TSS Wins Digital Award at the 2025 Red Rose Awards

Recognising Innovation and Impact in the Industry

On March 13th, we were honoured to receive the Digital Award at the 2025 Red Rose Awards for our groundbreaking project management tool, F0CUS.

The Red Rose Awards is a prestigious Lancashire Business View magazine event to promote success and encourage trade within the county. This year, we were entered into the Digital Award category, a division for those who employ digital thinking, technologies, or marketing for clients who have met and exceeded expectations.

Over the past 12 months, F0CUS has significantly impacted the industry, transforming how projects and assets are managed. Developed by industry experts, F0CUS is designed to streamline workflows, enhance efficiency and provide real-time insights, helping businesses optimise operations across all contracts.

What is F0CUS?

F0CUS is a next-generation work and asset management platform, built to adapt to the evolving needs of modern industries. With its modular design, the system can be tailored to specific requirements, ensuring users get the right data at the right time. Each module functions independently while integrating seamlessly, creating a flexible and powerful management tool.

The Origins of F0CUS

The journey of F0CUS began in 1992 with ARM, a UK based utility company that worked with BT to manage thousands of jobs across vast networks of assets. Recognising the need for a centralised system to coordinate tasks efficiently, ARM developed WorkManager, the predecessor of F0CUS.

As ARM expanded, it evolved into Enterprise plc, the UK’s largest Utilities and Local Authority contractor. WorkManager played a key role in securing major contracts across StreetWorks, Highways Management, Waste Management, Parks & Gardens, and Housing Maintenance (including the UK’s largest MOD contract).

Drawing from over 150 years of combined leadership experience, TSS has since evolved WorkManager into F0CUS, incorporating cutting-edge technology and industry insights to create today’s award-winning solution.

Why F0CUS?

What truly sets F0CUS apart is its real-world foundation. Unlike other platforms, it has been developed by industry professionals who have firsthand experience in the field. This deep understanding of industry challenges ensures that F0CUS is not just another piece of software; it’s a lived experience.

Designed to evolve with industry standards, F0CUS continues to push the boundaries of innovation and efficiency, a testament to its recognition as an award-winning solution at the 2025 Red Rose Awards.
