ComOps Limited (ASX:COM) has secured a five-year contract for its workforce management software, Microster, from the State Transit Authority of New South Wales (STA) which operates Sydney’s buses.
About $750,000 of the contracted revenue of up to $1 million will be booked in calendar year 2018 with the balance booked as recurring revenue out to 2022.
ComOps’ workforce management software is now used across Transport NSW’s trains, ferries and buses operations.
10+ year partnership with Transport NSW
STA operates 2,000 buses travelling over 300 routes in Sydney. It runs 15,000 services daily transporting more than 600,000 passengers to their destinations.
ComOps chief executive officer Chris Fydler said: “We are pleased to extend our scope of works with Transport NSW to now include Sydney’s buses, and it builds on our successful 10+ year partnership.
“It is also a great vote of confidence in the ComOps workforce technologies.
“It is encouraging to note that ComOps’ local development and support capability played a large part in enabling us to deliver to STA’s unique and exacting requirements.
Going live in Q3 2018
After using in-house systems, STA wanted to deploy an off-the-shelf software solution that delivered a robust award interpretation and rostering system for its workforce to ensure compliance with its complex awards and payroll system.
The objective of the Microster implementation is to strengthen business and process outcomes, reduce costs by lessening manual processes, improve payroll processing efficiencies and deliver more accurate leave management.
ComOps has commenced delivery of the contract to meet a go-live date in Q3 2018.
