Safesmart is a UK-based provider of fire safety and health & safety compliance software. Their flagship platform, Smartlog, helps organisations across sectors — including education, retail, and facilities management — streamline their risk management and meet statutory safety obligations.
Background
As Safesmart’s client base grew, the business needed a reliable IT partner to support its expanding operations. With increased demand for technical support and evolving compliance requirements, Safesmart looked for a local, hands-on provider who could understand their business and scale IT systems accordingly.
Challenges

Need for improved system resilience and flexibility

Rising hardware and server maintenance costs

Compliance goals requiring stricter information security controls

Telecoms Support
We maintained their communications systems to ensure reliable, uninterrupted connectivity across offices and remote users. -

Our team played a key role in supporting Safesmart’s successful attainment of ISO 27001 (Information Security) and ISO 9001 (Quality Management). We ensured their IT infrastructure met the strict standards for security, process consistency, and data handling. -
