BURLINGTON, Massachusetts, November 11 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- ClickSoftware Technologies Ltd. (NasdaqCM: CKSW), the leading provider of mobile workforce management and service optimization solutions, today announced four new reseller wins for its mid-market field service management solution. ePartners, Inc., HickoryTech Information Solutions, MACS and TSI are valuable additions to ClickSoftware's Channel Partner Program - a program focused on enabling partners to sell and implement a comprehensive field service management solution (ClickIMRS) geared towards service organizations with between 50-500 field employees. ClickSoftware Channel Partners have recognized the gap in the market that ClickIMRS addresses and are selling and implementing this solution. ClickIMRS is the industry's first affordable, comprehensive field service management and optimization software that can be deployed in less than 70 days. Previously, mid-sized companies with up to 500 field resources were forced to choose between rudimentary manual/paper-based systems that often led to scheduling problems and enterprise software they couldn't afford. ClickIMRS bridges the gap, enabling these companies to increase jobs per day, ensure on-time arrival, reduce time per job, minimize travel, respond to emergencies more efficiently and strengthen customer relationships. "Developing strong relationships with well-focused partners is a key strategy to growing our business," said Zvi Piritz, Senior Vice President of Global Sales at ClickSoftware. "Expanding our Channel Partner Program with the addition of such well-respected resellers will help drive additional revenue and business opportunities for ClickSoftware and its partner community". The new ClickIMRS reseller wins include: ePartners: A two-time recipient of Microsoft's Global Partner of the Year award, ePartners specializes in the implementation of market-leading enterprise resource planning (ERP), customer relationship management (CRM) and business intelligence (BI) solutions from Microsoft.

TSI: Known for its progressive solution development for organizations in both the public and private sectors, TSI brings more than 20 years of experience satisfying customer needs for mapping and spatial analysis technology.

The company's rich base of experience and expertise ensures that every solution, whether for public safety or private enterprise, is both pragmatic and insightful in achieving the maximum return on investment in these systems. "TSI, celebrating its 20th year in business, was looking to leverage its knowledge base of providing solutions to the industry based around mapping and spatial analysis. Specifically, we were looking to address the need for field resource and routing optimization. While we are impressed with the functionality provided by the ClickIMRS solution, we felt that the deployment process, which requires "configuration" more so than "writing code", was a good fit for TSI and its clients," said Steven Carr, President & Director of Business Development,TSI.
