Global software provider for asset-intensive industries Quartex Software has made two acquisitions that build out its workforce management and health and safety solutions.
The company has acquired Journey Management System (JMS) and Fly2Work from Australian vendor Ionyx, which further extends the company’s portfolio of software solutions targeted at empowering high-risk, asset-intensive industries.
JMS is designed to increase protection for drive-in, drive-out (DIDO) workers and solo operators in remote and harsh environments by allowing automatic notifications from their phones when they pass through geofenced checkpoints with integration to in-vehicle fatigue tracking cameras, geolocating devices, and satellite connected handheld devices.
Fly2Work connects planning, site access and compliance, rostering, commercial and charter travel, canteen, cleaning, and accommodation for remote sites all in one place, and is used by some of the largest and most complex workforces in the world, including BHP (ASX:BHP) subsidiary BHP Minerals Americas, which uses the software to handle the logistics of 52,000 staff.
Quartex CEO Craig Charlton says the acquisitions strengthen the company’s governance, risk, and compliance (GRC), and public disclosure and reporting to the customers of the acquired products and organisations.
“These deals fit perfectly with our mission to provide the indispensable tools our customers need to move and house their workforce, protect people and places from harm, and reduce their risks of operation”
The CEO adds the deals also mark the next phase of growth for Quartex, which now has more than 250 staff across six continents, and helps support its expansion into new markets.
“These deals fit perfectly with our mission to provide the indispensable tools our customers need to move and house their workforce, protect people and places from harm, and reduce their risks of operation,” Charlton says.
“Together they build on our existing strengths in workforce management and health and safety and give customers new options for moving and managing large, remote and mobile workforces.”
Based in Australia, Quartex was established more than 20 years ago as INX Software and after the acquisition of K2fly in 2024, it rebadged as Quartex – a name it says reflects its four key customer commitments and four fields of focus.
Quartex is also part of Accel-KKR’s $19 billion portfolio of software and tech-enabled companies.
