Totalmobile, a Belfast-based field service management software provider employing more than 400 people, has merged with Germany-based Solvares Group to create one of the most comprehensive international providers of field service and workforce optimisation technology, as reported by Belfast News Letter.

The merger follows investment in Solvares in December 2024 by Five Arrows and funds advised by Deutsche Beteiligungs AG, along with the subsequent acquisition of Totalmobile, which completed following regulatory approval.

The combined business will employ more than 800 people and support over 4,000 customers across Europe, the United Kingdom and Australasia. Clients span sectors including emergency services, health and social care, housing, facilities management, telecommunications, infrastructure, engineering, IT and logistics.

The merger brings together Totalmobile's Field First platform for field service execution with Solvares' workforce scheduling, planning and optimisation technology. The enlarged group said the combination will create a broad, AI-enhanced platform capable of supporting increasingly complex service delivery and resource management needs.

Phil Race, chief executive officer of Totalmobile, said this is a defining moment for Totalmobile and an important step in building a business with global scale, experience and depth in field service management software. He added that at the heart of Totalmobile is a customer-centric culture deeply focused on service provision.

Ivan Bagaric, chief executive officer of Solvares Group, said the combination marks a transformative moment for both businesses and the international field service software landscape. He added that over decades Solvares has built world-leading algorithms and products to optimise and plan resources.

Existing customers of both businesses will continue receiving the same products and support, with no immediate changes resulting from the merger.
