The information management system can also be used for environmental management and life-cycle ground disturbance management processes.
K2fly’s other offerings fall into the mobility solutions, Internet of Things (IoT), smart grid and meters and asset management and solutions categories.

K2fly reports “record” financials, confirms CEO Brian Miller
“We had a record quarter last quarter for the quarter just closed,” K2fly chief executive officer Brian Miller told Proactive Investors a week ago.
“Got up to about $1.5 million invoicing. The previous (quarter) last year would have been in the high nine-hundreds, so more than a 50% increase.
“For the overall year, we were previously around the two-and-a-half mill mark for invoicing and we’re now up to nearly $4.2 (million), that’s give or take a 60% increase, so we’re happy with that.
“From a cash position we’ve got more than a million dollars in the bank at the moment and about $850k of Asia receivables and something like $50k worth of work in progress, so … very happy with the turnout thank you.”
