highway authorities and improve the speed and
accuracy of streetworks plans".
Growing 1Streetworks
pipeline
The growth of 1Streetworks is expected to
positively impact 1Spatial's financial profile, with each contract
likely to command SaaS margins and be recurring in nature.
Investment in the cloud-based solution has ensured it is highly
scalable, allowing 1Spatial to take advantage of the significant UK
opportunity. The Company has a further four paid trials currently
in place, together with several additional paid trials due to
commence in the first half of 2024 across utilities, highway
authorities and traffic management organisations.
Claire Milverton, CEO of 1Spatial,
added: "We are delighted that our innovative
1Streetworks application has delivered such fantastic results for
UK Power Networks and its customers. We look forward to working
with Paul and the team to roll out the software further across the
network over the coming months. This has been a key milestone for
the company and a culmination of many years of work and investment.
The commercial validation brought by this contract is crucial in
driving adoption across the wider industry.
"We are
encouraged by current discussions with other major operators across
multiple industries, who have the same challenges in producing
traffic management plans.
"With our new
SaaS offerings, 1Streetworks in the UK and NG911 in the US, opening
up considerable additional growth markets opportunities alongside
our Enterprise offerings, we believe the opportunity for 1Spatial
has never been greater."
