In a recent InvestorNews interview, Tracy Weslosky sat down with Visionstate Corp. (TSXV: VIS) CEO, John Putters, to discuss the exciting news that broke on October 16, 2023. Visionstate Corp. announced a significant partnership with Bunzl Canada Inc., setting the stage for game-changing advancements in the global facility-management sector.

The New Milestone

The heart of the news is a three-year contract with Bunzl Canada Inc., granting them exclusive distribution rights for Visionstate’s proprietary product, WandaNEXT, in Canada, Australia, and the UK. This new agreement doesn’t just represent a business decision but marks a notable leap for Visionstate IoT, predicting a potential doubling of their existing revenue tied to Canadian distribution. Beyond revenue, this partnership signifies Visionstate’s commitment to global expansion and their determination to raise the bar in facility management.

WandaNEXT, Visionstate’s premium offering, is an application used across multiple industry sectors to monitor cleaning protocols and elevate service delivery standards. In today’s world, cleanliness isn’t just about appearance; it’s about safety and efficiency. Visionstate’s technology plays a pivotal role in ensuring these standards are upheld consistently.

John Putters expressed his enthusiasm about the extended partnership with Bunzl Canada, emphasizing the importance of the agreement in realizing their global aspirations and underscoring the product’s value. The collaboration isn’t just about distribution; it’s about mutual growth, with both companies playing pivotal roles in refining and enhancing the WandaNEXT platform.

A Deep Dive into WandaNEXT

For those unfamiliar with WandaNEXT, Putters provided a comprehensive overview during the interview. The core product, WANDA™, is designed to track cleaning and maintenance activities across diverse facilities, from hospitals and airports to shopping centers. With the pandemic reshaping how we view cleanliness, systems like WANDA™, which offers real-time actionable insights, have become indispensable.

Putters further expounded on WANDA™’s diverse applications, explaining its use beyond restrooms to provide a comprehensive overview of facility management. By leveraging QR codes, the product tracks cleaning staff activities, resources used, and ensures protocols are met. Such details are invaluable, especially in settings like universities, where assurances of cleanliness directly impact the comfort and safety of students.

An often-overlooked aspect of facility management is liability. With WANDA™, facilities can now provide detailed breakdowns in case of incidents, eliminating the need to rely on rudimentary systems like signed papers.

A Future-Focused Vision

The partnership between Visionstate and Bunzl Canada is more than just a business agreement; it represents a shared vision. As Putters aptly put it, this partnership is spearheading the “digitalization of facility management.” With giants like Bunzl Cleaning and Hygiene backing Visionstate, the path forward looks promising.

In concluding the interview, both Weslosky and Putters echoed a sentiment that resonates with many in the industry: The future of facility management is digital, and partnerships like this will shape its evolution.

The cleaning industry is on the brink of transformation, and Visionstate, with Bunzl Canada by its side, is poised to lead the charge. This partnership symbolizes a shared commitment to innovation, efficiency, and above all, elevating the standards of cleanliness and operational excellence on a global scale.

In this InvestorIntel interview, host Tracy Weslosky talks to Visionstate Corp.‘s (TSXV: VIS) CEO John Putters about the increase in sales and diversification of its client base for its WANDA family of facility management software, as well as its investment in portfolio companies.

John tells Tracy the need for facilities maintenance software increased dramatically during Covid, and “we’re seeing a dramatic increase not only these sales but the adoption of our software across many different sectors.” As a result of increased sales, he continues, “based on the last six months in terms of growth and installations, we fully expect to be profitable by the end of our fiscal year 2023, which would end September 30th in 2023, and we’re well on that path.”

In the interview John also talks about Visionstate’s portfolio companies, including Freedom Cannabis Inc., a Canadian producer of cannabis products, that signed a definitive agreement to acquire the assets of Calgary-based Boaz Pharmaceuticals and recently set a record for monthly revenue at $2 million. “They’re growing fast and they’re one of the dominant companies now in the Canadian landscape in terms of their sales on the retail side of things,” John says. “The reason why Visionstate invested in them is because we worked with them on IOT [Internet of Things] technology… and we’re working with them to expand that throughout the cannabis sector.” The goal, John explains, is for Freedom Cannabis to become a public company, providing Visionstate with liquidity.

The Internet of Things (IoT) is just taking off now. The Global IoT market size is forecast to grow from US$478.36 billion in 2022 to US$2,465.26 billion by 2029, at a CAGR of 26.4%. In some cases, the current global supply chain disruptions and rising costs are highlighting the need to have good IoT processes in place and thereby accelerating the rollout of the IOT.

Visionstate Corp. (TSXV: VIS) (Visionstate) is a growth oriented company that invests in the research and development of promising new technology in the realm of the Internet of Things, big data & analytics, and sustainability.

Visionstate has developed their WANDA™ family of IoT software products which are used in hospitals, seniors/aged care centres, airports, shopping centres and other public facilities across and beyond North America. The products include wandaNEXT™ and wandaMOBILE™.

Some common applications for the WANDA™ family of products include:

• wandaNEXT™ – Is a system that offers real-time ‘notifications, analytics & reporting’ as well as an understanding of staff performance and facility needs. One example might be cleaning services in a hospital or other facility. wandaNEXT™ preassigned managers and designated cleaning staff are instantly notified when a patron requests service through wandaNEXT™. Cleaning staff then use wandaNEXT™ to record their response. wandaNEXT™ captures the exact time service is requested, the specific type of service required, and how quickly the cleaning staff responds to the request. There is also a dashboard where you can summon reports that give a detailed deep dive into a facility’s data (results).
• wandaMOBILE™ – Uses quickscan QR codes to track the hard work and supplies of frontline cleaning and maintenance workers. As above, staff is automatically notified when someone uses their mobile device and a WANDA™ Quickscan QR Code to request service. Then, with either WANDA™’s available hand-held devices or their own personal phones and tablets, cleaning and maintenance staff use the WANDA™ Mobile App and the Quickscan QR Code to record their response activities.

Recent news

In some interesting news reported in April 2022, Visionstate announced that their Internet of Things software solution for facilities (WANDA™) has gone global, with adoption accelerating due to COVID-19. The news stated: “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.”

Visionstate investments

Apart from its WANDA™ products, Visionstate has invested in two organizations, Exceed Solar and Freedom Cannabis.

Exceed Solar specializes in solar applications including backyard garden suites and greenhouses that are powered by renewable energy. They use cutting edge technology and building materials to maximize efficiency. The Company is currently developing a smaller, secure, solar-powered backyard greenhouse that caters to the home growing market for cannabis.

Freedom Cannabis is a private, seed-to-sale cannabis company currently in the application process with Health Canada to become a licensed producer. They are completing the first phase of their growing operations of approximately 73,000 square feet in Acheson, Alberta, Canada.

Closing remarks

The IoT sector looks set for very high growth (one forecast is a CAGR of 26.4%) in the next few years and companies that can succeed in this area stand to do very well. Visionstate’s primary focus is their suite of IoT software products under their WANDA™ brand. A global rollout is still in the early stages but has been helped by increasing demand as a result of COVID-19.

Visionstate’s 2021 revenue was ~C$540K and the Company trades on a market cap of C$3 million.

In a recent InvestorIntel interview, Tracy Weslosky spoke with Dr. Jon Gluckman, President and CEO of Sixth Wave Innovations Inc. (CSE: SIXW | OTCQB: SIXWF) about Sixth Wave’s virus detection technology for SARS-CoV-2 and about their partnership with TraceSafe Inc. for the detection of viruses and pathogens in animals.

In this InvestorIntel interview, which may also be viewed on YouTube (click here to subscribe to the InvestorIntel Channel), Dr. Gluckman said that Sixth Wave’s virus detection technology is based on molecular imprinted polymer and “…can detect the COVID-19 virus and all its variants, at levels that are better than immunoassay tests.” He went on to highlight the growing instances of disease outbreaks in animals caused by viruses and pathogens that can impact our food supplies. Dr. Gluckman also explained how Sixth Wave is working with TraceSafe to develop a first-of-its-kind solution that can prevent and contain deadly viruses and pathogens in animals and provide real-time updates across the entire food supply chain.

The number of Internet of Things (IoT) devices worldwide is forecast to almost triple from 8.74 billion in 2020 to more than 25.4 billion IoT devices in 2030. The global market for IoT end-user solutions is expected to grow from US$212 billion in size at the end of 2019 to around US$1.6 trillion by 2025. That would be a spectacular 7.5 fold increase in revenue. Another forecast is to reach US$1.2 trillion by 2022 which would clearly mean even more rapid adoption.

One niche IoT company that could potentially ride the wave of the IoT movement is Direct Communication Solutions Inc. (CSE: DCSI | OTCQB: DCSX) (‘DCS’). DCS is a technology solutions integrator focusing on connecting the IoT. DCS’s solutions provide better ways for businesses to collect and assess business-critical data from all types of assets and devices using their hardware, software applications and scalable cloud services.

Closing remarks

DCS is an up-and-coming IoT company with a motto to “connect anything, anywhere”. With global IoT revenues forecast to grow 7.5x from the end of 2019 to 2025, it looks like DCS is in the right place at the right time.

Over the past year, DCS’s product range has expanded considerably. Given this and their competitive advantages, it looks likely revenues will continue to potentially increase in the years ahead.

Direct Communication Solutions is headquartered in San Diego, California and has a market cap of C$27M. One to watch in 2021 as they continue to commercialize their competitive IoT products and platform services.

“We did $16 million last year in revenue. We are on track to ship some of that revenue into more recurring revenue stream at higher margins. We are undervalued…” starts Chris Bursey, CEO and Founder of Direct Communication Solutions, Inc. (CSE: DCSI | OTCQB: DCSX) (DCS), in an interview with InvestorIntel’s Tracy Weslosky.

Chris went on to say that DCS is focusing on being a solutions enabler. DCS builds solutions for companies that allow them to take advantage of the Internet of Things (IoT). MiSensors is a part of the overall solution. He added, “If you look at the market today, it is one sensor function per sensor. We have combined eight sensor functions into one sensor. It is going to allow us to be disruptive in the market. It is an open architecture that we have built in the backend. You will be able to inject other sensors and other technologies as well.”

Chris also spoke on DCS’ Brewsee platform which is a beer life cycle monitor and control system. He said that the average loss in a keg of draft beer is roughly 20% across the industry. He continued, “We have designed a solution that will monitor the temperature, the flow, the CO2 pressure, foam over beer and shutoff valves. The bar and restaurant owners can take that data and see how many ounces of beer were poured versus how many are actually sold.”
