Vancouver, BC – Venzee Technologies Inc. (TSX-V: VENZ) (the “Corporation” or “Venzee”) an intelligent SaaS platform used for distribution of product information to any retailer globally, announces growing Mesh Connector™ sales and additional channel requests from a New York Stock Exchange-listed Fortune 1000 global hardware company with annual revenue in excess of $3 billion per year.
The client company is a complex enterprise with 22 subsidiaries. The client — a well-known brand in the home improvement and industrial market sector — began the onboarding process with the platform in early 2020 by testing two of more than 385 available Venzee Mesh Connectors™ for retail content distribution. Today, the client has activated 12 automated Mesh Connectors™ including specialty retailers Ace Hardware and the True Value Company, industrial distributor HD Supply, and home improvement retailer The Home Depot.
In addition, the client has expanded its retail distribution options with a Mesh Connector™ designed to automate product information syndication to thousands of legacy retailers around the globe using the standards-based GS1 GDSN data pool.
The client has also requested an additional 10 Mesh Connectors™ as part of their Q1 work orders.
According to John Abrams, CEO of Venzee Technologies, “Our platform’s ability to satisfy the complex product content distribution requirements for this global manufacturer underscores the value our automated process unlocks for large, global brands.”
Venzee’s Mesh Connectors™, Abrams said, “Enable brands to unlock more retail sales channels in less time, with less cost, less labor, and fewer errors. Our technology is clearly being recognized across the industry and we are confident we will see significant revenue growth in 2021 as we execute on our operational goals.”
Moving forward, the Company anticipates — through new clients and deeper penetration across existing engagements — it will be announcing, on a regular basis, additional sales of Mesh Connectors™ within brands and manufacturers who have deeply integrated Venzee’s platform capabilities across their retail sales channel operations.
Radically simpler than alternatives, Venzee’s Mesh Connectors™ are system agnostic and infinitely scalable.
By streamlining and automating the syndication and distribution of product information across any retailer selling channel, Venzee’s Mesh Connectors™ provide brands with a competitive edge that accelerates time to market and maximizes cost-effectiveness.
Mesh Connectors™ make the tedious process of setting up thousands of individual retail channels for a single product a thing of the past for any brand, anywhere.
Separately, following approval from its Board of Directors, the Company announces it has granted 1,000,000 incentive stock options to Marc Bertrand for the right to purchase up to an aggregate of 1,000,000 common shares of the Company (the “Options”). The Options are exercisable at a price of $0.13 per share for a term of five (5) years. The terms of the Options granted are in accordance with the Company’s Rolling Share Option Plan and vest over a period of two (2) years. The option grants are subject TSX Venture Exchange approval.
