Maureen Ehrenberg, president of Lessen’s commercial division, said the new product “helps users identify, implement and execute strategies with more confidence.”

Lessen acquired equipment maintenance technology company SMS Assist about a year ago, two years after raising $35 million in a Series A round of venture capital.
“Managing assets spread across multiple locations requires great care and control, especially when budgets are tight and costs are rising daily,” Ehrenberg said.
