Metis Partners has been appointed to manage the marketing and sale of the intellectual property (“IP”) assets of Telrock Systems Limited (“Telrock” or the “Company”). Expressions of interest are being sought immediately for the IP developed by the Company, which is critical code within a flagship product named Optimus, best described as an omni-channel, cloud-native, debt collections and recovery SaaS solution designed to manage the full credit cycle at an enterprise level.

The Company is headquartered in London, UK, and operates in a group alongside US affiliates (the “Group”). It forms part of the Oakglen Group, which has provided circa $55m in funding to the Group across the UK and US businesses to support product development and commercialisation.

The Company employed a remote team of 23 in the UK across product development, IT operations, information security, implementation, and support. To date, the Company itself has only secured one major UK customer in the financial services sector, generating revenue of circa £220k in 2024.

The separate US business has its own software team and has worked with the Company to develop Optimus and related IP assets. These US-owned assets are essential for delivering Optimus to customers, but are not included in this IP sale. The US business has secured similar and larger contracts with US customers; however, the Company has no rights to that US-owned IP portfolio, which remains outside the scope of this sale process so no IP capable of being used as standalone software is offered as part of this sale process.

Optimus has been designed to manage the full credit cycle for financial institutions and collection agencies. Built for automation, compliance, and seamless integration, Optimus is certified to PCI DSS (v4) and SOC 2 Type II standards, making it suitable for deployment in regulated industries.

Optimus also relies on SmartConnect, a proprietary, cloud-native integration hub enabling low/no-code connectivity between Optimus, internal systems, and third-party applications. This accelerates deployment, reduces costs, and ensures flexibility for enterprise clients.

The Company is expected to enter a formal insolvency process following the withdrawal of shareholder support. This presents a time-sensitive opportunity, and with limited transition support anticipated, interested parties will need to move quickly to secure these assets in an accelerated acquisition process.

• Acquire a proprietary, cloud-native debt collections and recovery platform with proven deployment in the financial services sector, underpinned by millions of dollars in investment to date
• Leverage a technology stack built for automation, compliance, and seamless integration, supported by industry certifications and complementary IP assets
• Capitalise on accelerating demand in the global debt collection software market, which was valued at circa $4.9bn in 2023 and is projected to grow at compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 9.6% between 2024 and 2030, reaching a market size of $9.3bn by 2030^[1]

The full tech stack, including all source code and associated modifications, is held in escrow, and cloud hosting is secured until the end of 2025.
