GIM Suite 5.6 simplifies access, streamlines sampling and delivers a refreshed user experience.

PERTH, WESTERN AUSTRALIA – 26 May 2026

Global information management software company, Acquire Technology Solutions (Acquire), has released GIM Suite 5.6, introducing more secure access, smarter workflows and a unified visual identity for itgeological data management software. 

The latest update focuses on reducing friction in everyday workflows while improving data integrity and system usability.

Frictionless, secure access with Single SignOn. 

GIM Suite 5.6 introduces Single Sign On (SSO), giving users one secure login across all devices and platforms. 

SSO simplifies access for geologists by removing the need for multiple passwords. It also strengthens security and centralises user management, making it easier for organisations to control access and maintain compliance. 

With less time spent on logins and administration, teams can stay focused on their work.

“We kept hearing from customers that managing separate credentials creates real day-to-day frustration. And in some organisations, it was a compliance concern too”, said Steve Jeffrey, Product Owner at Acquire. “With 5.6, users simply log in once with the identity they already use across their organisation and get straight to work. That’s the experience our customers have been asking for.”

Smarter, safer sample despatch workflows. 

GIM Suite 5.6 delivers a more streamlined and configurable sample despatch process, helping improve accuracy, visibility and coordination from field to laboratory.

The enhanced workflow allows teams to:

  • Configure sampling details to match site-specific processes.
  • Use quick filters to identify samples that require action, including ready-to-send and returned samples.
  • Ensure the right information is visible at each stage of the workflow.

Geologists can now include clear handling instructions and risk information, such as the presence of fibrous materials, directly in sample documentation. This gives laboratories early visibility to support safer handling, regulatory compliance and a clear audit trail.

“Getting samples to the lab with the right information attached is critical. Errors or omissions at that stage can cause costly delays and rework for everyone involved,” explains Steve Jeffrey.

“The enhancements give field teams the ability to capture exactly what the lab needs, in a format they can act on immediately, while giving site administrators the confidence that compliance and chain-of-custody requirements are being met without any manual effort”.

A refreshed brand, the same trusted platform. 

GIM Suite 5.6 introduces a unified visual identity aligned with the refreshed Acquire brand. 

Customers benefit from a more consistent and connected experience across GIM Suite and the Help Centre; while continuing to use the same trusted functionality they rely on every day. 

The updated design improves usability without changing core workflows, helping users adapt quickly and work more efficiently.

Building for the future of geological data management. 

GIM Suite 5.6 includes additional enhancements as we continue to invest in software designed for the future of data management.
