A Proprietary Tech Named ‘Wanda’ is what John Putters calls a Visionstate

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.

Visionstate cleaning up with the Internet of Things

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.
