Visionstate's IOT Software Solution for Facilities Goes Global; Adoption Accelerating due to COVID-19 Sixth Wave

EDMONTON, Alberta, April 14, 2022 - Visionstate Corp. (TSX VENTURE: VIS) (“Visionstate” or the “Company”) is pleased to provide the following update on the growth of its Internet of Things (IoT) application which is quickly gaining traction in the facility management sector under the branded name, WANDA™.

WANDA™ has quickly become an important tool in the fight against COVID-19 and other diseases as the sixth wave of the virus continues to create health concerns across Canada and beyond. WANDA™ is a mobile application, incorporating QR code functionality, that tracks cleaning and maintenance activities and measures those activities against new and more stringent protocols.

“We are very pleased with the growth of Visionstate IoT Inc.,” said Company CEO John Putters. “WANDA™ is quickly becoming the primary tool for businesses, municipalities, and governments to ensure cleaning protocols are met in order to reduce the impact of COVID-19.”

The Company provides the following updates on the global rollout of WANDA™:

  • The Company has entered into two significant pilot projects with Business Services Contractors (BSC) to test the performance of the WANDA™ mobile app. The successful conclusion of the pilot projects will result in further deployments throughout the portfolios of the BSCs and represents new selling partners.

  • The Company has deployed additional WANDA™ tablets to Class A office towers in Florida to an existing customer. The continued expansion of WANDA™ through the customer’s real estate portfolio demonstrates the value of the technology as it continues to become an integral part of the cleaning protocols.

  • The sales pipeline for WANDA™ continues to grow and includes seniors’ facilities, municipalities, school divisions, universities, and office towers, to name a few. The opportunities continue to be driven by Visionstate’s global partner which is a leader in the cleaning and hygiene business.

  • The Company has partnered with a managed phone solution provider to supply rugged phones to customers who do not currently provide employees with handsets. The managed solution provides the ability to control the use of the phones so that they are used for the purposes of WANDA™ only.

  • Visionstate is commencing the development of RFID technology to track the location of high-value assets in hospitals and to track the cleaning of these assets after each use. Tracking assets and the cleaning protocols that accompany these assets continue to be a challenge for hospitals in particular. The RFID application will also be sold on a software as a service model.

  • Visionstate launched a new website to better reflect the new functionality, features, and benefits of the WANDA™ product. The website can be viewed at www.visionstate.com.

About WANDA™

Designed to track cleaning and maintenance activities, the mobile version of WANDA™ has unlimited scalability and is applicable to diverse industry sectors, including hospitals, airports, shopping centres, community recreational facilities, schools and universities, senior’s care facilities and even large municipalities. The mobile app is also quick to deploy and is based on a subscription model to eliminate upfront costs.

Visionstate charges a monthly or annual subscription fee for each activation of the mobile application and measures success based on the rate of customer acquisition, which is a standard measure of performance for technology companies that are based on the Software as a Service (SaaS) model. Customer acquisition increases residual income over the 36-month term of each contract and carries a high margin on sales.
