About this update from Crimson Tide Plc
[{"type":"text","content":"\n Crimson Tide PLC\n10 December 2007\n\n\n \n Crimson Tide plc\n\n Contract Win - Knight Frank\n\n\nCrimson Tide plc is pleased to announce that it has reached an agreement with\nglobal property consultancy Knight Frank to provide its mobile data system,\nmPro. The new system will assist with the consultancy's facilities management\nand replace its current paper-based operation. As well as providing significant\ncost and time savings, it also closely monitors the progress of maintenance and\nrepair operations.\n\nThe agreement is for an initial pilot within a small number of Knight Frank\nmanaged properties with the potential to roll out the programme further in due\ncourse. The website/smartphone based system is used for tracking the repair and\nmaintenance of electrical, air-conditioning, plumbing, lighting, power and other\nfacilities within Knight Frank managed premises. The smartphone, website and\nservices are all provided on a monthly subscription basis.\n\nTenants report problems via phone or email to Knight Frank's helpdesk, where\nthey are delegated to one of a number of specialist contractors.

Our mPro system will enable the\ncompany's facilities management operatives to complete any scheduled and\nemergency task in a more timely and organised manner.'\n\nKnight Frank is the latest in a series of well-known brands and blue chip\ncompanies making use of Crimson Tide's mobile data systems.
