Technoswitch’s appointment as a distributor for Nimbus Digital Solutions, a Halma company, forms part of the company’s strategic plan to expand its remote fire alarm monitoring and maintenance offering in Countries outside of its stronghold in the UK & Ireland.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Brett Birch, Managing Director at Technoswitch, says: “The importance of regular, effective, code-compliant maintenance for fire alarm systems cannot be stressed enough."
We have seen time and time again that once fire systems are outside their warranty period, minimal maintenance is undertaken, and even then, shortcuts are taken, leading to systems that are not fully operational.
One reason maintenance is often neglected is that service companies need to travel to the site, spend significant time on site testing, and then accurately document the work performed. The end-user does not fully understand the resulting costs.
Another reason is the lack of transparency for end users, which makes it difficult to verify whether the service provider is performing maintenance correctly.
Nimbus’s innovative Fire Alarm Management solutions streamline this process and ensure efficient, accurate maintenance and system commissioning are conducted to ensure compliance.
Nimbus will benefit from our extensive footprint in South Africa and sub-Saharan Africa, and our sales force will drive market penetration of the Nimbus product offering. In addition, we will be able to offer technical and after-sales support to existing Nimbus customers in the region.”
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Peter Martin, Business Manager, Nimbus, says ”Technoswitch’s appointment marks a significant step in expanding access to remote fire alarm monitoring and code compliant maintenance across South Africa and sub Saharan Africa.
Nimbus brings real time visibility to fire systems, a verifiable digital audit trail, and condition based maintenance workflows that cut unnecessary site visits, lower lifecycle cost, and improve system uptime and compliance confidence.
This partnership aligns perfectly with our mission to deliver transparent, data driven fire safety, from commissioning through ongoing service. We’re excited to work with Technoswitch’s experienced team to accelerate adoption of the Nimbus platform across the region.”
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------The Nimbus offering will be available from Technoswitch as of February 2026, with formal product launches across the country from mid-March 2026. Further details will be communicated shortly in this regard.
