Visionstate Portfolio Company Exceed Solar Bundles IoT Tech with Latest Greenhouse Sale
Exceed Solar is addressing the growing threat to food security
Edmonton, Alberta, November 30, 2021 - Visionstate Corp. (TSX-V: VIS) (“Visionstate” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce that Exceed Solar, a portfolio company of Visionstate Corp., is further enhancing its high-tech solar greenhouse with its recent deployment of a residential off-grid greenhouse.
Exceed Solar, which recently deployed a 240 square foot, solar-powered greenhouse at the University of Alberta, is now bundling Internet of Things (IoT) technology into its structures to measure environmental conditions that will enhance growing capabilities while efficiently using renewable energy.
Interesting facts about the Exceed Solar greenhouse:
Two 315-watt photovoltaic solar panels power the off-grid greenhouse, producing 630W/h in green energy
The solar energy produces enough power to operate fans, lights, and a small IoT computer
A unique 40 square foot vestibule or potting shed is attached to the greenhouse and houses the solar components
Solar energy is stored in two batteries that can provide up to 2.9kW of storage
The building envelope is constructed using recycled SIP or structural insulated panels supplied by Ecoplast Solutions, a Canadian company based in Lloydminster, Alberta
The SIP panels are rated R30 and are made from 100% recycled plastic bottles
The greenhouse features an insulated north wall to regulate temperatures inside the greenhouse
The residential greenhouse is powered by two 315-watt solar panels and is built with energy efficiency in mind by using recycled, structural insulated panels (SIPs) for the building envelope and a double layer of polycarbonate panels for the growing area. The greenhouse has a total footprint of 160 square feet with 120 square feet of greenhouse space and a fully-insulated 40 square foot attached vestibule that can be used for indoor growing.
Exceed’s most recent sale of the greenhouse marks the first deployment in a residential setting. The Company’s objective is to disrupt traditional construction by incorporating new building materials and technology to ensure energy efficiency and meet demand for the transition to a renewable energy economy.
In addition to incorporating technology and renewable energy into its greenhouse, Exceed Solar is meeting the increased demand for backyard growing as climate change and COVID-19 continue to put pressure on food costs.
“The Exceed Solar greenhouse is the most advanced of its kind currently on the market,” explained Kim Muir, director of Marketing and Sales. “It is designed for northern cold-climate conditions and provides the ability to offset food costs by growing produce in your own backyard and for a longer growing season too.”
The IoT technology being incorporated in the greenhouse includes sensors for measuring temperature, humidity, and light levels in the greenhouse, which is accessible remotely through an app. The data collected within the greenhouse will allow the customer to better understand and tailor the growing conditions in the greenhouse and allow Exceed Solar to collect valuable data on the performance of its products.
Along with providing high-tech solar-powered greenhouses, Exceed Solar is setting its sights on addressing affordable housing by leveraging sustainable, modularized building materials and renewable energy. The Company is focussed on advancing its brand of social enterprise by addressing basic needs in our communities such as affordable and accessible housing.

Visionstate Provides Business Update
Edmonton, Alberta, November 4, 2021 - Visionstate Corp. (TSX-V: VIS) (“Visionstate” or the “Company”) is pleased to provide an update on its business activities, sales, and new technology development. The Company continues to grow with its IoT WANDA™ product as a result of new cleaning protocols required to address the spread of COVID-19.
The interest in WANDA™ has grown substantially in the last three months, with a sales pipeline larger than ever in the history of the company. The rise in interest coincides with facilities opening to the public with Visionstate customers being diligent in their cleaning practices to ensure a safe environment. WANDA™, which tracks cleaning activities and provides detailed analytics on key performance indicators, is an essential part of the fight to control COVID-19 and other diseases, by ensuring new protocols are being met.
Visionstate is set to roll out WANDA™ tablets, IoT buttons and its WandaMOBILE product to diverse locations, including hospitals located in Europe, a large Canadian zoo, a Canadian provincial museum, four new shopping-centre locations and expansion of an existing installation with one of the largest private-equity companies in the world. The expansion includes a Class A office tower in Miami, Florida.
Existing clients are also adopting WandaMOBILE coupled with QR codes. The use of QR codes provides the opportunity to track any area or zone within a facility. The codes can be used by cleaning staff to log their presence at a location and use the app to record cleaning activities, supplies and address any existing alerts from customers. These customers can scan the QR code to provide feedback or alerts for areas that require immediate attention.
WandaMOBILE is particularly popular because of the quick deployment time and the QR code feature. Visionstate has an upcoming pilot project with a large Canadian municipality to use WandaMOBILE to track cleaning and alerts in diverse locations, including garbage receptacles on public property. Current customers of WandaMOBILE are also implementing QR codes, including a Canadian international airport, since the use of touchscreens in public settings are decreasing because of COVID-19 and the potential to spread disease.
Visionstate’s business model is based on software as a service (SaaS), with contracts typically on a three-year term. Since the Company only reports quarterly results, success of SaaS models is measured by the rate of customer acquisition. To further increase the rate of customer acquisition, Visionstate is also investing in added sales staff to augment the sales and marketing efforts through its existing global partner. These resources will be in place in the month of November 2021. Visionstate recently added a business strategist to its team, and the results of the on-going analysis of the Company’s performance will provide guidance on the sales strategy.
Visionstate also continues to invest in new features for its WANDA™ product, particularly the mobile app. New auditing features, automatic supply replenishment, and key analytical insights are currently being developed and will be deployed by the end of the calendar year.
The Company is also ramping up its development of artificial intelligence (AI) applications for retail and public locations. Visionstate, which disrupted the static directory market in 2005 with its interactive ViCCi (“Vicky”) product, is re-purposing its core technology, which includes interactive wayfinding, and integrating it with state-of-the-art AI technology. The potential applications are wide ranging and address key challenges with conventional customer service, including the cost of delivering the service, the shortage of customer-relations workers, and the growing dependence on analytics to better understand the customer journey.
Meanwhile, Visionstate’s portfolio company, Exceed Solar, is gearing up for an educational webinar scheduled for 4:00 pm EST on Thursday, November 4, 2021. Exceed Solar is a company dedicated to disrupting the construction industry by using sustainable building materials in combination with technology and renewable energy. Exceed Solar’s objective is similar to the evolution of the electric vehicle and the transition away from fossil-fuel powered cars. To register for the event please follow the link below:

Visionstate Works with Artificial Intelligence Company to Deploy Retail Customer Service Solution
Edmonton, Alberta, October 21, 2021 - Visionstate Corp. (TSX-V: VIS) (“Visionstate” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce it has entered into an agreement with Artificial Intelligence company Fluido.ai to deploy AI enabled customer service applications for the retail sector. The first deployment of the new technology will be in a large Canadian-based shopping centre.
With the retail sector struggling as it recovers from COVID-19 related business interruptions, supply chain challenges, health and safety concerns, and labour shortages – Visionstate’s VICCI (virtual, interactive, customer care, interface) kiosks with Fluido.ai chatbot give operators in-store support to help guide the customer journey.
The touch-free kiosk works without the need for human labour. The chatbot is voice activated and uses machine learning, so the technology improves as more customers interact with it. The retail operator can have a 360-degree view of how customers navigate the mall space, what the most common customer questions are, and what are the unmet customer needs, thus providing opportunities for new services and retail tenants. A large Canadian shopping centre will be launching the Visionstate VICCI kiosk with Tensorgraph’s Fluido.ai chatbot in the first calendar quarter of 2022.
"Visionstate is focused on helping businesses harness the power of technology to help both the business and the collective thrive in a sustainable way,” explained Visionstate CEO, John Putters. “We are thrilled to be able to incorporate Tensorgraph’s Fluido.ai chatbot into our VICCI smart kiosk platform so that customers can interact with the technology in the most natural way. Our voices are the first thing we use when we’re born and interacting with the kiosk verbally results in a faster, more accessible, easier, and safer experience as the customer does not need to touch a screen to connect. The launch of the VICCI kiosk with Fluido.ai chatbot in early 2022 will support customers and the mall leadership with better, safer experiences and real-time analytics that will help accelerate the retail recovery."
“We started Tensorgraph to offer businesses a way to embrace the ‘future of work’ where humans and bots work together,” added Wessam Gad El-Rab, Co-Founder of Tesorgraph.io., “Fluido is Spanish for ‘fluid or seamless’ and the Fluido.ai chatbot lets businesses benefit from technology without losing the human touch. I’m thrilled that Visionstate is launching a VICCI kiosk at a large Canadian shopping centre in 2022 where the mall leadership will now have full visibility into the customer journey to help inform business strategy, bridge the gaps created by the labour shortage, and create a better experience."
Statistical Trends in Retail and Technology:
64% of entrepreneurs report that labour shortage limits their growth
55% of small and medium-sized businesses find it difficult to hire
61% of entrepreneurs must increase their hours and/or their employees’ hours due to the labour scarcity
49% must increase wages and benefits
44% have delayed or are unable to deliver orders to clients (source: BDC) https://www.bdc.ca/en/about/mediaroom/news-releases/labour-shortage-study
About Fluido.ai chatbot
Fluido.ai is a code-free conversational AI (Artificial Intelligence) platform powered by an advanced machine-learning and NLP (Natural Language Processing) model which allows businesses to benefit from technology that’s been built and “trained” to the unique operational and brand nuances of the business. The chatbot guides the customer journey in a safe and engaging way while the AI technology continuously improves the chatbot response as more customers interact with it. The ability of the Fluido.ai chatbot to seamlessly handoff and support the human-to-human interactions is its point of difference.

Visionstate Portfolio Company Launches High-tech Solar Greenhouse at U of A
Exceed Solar is addressing the growing threat to food security
Edmonton, Alberta, October 6, 2021 - Visionstate Corp. (TSX-V: VIS) (“Visionstate” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce that Exceed Solar, a portfolio company of Visionstate Corp., has set October 7, 2021 as the official launch date of its high-tech solar-powered greenhouse at the University of Alberta (“U of A”).
The 240-square-foot greenhouse, located adjacent to the community garden in East Campus Village, was designed by Exceed Solar through its Sol Spaces brand. The company is dedicated to building sustainable greenhouses and affordable living spaces by leveraging new construction technologies and sustainable energy solutions.
The project was funded through the University of Alberta’s Energy Management and Sustainable Operations Department, which provided financial assistance to install the solar-powered greenhouse on the university campus for the purposes of advanced research.
The objective of the project is to leverage technology to further enhance the capabilities of backyard greenhouses in order to address growing concerns about food security. In addition, research projects with the University of Alberta’s Engineering Department, Renewable Energy Design team, and Permaculture student groups will be involved with the research.
“The U of A project brought together a broad spectrum of expertise in many different disciplines,” explained Kim Muir, Stakeholder Relations Manger for Exceed Solar. “The result is a project that can not only help address food shortages but test new technologies in sustainable development that will benefit all of our communities.”
Backyard greenhouses continue to grow in popularity as food prices continue to rise and as more people stay home as a result of the COVID pandemic.
“Investing in a sustainable greenhouse is empowering to people,” Muir explained. “Generating green energy from sustainable sources is liberating in and of itself but growing your own source of food is equally inspiring for people, providing them an opportunity to be an active participant in our transition toward a more sustainable existence.”
Visionstate, which invested in Exceed Solar, is working with the team to investigate IoT or Internet of Things applications that can be applied to smart building structures.

Interesting facts about the solar greenhouse:
Four 350-watt photovoltaic solar panels power the off-grid greenhouse, producing 1.7 Kw/h in green energy
The solar energy produces enough power to operate fans, lights, and a heating/cooling system
A unique 96 square foot vestibule or potting shed is attached to the greenhouse and houses the solar components
Solar energy is stored in four batteries supplied by Growing Greener Innovations, an award-winning Edmonton-based company
The building envelope is constructed using SIP or structured insulated panels supplied by Greenstone Building Products, a Canadian company based in Brandon, Manitoba
The SIP panels are rated R30 and environmentally sustainable
The greenhouse features a north wall to retain heat in colder months while absorbing it in warmer months
The research areas being pursued include: Internet of Things sensors, permaculture and solar energy optimization

Visionstate Posts Q3 Profit on Growing Revenues
Edmonton, Alberta, August 31, 2021 - Visionstate Corp. (TSX-V: VIS) (“Visionstate” or the “Company”), a company that invests in the research and development of promising new technology in the realm of the Internet of Things, big data and analytics, and sustainability, today announced its third consecutive quarterly profit for the period ending June 30, 2021.

The development and subsequent deployment of WandaMOBILE represents a significant shift in the Company’s ability to provide a more comprehensive solution to the facility management industry. While Wanda tablets have historically been restroom centric, the mobile app expands the ability to collect data of cleaning activities throughout a facility. Management believes the addition of the mobile app to the Wanda suite of products will have a significant impact on future revenue generation.
Visionstate IoT sells its products through a large, global distributor (Bunzl) which carries inventory of the Wanda device and distributes directly to customers. In October 2020, the Company entered into a new three-year agreement with its partner that includes sales, marketing and distribution of the Wanda products. The agreement enables Visionstate to focus on developing new IoT technology while it earns residual revenue through license fees. The agreement also includes monthly retainer fees which represents a new and consistent revenue source for Visionstate.
John Putters, Founder and CEO of Visionstate, comments: “This is certainly an exciting time in the Company’s history. Revenues are driven primarily by the sale of our IoT product and derived from recurring licensing and software support fees, thus as the number of units increase, so does the revenue. With the Bunzl partnership in place, we were able to successfully focus the Company’s attention on the continued enhancement of the product software while leaving the sales and inventory management to the expertise of our partner. This will allow VIS to continue expanding the capabilities of the Wanda solution while collecting residual license and initial set up fees from Bunzl. We look forward to the rapid growth thanks to the nature of our software-as-a-service revenue model and continuing to innovate and expand into other industry verticals that are also focused on sustainability through date management.”

Visionstate Partners with Gangline Canada to Develop Radio Frequency Identification Applications
Edmonton, Alberta, August 10, 2021 - Visionstate Corp. (TSX-V: VIS) (“Visionstate” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce it has signed a letter of intent with Gangline Canada Inc. (“Gangline”) to enter into a joint venture agreement to develop radio frequency identification (RFID) applications.
The joint venture agreement is a result of the two companies successfully collaborating on deploying its first RFID application, which is being used to track safety slings that are mandated for use in the oil and gas sector. The RFID application facilitates improved inventory management for its customers.
“We are very pleased with the initial deployment of this technology,” explained Visionstate Corp. CEO John Putters. “It demonstrates how RFID technology can be implemented to improve operations and inventory management.”
The two companies intend to create a new joint venture company to pursue further opportunities in oil and gas for the RFID application. The joint venture will leverage the two companies strengths, including Visionstate’s technical expertise and Gangline’s extensive connections in the target market.
RFID is a tracking application that consists of tags, readers and middleware. RFID devices serve the same purpose as a bar code that provides a unique identifier for an object but does not need to be scanned directly, providing for a more robust inventory management system.
According to ReseachAndMarkets.com, the global RFID market size is estimated to be USD$10.7 billion in 2021 and is projected to reach USD$17.4 billion by 2026. The growth is attributed to lower-cost hardware, increased government regulation, and the implementation of new technologies designed to improve operational efficiencies.
About Gangline Canada Inc.
Gangline Canada Inc., is an Edmonton-based business focused on the creation of engineering applications and distribution of the patented Gangline™ solution. The Gangline™ is a professionally-engineered, pipe restraint system designed to limit the whip range of pipes (such as those used in oil fields and fracking work sites), should a catastrophic failure occur to the flow line or union connections. The company has successfully developed a Quality Management System to handle inventory, and related periodic applications, and is now focused on developing and deploying its RFID applications to the oil fields.

VIS Announces Exceed Solar MOU with Ecoplast Solutions for High-tech, Sustainable Living Spaces
Edmonton, Alberta, July 15, 2021 - Exceed Solar Inc. (the “Company” or “Exceed Solar”), a business that is 40% owned by Visionstate Corp. (TSXV: VIS), is pleased to announce it has signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) with Lloydminster-based Ecoplast Solutions Inc. (“Ecoplast”) to collaborate on constructing high-tech living spaces that set a new standard in sustainable living.
Visionstate Corp. previously announced on April 23, 2021 that it had signed a Letter of Intent to acquire the outstanding shares of Exceed Solar Inc.
The partnership with Ecoplast will see Exceed Solar utilizing Ecoplast’s proprietary structurally insulated panels (SIPs) to build its sustainable living spaces that include backyard studios, garden or in-law suites and high-tech greenhouses. Ecoplast’s insulated panels are built on a foam core material made from 100% recycled plastic bottles and bonded with a special laminate.
“What made Exceed Solar excited about working with Ecoplast is the fact the company uses recycled plastic bottles to produce a building system that is strong, energy efficient, and cost effective”, said Elliott Putters, President of Exceed Solar. “Our strategy is to commoditize building structures to address the increasing cost of contemporary living spaces. The products offered by Ecoplast Solutions fit well within that strategy.”
“We’re extremely excited to work with Exceed Solar on numerous projects going forward. We believe our eco-friendly building solution is a perfect fit for their future developments”, said Jean-Marc d’Entremont, Managing Partner of Ecoplast.
Exceed Solar is a company that makes every decision with consideration of the impact on the community and on the environment. This partnership with Ecoplast will be a key factor in the Company’s ability to be a part of and to build abundant, safe, and healthy communities.
Exceed Solar is poised to make a significant impact on energy-efficient building envelopes. The Company is focused on smaller-scale structures such as backyard greenhouses, garden suites and business and entertainment studios which are branded under Sol Spaces.
Ecoplast SIP innovation represents a major new application for recycled high-quality polyethylene terephthalate (PET) made from plastic bottles. PET foams are the newest structural core materials in the composite industry. Ecoplast only sources PET made solely from recycled bottles.
Currently Exceed Solar is working with the University of Alberta’s sustainability initiative and faculty of engineering to build and test a high-tech, solar-powered greenhouse at the University of Alberta’s East Campus Village. The project will see a variety of research projects and innovative technology tested in the greenhouse.

Visionstate Introduces Technology Upgrades to Its WANDATM IoT Solution
Edmonton, Alberta, June 24, 2021 - Visionstate Corp. (TSX-V: VIS) (“Visionstate” or the “Company”), a company that develops and invests in the research and development of promising new technology within the realms of the Internet of Things (IoT), big data and analytics, and sustainability, is pleased to announce significant new enhancements to its WANDATM Internet of Things solution.
The new technological capabilities include:
a QR Code feature that can be scanned by customers for feedback and can be used by cleaning staff for proof of location and to record activities on WandaMOBILE;
an auto-supply replenishment system to provide for just-in-time inventory capabilities, enabling WANDATM e-commerce function;
an overhaul to the analytics reporting that will provide more insights into cleaning efficiency and predictive measures.
Through the introduction of the new QR Code feature, WANDATM’s footprint will be effectively expanded to best reflect the new normal that has resulted from the COVID-19 pandemic. Given the nature of the pandemic resulting in customers’ reluctance to interact with WANDATM touchscreen units to input their feedback, Visionstate has implemented a QR Code system to provide for increased interaction through the comfort of smartphone devices. Additional new features also allow staff to scan the QR code and create an audit trail of their presence as well as use WandaMOBILE to record their activities and supply usage, among other critical information used to measure performance and efficiency.
Another value-add in the implementation of this new feature is to make the WANDATM solution less restroom-centric, with virtually no limitations on where QR codes can be incorporated. The QR code-driven WANDA™ is quick to deploy, with no physical hardware required, and can be disbursed throughout large public facilities in a matter of days.
In more exciting news on the technology development front, Visionstate is working with a global partner to enable automatic supply replenishment through the WANDATM solution. Through a cohesive effort, Visionstate aims to integrate a backend ordering system to provide for just-in-time inventory capabilities. Given the existing WANDATM processes that track inventory and supply usage, this welcome addition will allow customers to access the WANDATM portal to order directly from its global partner.
Given the importance of analytics as a tool to assess efficiency and gain insights into operations, Visionstate will be ramping up its analytics reporting to provide facility managers with more detailed insights into their cleaning efficiency. The objective behind the analytics overhaul is to enhance the derivation of predictive analytics on supplies and maintenance, using highly accurate people-counting sensors. The new analytics platform’s ability to predict supply shortages and maintenance issues based on foot traffic removes the need to have sensor-enabled devices inside the public facilities.
"Visionstate has always been dedicated to continuous development on all fronts - as the world changes, so do we. Our tech team, in conjunction with our partners, has been working on several advancements over the past year which are now seeing light and are very much appreciated by our customers and their customers accordingly. We will keep working on improving the existing suite of solutions and adding on to it as we go," said John Putters, CEO of Visionstate Corp.

Visionstate Announces Changes to Its Board of Directors
Edmonton, Alberta, June 11, 2021 - Visionstate Corp. (TSX-V: VIS) (“Visionstate” or the “Company”), a company that develops, and invests in the research and development of promising new technology in the realm of the Internet of Things, big data and analytics, and sustainability, today announces the resignation of two directors, Paul Fairbridge and Debra Williams, effective immediately. Both Paul and Debra have been dedicated and helpful in their roles on the Board of Directors for the Company for many years prior to their decision to step away due to personal reasons.
Paul Fairbridge helped guide the Company through some very challenging years. Now that the Company is sufficiently financed and profitable, Paul is comfortable to leave his job as Chairman of Visionstate to pursue his objectives of retiring and travelling more. A personal friend of Mr. Putters, and a retired executive with Ivanhoe Cambridge, one of the largest shopping centre operators in Canada, Paul is keen to watch his investment in the Company grow from the sidelines.
Debra Williams contributed to the growth of Visionstate in significant ways over the course of several years, including introducing and managing the first casino installment deal for Visionstate’s core WANDA™ product. A master at managing deployment along with customer service, Debra has decided to spend more time with her family, especially her three young grandchildren. A large investor in Visionstate, Debra will closely follow the Company’s progress.
John Putters, President and CEO, commented: “While news of departures is never welcomed, management also has the opportunity to make room for other talent to step in when Directors move on to pursue other passions. I cannot begin to explain how honoured we have been having these talented individuals assist Visionstate for so many years. Everyone at Visionstate sincerely thanks both Paul and Debra and wishes them good health and happiness always. We, in turn, are now looking at recruiting a new board member to provide bench-strength that will help take the Company into the next chapter.”

Visionstate’s Distribution Partner Bunzl Canada Collaborates with Tork to Upgrade WANDA IoT Solution
Edmonton, Alberta, June 9, 2021 - Visionstate Corp. (TSX-V: VIS) (“Visionstate” or the “Company”), a company that develops, and invests in the research and development of, promising new technology in the realm of the Internet of Things, big data and analytics, and sustainability, is pleased to announce that its distribution partner, Bunzl Canada, a division of Bunzl Distribution USA, LLC, has partnered with Tork®, a leading global health and hygiene company, to integrate Visionstate’s WANDA™ facility management solution (labelled as wandaNEXT™ by Bunzl Canada) and Tork’s smart dispenser data into Bunzl’s digital cleaning program at Queen’s University in Kingston, Ontario.
wandaNEXT™, developed by Visionstate IoT and now in partnership with Bunzl, is a cleaning program management system with multiple IoT sensor-enabled data collection components. Its mobile application guides cleaning teams through customized cleaning procedures. The system’s audit function and real-time reporting gives facilities management continuous visibility so they can make scheduling adjustments, assign tasks, address training requirements, trigger supply orders and proactively address service requirements.
The pilot installation at Queen’s has the enthusiastic endorsement of the university’s facilities team. “We have always looked for opportunities to innovate to continually improve and enhance the cleanliness of our facilities,” said Barbara Wowk, Manager, Facilities, Housing and Ancillary Services at Queen’s University’s Residence Facilities Team. “We’re excited to work with Bunzl on this pilot installation to help us improve efficiency and enable our custodial team to devote additional time and attention to enhanced cleaning and hygiene protocols that are so critical to the health and safety of our students and faculty.”
The wandaNEXT™ solution combines comprehensive digital cleaning program management, including traffic monitoring, cleaning scheduling, task management and compliance reporting, with real-time dispenser data powered by Tork®. This real-time data helps cleaning teams work smarter by targeting immediate needs and proactively refilling dispensing units to improve hygiene and reduce waste.
“It’s a privilege to work in partnership with the Queen’s Facilities Team,” said Brock Tully, Vice President, Bunzl Cleaning & Hygiene. “They are committed to helping create a truly exceptional education experience, and wandaNEXT™ is an industry-leading innovation to help them do that. By using data from Tork®, one of the most trusted product brands with state-of-the-art smart dispensing, and a variety of other data collection points, the system tracks, verifies and validates cleaning quality and efficiency against specific cleaning protocols. That gives our customers the confidence that their facilities are healthy and safe - with proven results.”
wandaNEXT™ has a growing installation base that includes healthcare, retail, commercial office, conference, airport and distribution facilities across Canada and the United States. It has already been launched in the United Kingdom and Australia and was also recently introduced to the Belgian healthcare marketplace.
John Putters, President & CEO of Visionstate Corp., added: “It gives us nothing but pleasure to see WANDA™ penetrating new verticals and growing on a global scale too. Our suite of solutions keeps growing and Visionstate IoT is constantly working on technical upgrades and improvements. We see our efforts paying off every time out distribution partner makes yet another big sale or enters into agreements with other high-profile industry players. Our solutions do not have direct competition in the industry and WANDA™’s imprint can grow exponentially, both geographically and across verticals. Visionstate is looking forward to updating the market on further successes of the Company and its partners.”

Visionstate Reports Q2 2021 Results Highlighted by Growing Revenues and Profitability
Edmonton, Alberta, June 1, 2021 - Visionstate Corp. (TSX-V: VIS) (“Visionstate” or the “Company”), a company that develops, and invests in the research and development of, promising new technology in the realm of the Internet of Things, big data and analytics, and sustainability, is pleased to announce its second consecutive profitable quarter for the period ended March 31, 2021.
Highlights of the Second Quarter of 2021 include:
Total Revenue of $227,663 representing a tenfold increase compared to $20,256 during the same period in 2020.
Gross Profit of $225,218 compared to $18,702 during the same period in 2020.
Net Income (Loss) of $31,763 compared to ($192,572) during the same period in 2020.
To review the financial statements and MD&A for the quarter, please click here.
The development and subsequent deployment of WandaMOBILE represents a significant shift in the Company’s ability to provide a more comprehensive solution to the facility management industry. While WANDA™ tablets have historically been restroom centric, the mobile app expands the ability to collect data of cleaning activities throughout a facility. Management believes the addition of the mobile app to the WANDA™ suite of products will have a significant impact on future revenue generation.
Visionstate IoT sells its products through a large, global distributor (Bunzl) which carries inventory of the WANDA™ device and distributes directly to customers. In October 2020, the Company entered into a new three-year agreement with its partner that includes sales, marketing and distribution of the WANDA™ products. The agreement enables Visionstate to focus on developing new IoT technology while it earns residual revenue through license fees. The agreement also includes monthly retainer fees which represents a new and consistent revenue source for Visionstate.
John Putters, Founder and CEO of Visionstate, comments: “This is certainly an exciting time in the Company’s history. Revenues are driven primarily by the sale of our IoT product and derived from recurring licensing and software support fees, thus as the number of units increase, so does the revenue. With the Bunzl partnership in place, we were able to successfully focus the Company’s attention on the continued enhancement of the product software while leaving the sales and inventory management to the expertise of our partner. This will allow VIS to continue expanding the capabilities of the WANDA™ solution while collecting residual license and initial set up fees from Bunzl. We look forward to the rapid growth thanks to the nature of our software-as-a-service revenue model and continuing to innovate and expand into other industry verticals that are also focused on sustainability through data management.”

Visionstate Signs Letter of Intent to Acquire Exceed Solar, a Renewable Energy Company
Edmonton, Alberta, April 23, 2021 - Visionstate Corp. (TSX-V: VIS) (“Visionstate” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce that on April 15, 2021, it has signed a Letter of Intent to acquire the outstanding shares of Exceed Solar, an Alberta-based renewable energy company focused on smart, high-tech building envelopes for residential applications. The strategic acquisition is in line with Visionstate’s mission of advancing sustainability and represents a business opportunity for both companies as they explore synergies between their technologies.
Visionstate Corp. will acquire the outstanding shares of Exceed Solar for $100,000 cash and $200,000 in Visionstate Corp. shares at $0.10 for a total consideration of $300,000. Visionstate currently owns 40% of Exceed Solar through a convertible debenture of $200,000 signed between the companies in April 2018. The acquisition of Exceed Solar, valued at a total of $500,000, was approved by shareholders of Visionstate Corp. at the Company’s Annual General Meeting in October 2020.
Exceed Solar’s focus is on residential applications such as studios, greenhouses and garden suites that come packaged with plug-and-play solar energy. The company is currently executing on a high-tech, solar-powered greenhouse in partnership with the University of Alberta Engineering and Energy Management and Sustainable Operations departments. Research is focused on efficient energy use and cutting-edge growing applications in permaculture.
“Since the COVID-19 outbreak, more and more homeowners are turning toward backyard gardening to supplement their food supplies,” explained Visionstate CEO John Putters. “Food costs have risen dramatically over the past 18 months and will continue to do so as a result of climate change factors and the need for food security. Renewable energy applications will continue to grow in demand as we move toward using green energy to power our economies. We are very excited about the future of Exceed Solar.”
Exceed Solar’s corporate objective is to design building envelopes using sustainable materials, technology, and renewable energy in one scalable package. By using environmentally friendly structural insulated panels, the building envelopes can be easily scaled according to the project.
“Exceed Solar has learned from the evolution of computer development. Initially the PC was complex and required configuration and different components to work effectively. Today, consumers can purchase a complete package that only requires power,” added Putters.
Visionstate will be working with the Exceed Solar team and the University of Alberta to identify areas where IoT, or Internet of Things, technology can be incorporated to measure energy use and environmental conditions related to the growing cycle.
The acquisition of Exceed Solar is subject to the TSX Venture Exchange approval and a final approval from Visionstate Corp. Board of Directors.

Visionstate Creates Vertical to Dev. IoT Solutions within Cannabis Sector; Signs $500,000 Contract
Edmonton, Alberta, April 15, 2021 - Visionstate Corp. (TSX-V: VIS) (“Visionstate” or the “Company”), is pleased to announce it has created a new corporate entity named NEXT Vision Inc., a wholly owned division of Visionstate Corp., to develop Internet of Things (“IoT”) technology for the cannabis sector. By incorporating the Company’s solid knowhow from years developing, executing and selling software solutions for any kind of facility, Visionstate identified a need in facilities that grow and harvest cannabis, and to that end has landed a $500,000 contract.
NEXT Vision Inc. will leverage off the IoT platform for the facilities management sector to create new industry sectors.
Visionstate CEO John Putters explains, “There is no question that IoT technology is increasingly becoming critical to a corporation’s operations. Whether it’s analytics, predictive maintenance, or introducing new efficiencies in operations, IoT has demonstrated returns on investment. For licenced producers, the higher the crop’s quality coupled with cost-effective solutions, the better it is for the producer overall. We are focussing our technology on bringing about those positive results.”
Recently the cannabis sector has experienced a resurgence of activity as speculation mounts that the US will likely legalize or decriminalize cannabis at a federal level. Meanwhile, the cannabis sector has proven to be immune from the effects of COVID-19, witnessing increased sales and revenues despite the lockdowns that have occurred across Canada.
The inaugural contract provides NEXT Vision Inc. the ability to develop a tailored IoT solution for the cannabis sector. It includes introducing new sensor equipment, designing communication protocols between sensors, and developing robust data and analytics that provide insight into the efficiency of operations. Monitoring processes and equipment within larger licenced producers will include lighting, heat, and other environmental conditions, as well as standard procedures that are required to be met by the producers.
