Universal PropTech $UPI.ca – An Integrated and Holistic Approach Stops the Spread of #Covid-19 in Public Facilities #AI #IoT $SNE $MSFT $HON

Posted by AGORACOM-JC at 8:23 AM on Tuesday, January 19th, 2021

Public facilities serve their specific purposes, whether they be to educate children, support communities with meeting space and programs, house and support our elderly, maintain the movement of people, or supporting our emergency services resources. It is not an understatement to claim that ensuring these facilities are able to open and operate in a safe and healthy manner underpins the ability for our economy to re-open and thrive. There is no other way.

Despite the rolling out of vaccines, it is also obvious that while 2021 offers a light at the end of the tunnel, not much has changed from the devastation left from the wake of the 2nd wave. Newly identified strain variants don’t guarantee the long-term effectiveness of the vaccines, but resemble more of an equivalent of ongoing serious flu seasons. 

Thinking through how facilities can operate in a safe and healthy manner, what are to be likely challenges? What would success look like? 

Firstly, before people are able to enter a facility, there must be systems in place to assess, in real time, whether people have Covid-19. One way to eliminate the spread of the virus within the facility is ensuring that those who are asymptomatic and may be unaware, are denied access. There are a number of ways to accomplish this, ranging from regular testing, increased speed to generate results, and ability to manage access more effectively.

In our December 30 Interview with Loop Insights (MTRX:TSXV /  RACMF:OTCQB) CEO Rob Anson titled 2021 “A Year Of Major Growth and Expansion”, two quotes from him stood out above all:

When we look back at 2020 this time next year … what we’ve done is very little in my opinion to date.”

Wait … What?

“This year (2021) will see major growth and expansion …. We’re about to reap the rewards from all the groundwork and that is exciting to me … This will be our biggest year by a country mile”

Given the fact we had to do this interview on a Sunday due to Anson “putting in 100 work weeks” and “18-20 Zoom presentations per day”,  as well as, 4 pretty significant press releases in the first 2 weeks of 2021, Anson is living up to his word.

Moreover, in this interview, he shows no hesitation when asked if he still feels the same way about 2021.

Watch this great Sunday morning interview with Loop Insights Founder and CEO, Rob Anson.

3 Days After #Draganfly $DFLY.ca $DFLYF CEO Cam Chell Says “I’ll Build The Company Into One of The Top Three Drone Companies”, Company Announces #NASDAQ Intentions $FLT.ca $UAVS $ALPP

Posted by AGORACOM-JC at 8:04 AM on Thursday, January 14th, 2021

Most of us know drones as cool toys flying around the neighbourhood, or perhaps even as simple commercial applications for things like real estate videos. 

But the fact of the matter is that drone usage is about to go parabolic with huge corporations now testing ways to:

  • Use drones to provide Internet connections in remote locations. 
  • Use drones to collect crowd data.
  • ….. And there’s even a start-up that’s using drones to deliver tacos to your door.

In short, the drone industry is booming in ways people can’t imagine because the industry is shifting from the drones (hardware) to data … and one company is already ahead of the shift … DraganFly (DFLY: CSE) (DFLYF:OTCQB) (3U8:FSE)

DraganFly is an award-winning drone manufacturer and technology developer that is actually delivering some pretty incredible achievements, milestones and even history:

  • Established in 1998 DFLY is considered the oldest commercial drone company in the world
  • Built the first drone that saved a life
    • Boasts the first drone to be inducted into the Smithsonian National Air & Space Museum
  • Developing a Vaccine Drone Delivery Payload System (it’s way more complicated than just transporting vaccines)
  • Detect infectious conditions in a person from a distance of 190 feet
  • Conduct phenotyping, data collection and analysis by the USDA

Clients include:

  •  Ford
  • Warner Brothers
  • Suncor Energy
  • Shell
  • Redbull
  • Government of Canada 
    • Ontario Provincial Police, 
    • Australian Federal Police, 
    • Royal Canadian Mounted Police, 
    • Illinois State Police, 
    • Shell
    • Dow 

Most recently, DFLY’s Vital Intelligence technology was selected for implementation by Knightscope, a leader in a leader in autonomous robot security capabilities.  

With all of this under the Company’s belt, it’s easy to see why CEO Chell believes DFLY will become one of the top 3 drone companies in the world and why they have now begun the process of listing on NASDAQ.

If you believe in the massive parabolic growth in the use of drones for almost everything we do in this world, or are just learning, then watch / listen to this powerful interview with Draganfly CEO and Chairman, Cameron Chell.

Loop Insights $MTRX $RACMF Enters UK Market With Pilot Agreement For Leading UK Pharmacy Solutions Provider, Servicing 12,000 Pharmacies Across United Kingdom $AT.ca $QTRH.ca $SNSR $BSQR $PTS.ca

  • Announced the signing of a Pilot Agreement with PharmAssist Solutions to implement Loop’s analytics platform into multiple independent pharmacy affiliated locations.
  • Pharmassist is an independent pharmacy solutions provider that serves 15% of the UK market with 12,000 independent pharmacies.
  • Upon successful completion of the Pilot, it is the intention of both parties to implement Loop’s artificial intelligence-driven analytics platform across all 12,000 pharmacies in the United Kingdom.

VANCOUVER, British Columbia, Jan. 14, 2021 — Loop Insights Inc. (MTRX:TSXV)(RACMF:OTCQB) (the “Company” or “Loop”), a provider of contactless solutions and artificial intelligence (“AI”) to drive real-time insights, enhanced customer engagement, and automated contact tracing to the brick and mortar space, is pleased to announce the signing of a Pilot Agreement with PharmAssist Solutions (“ Pharmassist ”) to implement Loop’s analytics platform into multiple independent pharmacy affiliated locations.

OPPORTUNITY FOR FULL IMPLEMENTATION ACROSS 12,000 LOCATIONS

Pharmassist is an independent pharmacy solutions provider that serves 15% of the UK market with 12,000 independent pharmacies. Upon successful completion of the Pilot, it is the intention of both parties to implement Loop’s artificial intelligence-driven analytics platform across all 12,000 pharmacies in the United Kingdom.

Pharmassist Managing Director Amar Randhawa stated, “Loop Insights data analytics solution is a game-changer for independent pharmacies here in the UK. PharmAssist Solutions has been integral to the success of the independent chain, and adding Loop’s ability to understand transaction details, shopping behaviors and habits, trends, and other powerful pieces of information once thought lost, will provide a massive benefit to each individual pharmacy. Understanding what products have been sold and prescribed gives these independents the ability to offer personal, relevant, and adjacent over the counter products to consumers, increasing sales, and delivering a more personal experience in-store. We are excited to be the first solutions provider in the UK market to offer this, and expect great uptake of the solution to our growing customer base.”

INSIGHTS REVENUE MODEL PROVIDES POTENTIAL FOR $USD 28.8 MILLION IN ANNUAL REVENUES UPON SUCCESSFUL COMPLETION OF PILOT

On November 4, 2020 , Loop announced it successfully completed a similar Pilot at 20 stores and was rolling out to all 550 retail locations of Your CBD Store . In that press release, the Company provided details with respect to its “Insights” pricing model including $USD 50 per month per till, with an average of 4 tills per retail location, which would equate to potential monthly recurring revenue of $USD 2,400,000 or $USD 28,800,000.

In addition, when the Company’s automated marketing “Engage” service and wallet pass loyalty applications are layered in, these numbers quickly multiply by 5-10x and provide the company with an even more significant potential revenue stream.

Loop Insights CEO Rob Anson stated, “Signing this Pilot with Pharmassist in the very early days of 2021 serves as a strong indication of Loop’s anticipated penetration into the UK and European markets. Coupled with our recently announced LOI to acquire Passcreator and take control of our technology in anticipation of major business developments in 2021, I can unequivocally say that Loop is heading into a major growth phase as promised in our letter to shareholders at the end of 2020.”
