1Spatial (AIM: SPA) Announces Final Results for the year ended 31 January 2021

Data Management Solutions

1Integrate

1Integrate is our patented no-code rules engine – this continues to be enhanced to make it more powerful and more capable for automated data validation and processing.

During the year, the work to handle full 3D solid data has delivered initial Proof of Concepts. For example, we are working with a major National Mapping Agency on the production of their 3D buildings.

Additional data services support has been added to allow direct access to data from Esri ArcGIS Feature Services and Open Geospatial Consortium Web Feature Services as well as many enhancements to empower users and make them more effective and efficient. In addition, a number of enhancements have been made which extend the flexibility and efficiency of our delivery via the cloud.

1Data Gateway

1Data Gateway is our self-service web-portal for spatial data validation, processing and analytics. Following its successful launch in March 2020, 1Data Gateway now also provides schema mapping so that data in varying structures can be applied to the same set of rules as well as other controls such as the ability to apply customer branding and styling to the portal. API extensions which allow systems to talk to each other, have been completed to allow access to data quality, validation and usage statistics through external dashboarding tools i.e., Google Big Query, for partners or customers.

Business Applications

We provide two types of business applications to meet our customer’s needs. Applications can either plug directly into the 1Spatial Platform or alternatively can plug into the 1Spatial Platform whilst also utilising the benefits of the Esri technology.

1Biz Server

For those business applications built on Esri technology, we have developed, the 1Spatial Business Server (1Biz Server). By deploying the most up to date Esri and 1Spatial releases through the 1Biz Server, we will transform the speed and delivery of these updates to our customers.

We continue to assess opportunities to launch Business Applications, targeting specific location data-based issues within our three target industries. New Applications developed this year along with those that have been further enhanced are as follows:

1Water

We have scaled up work on 1Water for water network management based on our strong Esri partnership, which has enabled us to gain the Esri Utility Network Management Specialty designation.

Next-Generation-911

An exciting new innovation being worked on for our US Market is the Next-Generation-911 App. This provides validation of network data, address data and the National Emergency Numbers Association (NENA) to help emergency service departments, improve disparate or incomplete data, in order to create a single source of truth.

Traffic Management Plan Automation (TMPA)

The TMPA has moved from Proof of Concept, with a goal to have a release-ready Minimum Viable Product in FY 22 for beta testing with our customers and partners. This will be a true SaaS solution for automatically laying out equipment such as signs, cones and traffic lights around UK road works. It makes use of Ordnance Survey GB’s data hub and is built from the 1Integrate rules engine in the 1Spatial Platform. This solution will automate the production of traffic management plans in a more efficient, sustainable way and importantly help improve the safety of workers and the public around the 4 million highway excavations that are made every year in the UK*.

Cloud platform – SaaS multi-tenancy cloud platform

The cloud platform will enable us to increase our addressable market and existing customer demand for web-based access to our solutions, the need for which has been particularly highlighted by the move to remote working. The multi-tenancy SaaS will be more cost effective for 1Spatial as we will be managing fewer deployments and the elastic nature of the platform architecture will limit cloud hosting costs. We are also building targeted services and solutions on the platform which we can issue on a Pay-per-use basis such as TMPA, providing the Group with exciting new go to market models, lowering the price point for new customers onto the platform.

  1. Customer Relationships

    We continued to strengthen our relationships with our customers throughout the year by maximising webinar opportunities across all territories to overcome reduced face to face events. We held our annual Smarter Data, Smarter World Conference as a virtual event. Taking place over 4 days online the conference was a huge success with 652 registrations from 363 organisations in 47 countries, a significant increase on prior, non-digital events.

    We also implemented a global content strategy, increasing the amount of content we have issued online, and launched our new global website, with fresh, engaging content, aligned to our vision and values and great user experience. Since launching the new website, we have seen a considerable increase in online engagement, with sessions per user increasing by 43%, pages viewed in these sessions increasing 41% and the average session duration has increased 84%, demonstrating the increased relevance of our product offering and marketing messages to our target markets.

    The success of our customer focus, combined with ongoing transition to term licencing, can be seen in the 10% growth in Annual Recurring Revenue driven both by new customer wins and expansion of existing customer accounts.

    Land & Expand

    The Group delivered a healthy number of new customer wins in the year across all regions, including a number of strategic wins within our LMDM offering, with the USA performing particularly well. This was also good considering the backdrop of the first half of the year where customers were harder to secure, due to the uncertainty caused by Covid-19. We now have around 600 customers on recurring contracts and a customer base of over 1,000 in total across the Group, providing a strong basis for future expansion.

    Solutions most in demand in the year were 1Data Gateway and 1Integrate in the USA and the UK, with Utilities and Urban Planning (arcOpole Pro) Esri-based business applications being strongest in France and Europe. We are seeing an increasing number of coupled 1Data Gateway and 1Integrate sales, with the 1Data Gateway portal proving to be a compelling sales tool, enabling new prospects to quickly visualise how we can transform their data collection, cleansing and management.

    New clients added in the year included the Environment Agency in the UK, the US Geological Survey and the State of California’s Office of Emergency Services in the USA and in France, a French military organisation, the Seine Grand Lacs (the Seine River Management Agency) and the city of Asnières sur Seine.

    The Group secured multiple customer expansion contracts in the year, with notable expansions with Northern Gas Networks in the UK, a $2.6m 5-year contract with the State of Michigan to deliver the second
