Knowledge management platform Knosys rocketed 190 per cent in Monday afternoon trade after announcing its biggest ever single contract with Singapore telco SingTel.

The $6 million deal will see Knosys’s KnowledgeIQ platform deployed across SingTel’s Singaporean business and Australian subsidiary Optus.

The shares (ASX:KNO) took off in Monday afternoon trade, putting on more than 10c to 16c by 2.30pm AEDT. The stock settled back to 12c at the end of the day — still up 118 per cent.

The contract is the biggest for the operator of staff and customer management solutions, and is set to span five years and three years for Singtel and Optus respectively, beginning immediately.

“We are on target to achieve our double-digit user growth target for FY18 which I know our investors have been patiently waiting for.”
