Wrapping up a successful 2024 ahead of the new year

To sign off this year, we thought it would be fitting for our Group Product Director, David Simpson to share a word on what's been a really exciting and successful 2024:

Hello, I’m David, Group Product Director at Drax Technology. As we approach the end of 2024, it’s a perfect time for us to reflect on what has been a remarkable year. Together, we’ve achieved some incredible milestones, and we wanted to share some of those with you ahead of moving into 2025.

 

One of our standout achievements in 2024 was the successful launch of SafeVue earlier this year, which serves to connect service professionals, responsible individuals, and building compliance requirements within the industry in a single application. We have also taken this a step further by introducing our innovative weekly testing solution, which allows customers to effortlessly schedule their testing routines and automatically verify that testing has been completed across their portfolios. This significantly simplifies the capture of fire safety and compliance data (like weekly call point testing). Our solution offers a comprehensive view of both tested and non-tested devices, empowering users to create efficient testing plans tailored to their buildings. Furthermore, we proudly launched the much-anticipated latest version of our AMX visual fire alarm interface system, underscoring our dedication to pioneering technology in fire and life safety management.

 

Looking back to January, we unveiled our new website, providing our customers and technical partners with a comprehensive hub for support and resources. This platform has become an essential tool for our growing community of users and partners.
