Honeywell acquires Sine Group

Honeywell on Tuesday announced that it has acquired Sine Group, an Australia-based software as a service (SaaS) company that provides visitor management, workplace and supply chain solutions that are accessible via mobile devices. Terms of the deal were not disclosed.

In a statement, Honeywell said Sine’s technology would support a cloud-based mobile platform for Honeywell Forge, the company’s enterprise performance management offering, as well as augment Honeywell’s Connected Buildings offerings with expanded safety, security and compliance capabilities.

In addition, Honeywell said it will also expand on Sine's features and solutions to make the company’s offerings available to more customers globally.

"Sine's innovative and intuitive self-service software, combined with Honeywell Forge, will enable our customers to return to work and help keep their employees and customers safe," said Que Dallara, President and CEO, Honeywell Connected Enterprise. "We will leverage Sine's technological know-how and expertise to create a mobile extension of Honeywell Forge while also substantially enhancing our Connected Buildings offerings to enable even greater levels of safety and productivity for building occupants and their guests."

Sine's mobile application enables touchless check-in by mobile phone across a wide variety of industries including commercial real estate, pharma, education, industrial, logistics, construction and others. Sine's SaaS solution provides companies with capabilities to help improve safety, security, and compliance across their facilities for visitors, building occupants and workers. Sine has also built a suite of features to enable organizations to manage their COVID-19 return-to-workplace protocols, including pre-screening, thermal camera integrations, capacity management and contact tracing.

"The combination of Sine's visitor management software and Honeywell's enterprise performance management software is a powerful one for businesses globally," said Antony Ceravolo, Founder and CEO of Sine. "Sine's solutions will bolster Honeywell's capabilities to help organizations operate more efficiently and safely. Sine will benefit from Honeywell's global scale and buildings management expertise. Together, with an accelerated roadmap, we will deliver a deeper set of solutions globally, while continuing to grow our ecosystem of partners and third-party integrations."
