About Concerto

Part of the Bellrock Group, Concerto has been a market-disrupting innovator of cloud-based software since 2004, delivering market-leading CAFM/IWMS solutions.

Concerto is a well-established business with a solid financial base but has the agile mindset of a start-up. Having proven our technology in a highly competitive landscape and recently acquired new owners/investment, Concerto has plans to scale the business significantly.
