Ahead of the CMD, the Company is pleased to provide the below operating update and confirms, that no new material disclosures will be made during the CMD event.

Continued ARR growth

ARR at 31 August 2022 was £18.8m*, up from £18.1m at 30 June 2022, with solid new business and monetisation across the Group driving the growth.

Beta release of DocDown and Quoters

Following product improvement and integration work over the course of 2022, the Group has now launched its beta programme for the form-fill and quoting capabilities acquired in October 2021 from DocDown and Quoters. 

Both integrated products are available on an opt-in basis to all 30,000 SmartVault users, with feedback being collated from a targeted cohort of confirmed beta customers to inform future product iterations and pricing. Following completion of the full launch, work will begin on integrating the products into Virtual Cabinet to offer the capability to Virtual Cabinet's base of nearly 45,000 users.

The DocDown and Quoters capabilities deliver an enhanced customer experience and meaningful time-saving productivity improvements, providing the Group with sizeable expansion revenue opportunity as average revenue per user improves.

SmartVault reseller partnership with Right Networks

SmartVault, the Group's fast-growing cloud document management and workflow product, has signed a three-year reseller agreement with US-based Right Networks, a vertical cloud service provider that offers the only intelligent cloud purpose-built for accounting firms and professionals.  Under the agreement, Right Networks will market and sell SmartVault to its substantial base of over 8,500 accounting firms, with commercial launch expected in late 2022.

The agreement with Right Networks enables SmartVault to establish a larger presence in its core market of small and medium-sized accounting firms in the US. This supplements SmartVault's highly scalable direct customer acquisition strategy and aligns the business with another "best of breed" brand in the strategically valuable US accounting market.

Virtual Cabinet integration and referral partnership with Turnkey IPS

Virtual Cabinet, the Group's richly functional document management platform for enterprise clients in professional and financial services, has built on its recent successes in the insolvency market and signed an agreement with Turnkey IPS, the UK's leading insolvency software provider, to become its preferred partner for document management. 

With an installed base of over 350 insolvency and restructuring firms in the UK and Australia, Turnkey is instrumental in many of the UK's most high-profile insolvency cases. With both on-premise and cloud delivery options, Virtual Cabinet is able to support the full spectrum of Turnkey customers, and build an integrated product that supports the productivity of the insolvency sector as it makes its transition to the cloud.

Daniel Rabie, CEO of GetBusy, said:        

"I am delighted that the momentum we established during the first half of the year has continued into H2. Further ARR growth through new business and monetisation confirms that we are winning in our chosen markets. The broadening of our channels and the release of complementary capabilities to drive expansion revenue demonstrates that we are executing on our strategy to drive long-term growth in high quality recurring subscription revenue. 

"We welcome Turnkey and Right Networks - each a leader in their respective markets - as valued partners within the best-of-breed ecosystem we're establishing to deliver the very best in productivity and user experience for our customers.

"The Board reaffirms its previously upgraded expectations for 2022 with a high degree of confidence."

*ARR stated at the same foreign exchange rates used at 30 June 2022.
