#AI News: VSBLTY (CSE: $VSBY.C) (OTC: $VSBGF) CEO Provides Corporate Update; Company Exceeds One Million USD Bookings in Q1; @vsbltyco

#AI News: VSBLTY (CSE: $VSBY.C) (OTC: $VSBGF) CEO Provides Corporate Update; Company Exceeds One Million USD Bookings in Q1; @vsbltyco



Philadelphia, PA - March 18, 2020 (Investorideas.com Newswire) VSBLTY Groupe Technologies Corp. (CSE: VSBY) (Frankfurt: 5VS) (OTC: VSBGF) ("VSBLTY") a leading retail software technology company, has booked revenue exceeding one million USD in Q1 Co-founder & CEO Jay Hutton announced today as part of his 2020 CEO update.


VSBLTY Channel Partners Driving Adoption 
"Our key channel and development partners are driving adoption with major retailers, brands and infrastructure," Hutton stated. "This is why we spent the time and resources to get these partnerships in place in 2019. We finished strongly last year with the best bookings quarter in the company history. In the first quarter of 2020 the company will exceed bookings of more than one million dollars USD.

"In fact," Hutton said, "Q2 is looking even better than Q1. We have three major healthcare and consumer related retail deployments scheduled to begin in the U.S. and Canada. Smart, custom digital displays with interactive technology are designed to educate consumers with critical, personalized information so that they can better manage their own health and wellness."

VSBLTY has joined forces with select channel partners to offer turnkey business solutions from concept through display design and engineering, manufacturing, deployment and maintenance. Critical real time measurement provided by VSBLTY's analytics software DataCaptorÔ married to sales data ensures cost efficiency and maximum return on brands' and retailers' capital investments.

Hutton also pointed to new Q2 retail deployments of the next generation of transparent touch glass refrigerated cooler doors. "These are now available at half the price point from two years ago, which we expect will significantly accelerate sales," he said.

Hutton added, "The Sensormatic partnership is enormously strategic to VSBLTY. The knowledge transfer and channel training are underway now with an early deployment in one of the operating regions in Q1. Sensormatic's overwhelming positive brand reputation coupled with their worldwide reach will continue to advance the interests of both companies as we accelerate the partnership."

Municipal Security System Deployed in First Four Mexico City Counties
Hutton pointed out that among the company's 2019 major accomplishments was the launch of a three-year, $10 million partnership with RADAR, which delivers a comprehensive Smart City solution for Mexico City that has already achieved significant reductions in crime rates with just a few thousand cameras deployed. "With this unique security kit deployment perfected, our Mexico City partner is hosting other Central and South American municipalities that wish to learn more about this program to improve citizen safety," he added. Hutton said his company is projecting the second major Latin American deployment in the second quarter of 2020. Given the unique nature of the offering, this cost-efficient solution may be installed in three million security cameras or more in Latin America alone.

Information and Improved Safety in Elevators
Another exciting technology coming to the U.S. in Q2 is the VSBLTY video wall that will be installed in office building elevators. The Gateway "Magic Mirror" by LU-VE Group, unveiled in February at the EuroShop Show in Düsseldorf with VSBLTY European partner H. Ventures, worldwide exclusive distributor for the Magic Mirror Solutions, generated wide interest among attendees from around the globe.

The video wall transmits photos, videos and advertising as well as building information and announcements. Touch screen technology also enables elevator passengers to communicate to the outside via the web. In the event of an emergency, the elevator cabin immediately will be in audio/visual communication with an emergency specialist to calm and inform passengers. "We are in the process of completing U.S. certification to meet the significant demand for this innovative information/safety technology," Hutton concluded.
In other news, the company announced the departure of CFO, Laurette Pitts. Ms. Pitts is leaving the company for personal reasons but will remain on the Board of Directors. Heather Sims has been appointed the new CFO.

VSBLTY technology provides enhanced customer engagement and audience measurement using machine learning and computer vision. Its industry-leading VisionCaptor™ and DataCaptor™ software combine motion graphics and interactive brand messaging with cutting-edge computer vision measurement and insights. VSBLTY's AI-driven software, Vector™, provides advanced facial recognition that is crucial to enhancing today's security requirements, including recognizing weapons and suspicious persons in a crowd.

Delta, Kelowna, BC, March 17th, 2020 (Investorideas.com Newswire) www.Investorideas.com, a global news source covering leading sectors including marijuana and hemp stocks and its potcast site, www.potcasts.ca  release today’s podcast edition of  cannabis news and stocks to watch plus insight from thought leaders and experts.

Listen to the podcast:



Today’s podcast overview/transcript:

Good afternoon and welcome to another episode of Investorideas.com "Potcast" featuring cannabis news, stocks to watch as well as insights from thought leaders and experts.

In today’s podcast we look at a few company announcements.

Canopy Growth Corporation (TSX: WEED)(NYSE: CGC) has been monitoring the COVID-19 outbreak and paying close attention to the guidance given by public health bodies around the globe. Canopy Growth's leadership team has made the decision to temporarily close all corporate-owned Tokyo Smoke and Tweed retail locations across Canada, effective at 5:00 p.m. local time today, March 17.

"We have a responsibility to our employees, their families, and our communities to do our part to "flatten the curve" by limiting social interactions. For us, that means shifting our focus from retail to e-commerce," said David Klein, CEO, Canopy Growth. "This is a big decision but it was also an easy one to make – our retail teams are public-facing and have been serving an above-average volume of transactions in recent days. Given the current situation, it is in the best interest of our teams and our communities to close these busy hubs until we are confident we can operate our stores in the best interest of public health."

Canopy Growth also has a responsibility to its customers and medical patients to continue providing access to their desired cannabis products and prescribed medication. The Company has established, fully supported e-commerce platforms available to our recreational and medical customers across the country to provide business continuity for people seeking our products.

The decision affects the 23 corporately-owned stores in Newfoundland, Saskatchewan, and Manitoba as well as the Tweed Visitor Centre in Smiths Falls, ON.

Patients will be able to continue purchasing medical cannabis through Spectrum TherapeuticsAdult consumers within Manitoba and Saskatchewan are able to purchase Canopy Growth products through Tweed and Tokyo Smoke e-commerce platforms, all other provinces and territories will be supported through government-run online retail.

In other COVID related news, Lift & Co. Corp. (TSXV: LIFT) (OTCQB: LFCOF), announced today that it has temporarily laid off members of its workforce and paused operations of non-profitable business segments due to extenuating circumstances outside of the Company’s control.
Specifically, due to the COVID-19 pandemic and the effects the pandemic is having on event businesses around the world, the Company has made difficult and strategic decisions intended to preserve cash and long-term shareholder value. The Company remains committed to continuing its profitable Lift & Co. Expo and CannSell lines of business which will be operationally unaffected by these changes.
“We are incredibly saddened by these necessary and difficult actions. Our team members have been tirelessly dedicated to driving shareholder value and building Cohesion and this pandemic and its impact on our operations is a shock to us all,” said Matei Olaru, CEO of Lift & Co. “We are doing everything possible to preserve jobs long term at Lift & Co as we commit to preserving shareholder value and profitably servicing our valued clients during these uncertain times.”  
As the COVID-19 pandemic continues to grow and impact commerce globally, Lift & Co. is focusing on ensuring the safety and well-being of its employees and viability of the Company. The Company intends to rehire those affected by the temporary layoffs if and when the COVID-19 pandemic is resolved.
Following up from yesterday’s announcement regarding Cova POS, now Greenline POS has announced partnering with Dutchie.

"Cannabis retailers now, more than ever, need online solutions to increase their inventory visibility and add convenience to customers' ordering experiences," said Albert Kim, CEO of Greenline POS. "We're proud to be working with Dutchie to bring click and collect to Canada."

Online menus are critical for cannabis retailers in a competitive landscape where customers research online first before visiting stores. Understanding the availability of a strain can make or break a decision to visit a store.
                             
Click-and-collect is an increasingly in-demand feature for stores that are competing on convenience. It allows customers to reserve their orders online, and pick up in store for a seamless purchasing experience.
                             
"With the emergence of click and collect in Canada, we are excited to integrate with an innovative retail solution like Greenline," said Ross Lipson, CEO of Dutchie. "With real-time menus and streamlined order fulfilment, the Dutchie and Greenline integration offers a premium experience for both consumers and retailers."

SparqOne, the fastest-growing distribution company in California, announced today it has entered into distribution agreements with best-in-breed cannabis brands Kushy Punch, Church, Mindset Organics, Branded and Smoakland to reach over 400 dispensaries statewide. SparqOne has rights to distribute these throughout the state of California.

“We are so pleased to welcome these exceptional companies and brands to our growing portfolio, and now have a full vertical product line-up to meet every category and pricing tier our dispensary partners offer,” said SparqOne General Manager Andrew Dorsett. “We have built our company on three core tenets — superior customer service, next day delivery, and real time sales and inventory management.”

SparqOne has distribution hubs in Los Angeles, Oakland, Orange County and Sacramento, which provide the platform for its next-day delivery service to dispensaries statewide. Every crew member goes through an extensive two-week training for compliance, product knowledge and customer relations. In addition to Dorsett, a highly decorated Marine Corps veteran, the team is comprised of a diverse group of experts from the logistics, cannabis and biotech sectors including Marine and Navy veterans, budtenders and cultivators.

Dorsett added, “From Eureka to El Centro, Santa Barbara to Needles, we have strong relationships with nearly every shop in the state. We work tirelessly with each to improve their sales and profits through smart in-store education and product positioning, frequent patient appreciation days, and bringing fresh, innovative brands and products to their customers.

“You will see our crew members sporting our distinctive S1 racing colors and apparel with every delivery to reflect our ‘cannabis on demand’ service to shops and customers throughout the state.”

CURE Pharmaceutical (OTC:CURR), an innovative drug delivery and development company, today announced the allowance of Chinese Patent No. ZL201480039313.6. The new patent covers the loading of high amounts of active drug on an oral thin film using its proprietary drug delivery systems, including its lead drug product, CUREfilm Blue™, a soluble thin film for oral administration of sildenafil citrate (Viagra™) to treat erectile dysfunction (ED) in China.

“Securing this key patent supports our global commercialization strategy for CUREfilm Blue as well as follow-on drugs delivered using thin film,” said Rob Davidson, CEO of CURE Pharmaceutical. “We are focused on the Asian market for this first product, and in particular China, a high-demand ED drug market where consumers are early adopters of innovative dosage forms.”

The ED drug market is expected to reach USD $6.5 billion at a 6% compound annual growth rate by 2025, according to QYResearch. The report points out that the Asia Pacific market will be one of the fastest growing markets for ED medicine. Sildenafil is leading the ED drug market worldwide with more than half of all global sales.

The new patent covers methods of preparing edible thin films that can deliver high doses of active ingredients that are encapsulated using lipids to form micelles or liposomes. This enables CURE to differentiate its oral thin film product from sildenafil oral soluble films.

#ExploringMining #Podcast – #Mining #Stocks News from (NYSE: $RIO) (NYSE: $NEM) (NYSE: $GOLD) (TSX: $TLO.TO)


#ExploringMining #Podcast – #Mining #Stocks News from (NYSE: $RIO) (NYSE: $NEM) (NYSE: $GOLD) (TSX: $TLO.TO)



Point Roberts WA, Delta BC, March 17, 2019 Investorideas.com, a global investor news source covering mining and metals stocks releases today’s edition of Exploring Mining Podcast, featuring stock news from TSX, TSXV ,CSE, ASX, NASDAQ, NYSE  companies plus interviews with CEO's and leading experts.

Listen to the podcast:


Rio Tinto Group (NYSE:RIO) has provided an update on the Oyu Tolgoi mine in Mongolia, indicating that it is continuing to operate and deliver shipments of copper concentrate to its customers in accordance with restrictions from Mongolian authorities imposed to contain the spread of COVID-19. Rio Tinto Copper & Diamonds chief executive Arnaud Soirat, explained:

"Our focus is on ensuring the safety and health of all of our people at Oyu Tolgoi and we support the decisive action taken by the government to limit the spread of COVID-19. It has inevitably resulted in a restriction on the movement of goods and people in the country and this is slowing down construction activity at the Underground Project. It is too early to determine the impact of this and the team is doing all they can to minimise the disruption in a challenging environment. We will continue to work with our suppliers, customers and the government."

Newmont Corporation (NYSE:NEM) has announced that it will be safely ramping down mining operations at the Yanacocha property in Peru, as government authorities instate “Coronavirus-related” restrictions. The press release indicates, however, that “gold production from leach pads,” will continue. Tom Palmer, President and CEO, said:

"The health and safety of our workforce and host communities takes precedence above all else. While we have no confirmed COVID-19 cases among Newmont’s workforce or any major disruptions to production at our other sites at this time, we are proactively taking steps to protect our people and the continuity of our business during this global pandemic."

Barrick Gold Corporation (NYSE:GOLD) has announced that the Veladero gold mine in Argentina has had its life extended by 10 years “following a comprehensive review of its strategy and business plan.’ Company President and CEO Mark Bristow said:

“Our review included the reinterpretation of the mine’s geology and an ongoing infill drilling campaign.  We established exploration and resource management teams to identify satellite orebodies with the potential to deliver an increase in resources and reserves. Our aim is to extend Veladero’s life of mine beyond 2030 and elevate it to a Tier One asset.”

The press release notes that “Barrick defines a Tier One mine as one that produces in excess of 500,000 ounces of gold per annum and has a life of at least 10 years.”

Talon Metals Corp. (TSX:TLO) has logged 10.54 meters (34.6 feet) of Mixed Massive Sulphides (MMS) at the Tamarack Nickel-Copper-Cobalt project in Minnesota. Henri van Rooyen, CEO of Talon, commented:

“The drill hole was planned by using a combination of downhole electromagnetic models, magneto-metric resistivity models and oriented core from drill 16TK0233B. The target was then successfully intercepted by using directional drilling.”

Talon has also confirmed that health and safety measures have been implemented in response to the Coronavirus threat, but that “operations (including its drilling program) have not been impacted.’
