Synectics plc (LSE:SNX) has won £1.5 million of new business through its Ocular Integration division, strengthening its long-standing relationship with public transport operator Stagecoach and expanding the deployment of its cloud-connected surveillance technology across UK bus fleets.
The contracts include the installation of CCTV systems on new electric buses as well as retrofit projects on existing vehicles, further increasing the number of assets connected to the company’s cloud-based monitoring platform.
Electric Bus Rollout Drives Majority of New Orders
The largest portion of the award, worth approximately £1.1 million, relates to the supply and installation of CCTV systems on 190 new electric buses being introduced by Stagecoach under an extended five-year framework agreement.
A further £0.4 million contract will see surveillance equipment retrofitted onto 71 buses operating for another UK transport authority.
The projects are expected to be delivered primarily between the third quarter of 2026 and the first quarter of 2027.
Expanding Recurring Cloud Revenue
All of the vehicles covered by the contracts will be linked to Synectics’ Transport Cloud Services platform, enabling remote monitoring, data management and connected security capabilities.
The rollout will increase the number of vehicles generating recurring cloud-based revenue for the company, supporting its strategy of expanding higher-margin software and service income alongside hardware installations.
Management views connected transport infrastructure as a key growth area as operators increasingly adopt digital technologies to improve safety, fleet management and operational efficiency.
Long-Term Partnership Continues
The latest contracts build on a relationship between Synectics and Stagecoach that spans more than two decades, dating back to 2003.
The projects also support Stagecoach’s plans to transition its fleet to zero-emission vehicles by 2035, with surveillance and connectivity systems forming part of the operator’s broader investment in modern transport infrastructure.
The awards reinforce Synectics’ position in the transport security market, where demand for integrated CCTV, cloud connectivity and intelligent monitoring solutions continues to grow.
Focus on Intelligent Transport Security
The company continues to invest in technologies that combine surveillance systems, cloud platforms and real-time data capabilities to enhance safety and operational visibility for transport operators.
By integrating on-vehicle hardware with cloud-based services, Synectics aims to provide customers with more efficient monitoring, incident management and decision-making tools while creating a growing stream of recurring revenues.
