*Smart IoT makes high-quality, custom sensors or Long Range data collection 

*CEO Jean Charles Phaneuf says, “Smart IoT is another building block in our Smart Connected Spaces strategy. Joining our forces gives us leverage to increase our footprint and growth plans.”

VANCOUVER, BC, March 23, 2021 /CNW/ – Carl Data Solutions Inc. (CSE:CRL) (FSE:7C5) (OTC:CDTAF) (“Carl Data” or the “Company”), a developer of Big-Data-as-a-Service (“BDaaS”)-based solutions for data integration, business intelligence and Industrial Internet-of-Things (“IIoT”) applications, has partnered with Smart IoT Technologies Inc. (“Smart IoT”) in an effort to provide high-value Environmental Monitoring as a Service (“EMaaS”) to their customers. This is a preferred supplier agreement, where Smart IoT Technologies will provide custom sensor development to complement Carl’s existing data analytic technology.

CEO Jean Charles Phaneuf says, “Smart IoT is another building block in our Smart Connected Spaces strategy. Joining our forces gives us leverage to increase our footprint and growth plans.”

Smart IoT Technologies specializes in manufacturing high-quality, custom sensors used for Long Range data collection (LoRa). By partnering with Carl Data, these sensors will be used to complement our existing suite of data collection technology and networks and expand into new markets. This strategic partnership will focus on growing the business in the Environmental Monitoring as a Service space.

LoRa technology is becoming increasingly popular, not only in the Environmental Monitoring as a Service industry but also by developers and integrators in different Smartcity market segments.

Yves Salembier of Carl Data states, “Demand for Environmental Monitoring as a Service constantly increases; as part of our ecosystem for air and water monitoring, we see the partnership with Smart IoT as a much-needed step up in the EMaaS value chain. Their device expertise combined with our time-series and AI/Machine Learning is a winning synthesis.”

Jimmy Jin, VP Operations from Smart IoT Technologies says, “This partnership bodes well for the future; we see significant opportunities in fusing our IoT device manufacturing and engineering with their time-series, real-time data analytics and AI capabilities. It is an end-to-end enabler for not only EMaaS but across multiple markets.”

The partnership will bring long-term growth opportunities for both companies as their technologies and service offerings continue to evolve.

VIDEO – ThreeD Capital $IDK $IDKFF NAV Climbs To $1.27 But Much More Expected To Come As “Teenage” and “Cub” Investments In The Portfolio Are Just Starting To Hunt $IP $IPNFF $MTRX $RACMF $PKK.ca $PKKFF $GMBL

A lion pride grows by continually nurturing new blood.  While new cubs are born every year and are nurtured for growth, the teenagers are groomed to prepare to take over leadership from the old guard. 

In the case of ThreeD Capital (IDK:CSE / IDKFF:OTCQB), the company’s portfolio might be too young for any old guards just yet …. but teenagers like Esports Entertainment Group (NASDAQ), Peak Fintech Group (Imminent NASDAQ), Loop Insights (Global Partnerships) and ImagineAR (Global Partnerships) are maturing very nicely with their long leadership years still ahead of them according to Chairman Sheldon Inwentash. 

ThreeD Capital prides (pardon the pun) itself on discovering great companies before everyone else … and it casts a wide net to find the best of the best ranging from completely disruptive companies to junior resources and mining companies .  

More importantly, Inwentash’s championship investment style has netted billion dollar exits in the past simply because he isn’t afraid to invest and be patient for markets to catch up to his great early ideas.  Case in point, he points out how he was early into Esports Entertainment Group on the OTC, with the market only now catching up to it as an $18 NASDAQ stock …. that is set to go much higher in the next 2 -3 years. 

As such, it’s like and ETF for ground floor investments that small cap investors would either be unable to find (private) or unable to participate in (early round accredited investors) 

More than just lip service, his last company commanded a market cap north of $1 Billion at its peak and now he’s looking to recreate the same success with IDK – only faster given the great and fast growing technology companies he is investing in. 

Will he do it?  He’s off to a good start so far by quietly making investments over the past couple of years that are now starting to pay off, as seen by his recently reported NAV (Net Asset Value) of $1.27.   

But that NAV is just scratching the surface when you consider the fact his teens have just barely started their hunting phase and he’s adding new cubs just about every week as of late. 

Watch this great interview … because when the king of the jungle roars, every small cap investor should be listening.

VIDEO – Loop Insights $MTRX Pilot Test With Sobeys, Canada’s 2nd Largest Grocer, Is “An Obvious Fit” That Could Extend To 1,500 Stores and 15,000 Registers If Successful $AT.ca $QTRH.ca $SNSR $BSQR $PTS.ca

Loop Insights is a provider of contactless solutions and artificial intelligence (“AI”) to drive real-time insights and enhanced customer engagement to the brick and mortar space.  

What does this mean?  Loops real-time AI data capabilities changes everything about your check out experience at a brick and mortar store.  Up until now, you simply walked up to the register and paid your bill.  If you were lucky, you were handed some coupons for your next visit.  It didn’t matter if those coupons didn’t apply to you, everybody got one.

Loop “Insights”, on the other hand, uses data and artificial intelligence to instantly determine what would be important to you and makes you an offer on the spot to buy more product from the store or their e-commerce site.  More than just lip service, here is what Sobeys Chief Information Officer Bruce Burrows had to say: 

Loop Insights’ diverse suite of services was an obvious fit for Sobeys as we look to drive consumer engagement and close gaps in our personalization of the customer experience. By testing Loop’s Fobi device in our retail operations, we hope to connect more directly with customers while returning AI-driven insights to optimize our retail operations.” 

“An obvious fit” for a company with $28 BILLION in revenue pretty much tells you everything you need to know … but if you think that sounds powerful, then you should know that it is just scratching the surface of Loop capabilities.   

To understand more, you need to watch this great interview with Loop Insights CEO, Rob Anson.

  • Announced the successful execution of its venue management platform which protected NCAA athletes, coaches, media, staff, and fans at the 2021 Big West Conference Championship in Las Vegas.
  • 2021 Big West Conference Championship is the third NCAA event that has benefited from Loop Insights’ best-in-class venue management platform.

VANCOUVER, British Columbia, March 15, 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 venue tracing to the brick and mortar space, is pleased to announce the successful execution of its venue management platform which protected NCAA athletes, coaches, media, staff, and fans at the 2021 Big West Conference Championship in Las Vegas. 

BIG WEST CHAMPIONSHIP REPRESENTS LARGEST-EVER VENUE BUBBLEAND MOST SUCCESSFUL LIVE SHOWCASE FOR MAJOR SPORTS AND HOSPITALITY PROSPECTS

The 2021 Big West Conference Championship is the third NCAA event that has benefited from Loop Insights’ best-in-class venue management platform. The winners of the tournament have earned their way into the 2021 March Madness tournament to be held this month in Indianapolis. In partnership with bdG sports, the Big West Conference Championship was the largest “venue bubble” deployed by Loop to date.

Loop Insights CEO Rob Anson stated: “I am extremely proud of my team and thankful to all of those who took part in ensuring the Big West Conference Championship Tournament was a huge success. With the golf season underway, the NHL and NBA playoffs right around the corner, and the MLB and WNBA regular seasons nearly ready to being, the success and timing of this event could not have been better given the entities we were able to showcase our platform’s capabilities to. Add in the Nevada announcement moving to 50% capacity as of today and the multiple advanced discussions we are having with some of the largest organizations in the state made it a dream week for Loop and its shareholders.”  

bdG Sports CEO, Brooks Downing stated: “We are very proud of another successful tournament at the Big West Conference Championships in partnership with Loop. The Loop Insights platform provided enhanced security with a user-friendly experience that allowed athletes and staff to onboard to the platform seamlessly. We look forward to working with Loop Insights again as the sports industry begins to welcome fans back to events once again.”

Downing further added, in a recent interview from the floor of Mandalay Bay Events Center with CEO Anson, the following comments with respect to the power of Loop Insights going beyond venue tracing and into “1-to-1” fan engagement through Loop’s Artificial Intelligence as an evolution of the fan experience and a brand new source of revenue:

NEVADA ANNOUNCEMENT OF 50% CAPACITY EVENTS ACCELERATES LOOP DISCUSSIONS WITH MAJOR SPORTS AND HOSPITALITY EVENTS STEMMING FROM LIVE VENUE BUBBLE DEMONSTRATIONS

On March 12, Nevada announced it would be allowing gatherings, including sporting events, conventions, and trade shows, to operate at 50% capacity starting today.  The Las Vegas Sun stated:

“The increase will be beneficial for everyone from the Golden Knights (up to 9,000 fans at T-Mobile Arena) to the many casino showrooms with performances scheduled to soon return.”

The successful deployment, scale, and execution at the Big West Conference Championships, coupled with previous live event successes, has clearly established Loop as the best-in-class venue management platform for major sporting events.

Loop Insights had already commenced multiple and advanced negotiations with Nevada-based hospitality and sports entities with the success of its first Nevada bubble on December 1, 2020. The move to 50% capacity has now significantly accelerated those discussions, as well as spawned additional discussions with major professional sports teams and leagues outside Nevada that have become top priorities in the month of March given their time sensitivity.

CEO Rob Anson added “There is simply no way to overstate the implications of yet another live environment success and the concurrent level of discussions in Las Vegas over the past 10 days. With the entire sports world watching, Loop hit it out of the park and provided both Nevada and the world with the empirical data necessary to demonstrate our solution is the best in the world. We still have work to be done but we are moving close to the possibility of Loop helping re-open some of North America’s largest sporting events.”
