Stratatel Limited Appendix 4E Preliminary Final Report
The Softlog.Enterprise[TM] product suite is focused on cost recovery for the legal and accounting markets whilst further research and development has been conducted to provide a disbursement expense management solution for the corporate market.
The FleetManager[®] product suite manages all asset and expense management solutions developed or acquired including MobileFleet[®] , Infratel[®] , AutoManager, Pool Car Manager, OnTrac and importantly the modular application FleetManager, which provides users with a single web-based application to manage a range of assets and the related expenditure.
Significant research and development effort has been conducted in identifying new and innovative software solutions to maintain Stratatel‟s market leading position, a number of which will be announced to the market in the coming months.
The Company’s Software Solutions
FleetManager[®]
The FleetManager product suite incorporates the FleetManager[®] system, the company‟s „best of breed‟ web-based asset and expenditure management solution, harnessing the functionality from the existing MobileFleet[®] system and integrating these with a more powerful and flexible database structure allowing for the addition of new asset classes such as credit cards, fuel cards, taxi card expenses etc.
Whilst the complete FleetManager[®] solution remains in development the mobiles, fixed line and taxi card management modules were completed and deployed in the 2007-08 financial year, earning nearly $1.17m revenue (2007: $850k)
The FleetManager[®] Value Proposition
FleetManager[®] is designed and built with a ‘One System, One Password, For Life’ ™ approach, enabling an organisation or government agency to seamlessly manage all of their assets and related expenditure in one easy to access system, dramatically reducing administrative and processing costs and providing corporate governance visibility on how these assets are used.
Phoneware
On the 1[st] May 2008 the acquisition of the business and assets of Phoneware Communication Systems Pty Ltd, a company specialising in the provision of Call Accounting and Directory Services (CADS) software, was completed.
Phoneware‟s CADS[® ] suite of call accounting software solutions have been successfully used in the Australian market for over 15 years, has solid recurrent revenue, including revenue derived from major Channel Partners, and compliments Stratatel‟s objective in the marketing and provision of asset and expense management solutions. Stratatel took full control of Phoneware on completion and will provide a strong platform for future growth through the continued support of existing solutions and the development of additional features and functionality, adding to the Stratatel product range.
In the two months since acquisition to 30 June 2008 Phoneware provided revenue of $553k.
Softlog.Enterprise[TM]
The acquired Softlog business is one of Australia‟s most experienced software developers of cost recovery solutions for the legal and accounting markets.
Since 1986, Softlog has been designing and building their extensive suite of integrated expense management and cost recovery solutions. This commitment to being a market leader is best demonstrated in the current Softlog.Enterprise[TM] suite of fully integrated industry-standard modules that eliminate the need for “proprietary” or “dedicated” systems. Instead, the multi-modular Softlog.Enterprise[TM] allows firms to take charge of their own activities and apply the power of the very latest industry-standard workstation technology for seamless, automated cost recovery.
There has been a continued development of the softlog.onboard[®] application, an embedded software solution that resides directly on the Multi-Function Device (MFD) (photocopier / fax / scanner) used in many professional firms.
It is this kind of innovation that has enabled Softlog to achieve international success, with new customers in several countries around the world also enjoying the benefits of Softlog‟s expense management and cost recovery solution.

The Softlog Value Proposition
Softlog.Enterprise[TM] and the innovative and unique softlog.onboard[®] solutions provide Softlog clients with the tools to recover up to 80% of their disbursement expenses, providing a rapid return on investment.
Softlog.Enterprise[TM] , like FleetManager[®] is a modular software application that can be tailored to accurately and simply assist clients recover disbursements using one or more of the following modules: Copy, Fax, Phone, Print, Email, Scan, Network and Sundries.
Business Structure
To efficiently and effectively support the FleetManager, Softlog and Phoneware businesses the company has divided the business into divisions to better support current and future requirements, also providing for future growth. An outline of the Stratatel structure can be seen in the diagram below.
