Has anyone else looked into Vault Intelligence? They operate in the Risk, Environment, Health and Safety (EHS) sector and offer software-as-a-service solutions to organisations looking to simplify and modernise their EHS processes.

There seems to be very few players in this area and a huge potential market.

Market cap of around $13 million and they have generated $2.729 million in revenue in the last nine months. Much of this is recurring revenue. They currently have $3.5 million in the bank.

They seem to be growing very quickly and gaining some real traction. Am starting to get very interested in VLT.

 

Just had a look after seeing you picked them in the June comp, looked cos i had no idea who they were or what they did and have to agree that the business has some potential, they have the runs on the board with some major clients and the Risk, Environment, Health, Safety at work thing is a growth sector, all those women uni graduates need something to do around the office..

Was surprised to see they are still burning cash even with all those clients..have added it to a speccy watchlist, i like software stocks, i did well with Aconex.

 

Yes, and anything that saves a business or organisation time and money will generally do well as long as it works like it's supposed to. And where there's little to no competition in a growth sector, that just means more revenue and better margins.

Yes, still burning cash but they're trying to get on top of it. This is from the last quarterly:

Last quarter they were only $343,000 in the red. With $3.5 million in the bank that gives them quite a bit of time to build up enough recurring revenue to get cash flow positive. If the below graph from their last quarterly turns out to be accurate, it should happen soon.

 

Its an interesting business, there is actually a lot of competition in the space though, a lot of it is opaque though. Bigger companies prefer to run their own bespoke EHS programs, as do Government orgs and Councils. Its also not a very sticky customer base, EHS goes thru fads and fashions and its easy for businesses to have a change in management who choose to use a new supplier for EHS templates and management systems.

Still its piqued my interest enough to keep and eye on it and see if it can grow a sustainable business. Probably an opportunity to develop the SaaS process to an integrated HR/EHS/Warehousing/production product.

 

My second last employer was very HR heavy, they were crazy for all this stuff and HR and people and culture all flows into safety and reporting and risk management, its a big thing now, and the big organisations can be sticky just because its so hard to change software, such a pain in the ass.

Ill have to see if i can find some videos, i want to see what it (Vault) looks like working..

 

Here's an Proactive Investors article from Monday containing a video interview with the CEO Dave Moylan:

You may be right, it hasnt been my experience though. When I worked for big mining companies like Rio, we would actually joke about EHS systems - every 6 years we would end up back with the same system. Middle management turns over very quickly, and they all want to bring their own systems so its a revolving door of software systems to support the process on site! Its a bit of a myth that changing software systems is hard or even expensive, and as more and more is cloud based is even less so.

I certainly agree its a big addressable market, big business has become well aware that cost savings in mitigating the liability risk in EHS issues is massive, the systems that are designed to shift all responsibility to employee from employer are most popular!

 

Hi all,

I’m always on the look out for saas/saas-like businesses as I think once you established they can be hard to dislodge if they’re run by capable management.
One question I’ve got and it relates to VLT and others is how does deferred/unearned revenue for which sits on the balance sheet as a n/c liability, usually, does that actually translate to cash in the bank?
In VLT’s case it was $0.9m as at December 2017 with about $3.5m classified as cash/cash equivalents on the balance sheet?

 

Vault Intelligence moving north today on the highest daily volume in the last 12 months. Currently up 22.73% to 2.7c. There have been no announcements since the Quarterly Report released on 26 July.

The sell side of the market depth looks to be thinning out. Something must be up. Not sure what though. My guess is either someone is taking a position in VLT or good news is imminent.

 

Interest in VLT has increased since my post on 17 August as can be seen by the increase in daily trading volume. Since then, the company has launched a new business product line, Vault Solo, and raised $5 million via a placement of 166.7 million shares at 3c a share.

Things seem to be progressing quite well for VLT and its share price is holding up nicely.
