Uniguest, a cybersecurity technology specialist in the secure operating system space, has acquired Onelan. Uniguest delivers market-leading solutions that assist customers in driving guest, shopper, and resident engagement in the hospitality, office retail, and community living industries respectively.
The acquisition will strengthen Onelan’s presence in the US. With clear synergies between the two customer-centric organisations, the acquisition presents Uniguest the opportunity to become a truly global company, with its customers able to access ONELAN’s leading digital signage and visual communications solutions as a natural extension to their current portfolio of products.
Advantages of the acquisiton
‘Uniguest is a natural partner for us as their Secured Advantage product goes hand-in-hand with our interactive signage solutions,’ Onelan Chief Commercial Officer Hugh Coghill-Smith said. ‘Both companies strive to bring the most value to our customers. We determined the best way to provide a seamless customer experience was to bring the two portfolios together as one offering.’
‘Digital engagement is something we see as a crucial component to the future of the industries we operate in,’ Uniguest CEO Jeff Hiscox said. ‘After doing a thorough review of the market, we realised Onelan’s solutions are best in class and our combined solutions will drive a new ‘digital infusion’ in the public use space of our customers.’
Future plans
For the near future, Onelan will continue to operate as a stand-alone business with its current team members out of the Reading, U.K. headquarters. Uniguest will add the signage offerings into its solution set, and the products will immediately be available to Uniguest clients.
