VANCOUVER, BC, Oct. 8, 2020 – Loop Insights Inc. (TSXV: MTRX) (OTCQB: RACMF) (the “Company” or “Loop”), a provider of contactless solutions and artificial intelligence (“AI”) to drive automated marketing, venue tracing, and contactless solutions to the brick and mortar space, announces the signing of its first deal with partner bdG Sports (“bdG”) to provide venue tracing and enhanced fan engagement solutions for its #VegasBubble, which will feature NCAA Division I men’s and women’s basketball when the new season launches next month.

LOOP ALLOWS #VEGASBUBBLE TO ACHIEVE CONTACTLESS AND CASHLESS GOALS TOWARD ECONOMIC RECOVERY FOR LAS VEGAS

The global pandemic has overturned nearly every team’s schedule for the upcoming season. It has created the need for an easily accessible destination location where teams can play under the same health and safety protocols. In response to the revised NCAA Division I 2020-21 season, bdG, one of the nation’s leading content providers in college basketball programming, is playing host to multiple men’s and women’s college basketball tournaments as well as non-conference matchups and opportunities for additional regular-season games.

Labeled the “#VegasBubble,” bdG has worked closely with MGM Resorts to establish comprehensive health and safety protocols for its participants, officials, and game operations personnel with Loop’s venue tracing platform anchoring the overall plan. Games are to be played at MGM Grand Garden Arena, Mandalay Bay Events Center, and T-Mobile Arena between November 25 and December 22, 2020, in Las Vegas.

“Our No. 1 priority in offering up a safe and secure environment for our teams was to have a robust safety plan,” said Brooks Downing, CEO of Kentucky-based bdG Sports. “And as a complementary asset to our testing that we are planning to implement is Loop Insight’s venue tracing. It’s easy to implement and will help ensure that our teams will be safe and secure whether they are in the resort or the gym.”

The added layer of protection requires no app download and only a tap of the user’s device to check-in for protection and alerts. Loop’s SmarTap devices will be installed to log every individual that enters the convention center’s team areas, practice sites, and the arenas. Each individual will check-in using their Loop provided contact tracing wallet pass. In the case a person tests positive during one of bdG’s COVID-19 tests, Loop’s solution allows event staff to quickly identify individuals in proximity to that person and isolate potentially infected individuals as soon as possible for follow-up testing.

Moreover, Loop’s contactless ticketing solution will add a further layer of protection by removing the manual processes associated with ticketing, while also delivering artificial intelligence marketing solutions. This will provide real-time personalized promotions and targeted engagement that reinvent the live fan experience.

“Interest in Loop’s integrated contactless platform by NCAA Division I conferences, schools, and now events have been significant over the past couple of months as they desperately search for best of breed solutions that will allow them to safely restart operations and generate revenue,” said Rob Anson, CEO of Loop Insights. “Being selected for the Vegas bubble is more validation and another major opportunity for Loop to showcase our contactless capabilities on a large-scale project with a global audience. With this agreement, it is fair to say that Loop continues to be the leader in live venue contactless technology.”

CHANNEL RESELLER PARTNERSHIP WITH BDG SPORTS YIELDS IMMEDIATE BIG RESULTS

On August 13, Loop announced a channel reseller partnership with bdG Sports, a leading representation, event management, and public relations firm operating within the global sports marketing industry. bdG Sports is one of the largest college basketball content providers in the United States, having managed NCAA Division I tournaments across North America, including destination tournaments in Southwest Florida, Las Vegas, Canada, and The Bahamas.

Additionally, bdG manages two professional golf tournaments on the Korn Ferry Tour in the Caribbean and has an extensive background with both the LPGA and PGA TOUR. The firm boasts relationships with brands such as Nike, ESPN, Gatorade, and MGM Resorts International. As a result of COVID-19, these staple events and many other bdG events have been disrupted, with no plans for commencement without a solution for fans, athletes, and staff’s safety.

The partnership’s purpose is for Loop’s contactless tracing & ticketing solution to provide bdG sporting events with an opportunity to commence and provide economic recovery for clients. This first and significant announcement to implement Loop into bdG’s #VegasBubble in just 45 days into the partnership is a powerful testimony to the need for Loop’s contactless solution capabilities.

Brooks Downing states, many, within our extensive network of business, are desperately searching for innovative solutions that will allow them the opportunity to support a safe environment for fans, staff, and athletes, but also optimize their revenue streams that warrant the restart of operations. Loop effectively solves both of these problems with its leading venue tracing solution, which will provide the confidence needed as teams decide to restart their schedules. And while this tool will allow fans to return to events, Loop’s contactless, artificial intelligence marketing solutions will provide personalized promotions and targeted engagement, leading to higher conversions and transaction revenue at all events. This level of personalized omnichannel marketing is incredibly valuable for our clients’ resumption plans.”

BDG PROVIDES DIRECT ACCESS TO ITS LIVE GLOBAL SPORTING EVENTS AND ITS LARGE NETWORK OF CLIENTS WITHIN NBA, NHL, NCAA, AND PROFESSIONAL GOLF

In addition to implementing Loop’s contact tracing product into its current and future events, bdG Sports also plays host to major global sports events and will be implementing Loop’s solutions. Additionally, bdG will represent Loop as a reseller to its current and future clients and enables direct access to the bdG Sports’ client base, which the Company anticipates will accelerate its growth opportunities in the sports industry.

“This is a major opportunity for Loop as live event operators are looking for two things that we can immediately solve: first, they are desperately looking to safely re-open facilities in efforts to save their respective seasons, and secondly, they are looking for new line revenue opportunities to offset the losses from reduced fan capacity in stadium,” Anson said.

Loop Insights $MTRX.ca Enters Into Agreement for Intellectual Property Acquisition of Global Location Data Intelligence Company Locally.io $RACMF $QUIS.ca $MCLD.ca $NXO.ca

Posted by AGORACOM-JC at 7:14 AM on Wednesday, October 7th, 2020
https://miro.medium.com/max/3150/1*f9msDHyceA_TbRM30jQhsw.png
  • Entered into an agreement to acquire the intellectual property assets of Digital2Go Media Networks, Inc., d/b/a Locally.io, a global leader in location data intelligence and real-time consumer engagement
  • With over 50 billion location signals collected so far, Locally has helped well-known brands and companies such as Ford, BMW, Wyndham Resorts, Calvin Klein, Kroger, Chipotle, Napa Auto Parts, 7-11 access deep consumer behavioral insights across all their verticals. 
  • The Locally solutions help businesses connect their physical and digital worlds by providing mobile location insights and marketing integration capabilities

VANCOUVER, British Columbia, Oct. 07, 2020 — Loop Insights Inc. (MTRX:TSX.V RACMF:OTCQB) (the “Company” or “Loop”) a provider of contactless solutions and artificial intelligence (“AI”) to drive automated marketing, venue tracing, and contactless solutions to the brick and mortar space, announces that it has entered into an agreement to acquire the intellectual property (“IP”) assets (the “Agreement”) of Digital2Go Media Networks, Inc., d/b/a Locally.io (the “Vendor” or “Locally”), a global leader in location data intelligence and real-time consumer engagement.

Locally had established itself as a premier provider of location and human movement intelligence data. The Locally solutions help businesses connect their physical and digital worlds by providing mobile location insights and marketing integration capabilities. With over 50 billion location signals collected so far, Locally has helped well-known brands and companies such as Ford, BMW, Wyndham Resorts, Calvin Klein, Kroger, Chipotle, Napa Auto Parts, 7-11 access deep consumer behavioral insights across all their verticals. 

THE LOCALLY IP ACQUISITION TO POSITION LOOP AS A LEADER IN ONLINE AND ON-PREMISE REAL-TIME DATA MONETIZATION 

By combining the Loop and Locally technology stacks, existing and future Loop customers will benefit from enhanced location and mobile data insights, additional targeted marketing capabilities, and new revenue streams via data monetization with brands, marketers, large enterprises, financial institutions, and more. Additionally, the worldwide COVID19 pandemic has driven incredible demand for such location intelligence capabilities to inform contact tracing, safety and security protocols, and reopening of business across all verticals. 

LOOP TO REMAIN ON THE OFFENCE AS A RESULT OF STRONG CASH POSITION

As a result of COVID19, many tech companies have struggled to raise capital. Loop has greatly benefited from two successful completions of private placements and has further bolstered its cash position through the most recent exercise of warrants. Loop is extremely well positioned and is currently exploring multiple other merger and acquisition opportunities to expand new revenue channels. 

Rob Anson, Loop’s President & CEO, comments: “The Locally IP acquisition is a significant strategic move as the company continues to build our Loop Data Exchange. The acquisition significantly reduces the company’s timing and cost of development. The Loop Data Exchange will enable the company to benefit from substantial revenues by monetizing Loop’s current bricks and mortar retail data to 3rd party e-commerce companies such as Amazon, Google, and Facebook.

The combination of retail transaction insights plus location data has a real measurable value that will offer new and increased revenue streams for Loop when productized. We are excited to complete this transaction, and we believe Loop shareholders will benefit from a new and very compelling asset that we expect will contribute significant value to the company.”

As part of the transaction, Locally founder and former CEO, Michael Canevaro, will join Loop as the SVP of Business Development and Partnerships. Mike’s impressive background will help further establish Loop as one of the leading disruptive AI Companies in the broader US marketplace. 

TERMS OF THE DEAL

In consideration for the purchase and sale of the Purchased Assets, Loop will pay to, or to the direction of, the Vendor $199,500 payable by the issuance of 554,166 common shares in the capital of Loop (“Payment Shares”) at a deemed price of $0.36 per Payment Share upon the date of closing of the Acquisition (“Closing Date”), subject to the Escrow Conditions (as defined below).

100% of the Payment Shares (being 554,166 Payment Shares) shall be released from escrow on the date that is six (6) months and one (1) day following the Closing Date. Terms of the agreement will be subject to approval by both Locally and Loop Insight’s board of directors as well as regulatory and TSXV approval.

  • Announced short form agreement to grant Austin, TX based startup CasaPerks LLC a non-exclusive license to use various aspects of Loop’s technology in return for $1,930,000 in cash and shares
  • CasaPerks is a property technology, or “proptech”, startup from Austin, Texas
  • As part of this multi-pronged approach, CasaPerks will provide both reward (i.e points) and fintech layers (i.e. car payments) that will require the artificial intelligence capabilities of Loop to optimize and maximize a target market that includes 79.5 million renters in 14.1 million units

VANCOUVER, BC , Sept. 28, 2020 – Loop Insights Inc. (TSXV: MTRX) (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 short form agreement to grant Austin, TX based startup CasaPerks LLC (“CasaPerks”) a non-exclusive license to use various aspects of Loop’s technology in return for $1,930,000 in cash and shares.

CASAPERKS SOLUTION FOR THE PROPTECH MARKET COMBINED WITH LOOP ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE CREATES POWERFUL, DISRUPTIVE OFFERING

CasaPerks is a property technology, or “proptech”, startup from Austin, Texas . Proptech is a very fast-growing space and CasaPerks is on its cutting edge, creating a multi-pronged solution specifically for the commercial real estate industry. For the property operator, CasaPerks will help drive revenues and significantly reduce costs, while for the resident it will greatly enhance the overall living experience.

As part of this multi-pronged approach, CasaPerks will provide both reward (i.e points) and fintech layers (i.e. car payments) that will require the artificial intelligence capabilities of Loop to optimize and maximize a target market that includes 79.5 million renters in 14.1 million units. Loop Technologies included in the license are as follows:

  • AI Data Insights Portal;
  • Smartapp Check-in technology;
  • Digital Wallet Pass Technology

Loop Insights CEO Rob Anson stated, “I am very excited about the path and direction of CasaPerks, which is led by Kevin Bradt , whose track record of success speaks for itself. CasaPerks’ major disruptive strategy, which now creates a return on rental investment, is a major paradigm shift in the entire sector’s core value proposition. Combined with our AI & Big Data Solutions, CasaPerks’ loyalty rewards and Fintech will result in a very powerful product offering. COVID-19 has accelerated the necessity for mobile commerce in every vertical, and CasaPerks is now set to quickly become the new standard for the industry.”

DISRUPTIVE OFFERING PROVIDES MASSIVE POTENTIAL UPSIDE AS “PROPTECH” GROWS UNDER COVID-19

The last couple of years have seen the emergence of proptech, which is applying information technology and platform economics to streamline and modernize the cumbersome process of browsing, building, and transacting in real estate.

In 2019 alone, upwards of $16 billion USD in venture capital flowed into proptech startups (according to data from Crunchbase and Pitchbook), clearly demonstrating that VC’s “are turning to proptech for returns and disruption on a global scale”.

The advent of COVD-19 has only further accelerated the need for proptech applications from Hedge Funds, Pension Funds and owners who have seen significant disruption in their investments and look to new revenue models and opportunities.

LICENSING AGREEMENT CREATES “A.I. PROPTECH” FOR GLOBAL SCALE

The CasaPerks platform infused with Loop Insights technology represents the dawn of Artificially Intelligent property technology that delivers an entirely new experience to users while providing investors and owners with multiple areas to create value.

Moreover, the offering will provide major brands with unparalleled data and direct access to the CasaPerks user base, including renowned brands in grocery, finance, fast food, internet, and entertainment.

The combination of CasaPerks and Loop is expected to create lucrative revenue models based on known user profiles thanks to robust granular insights based on real-time engagement, spend and future needs, leading to significant impacts on:

  • ARPU Average Revenue Per User
  • ARPL Average Revenue Per Location

Kevin Bradt , CEO of CasaPerks, stated, “Our strategy at CasaPerks is to build a robust platform with best-in-class partnerships throughout our entire ecosystem. Loop’s technology is very impressive and provides us with significant additional layers to our core technology that will prove to be extremely valuable. Our vision is to expand CasaPerks from a regional offering to a national footprint and then eventually achieving global scale.”

TERMS OF THE AGREEMENT

The following are the material terms of the agreement between Loop and Casa Perks:

Loop will license the following Loop technology:

  • AI Data Insights Portal;
  • Smartapp Check-in technology;
  • Digital Wallet Pass Technology

In exchange for the license, Loop will receive a total value of $1,930,000 USD in a combination of both:

  • Cash $250,000
  • Stock $1,680,000 (6,720,000 shares X $0.25 /share)

Both parties have agreed to a 60-day closing period for a definitive agreement, the terms of which are subject to Loop Board of Directors Approval.

VANCOUVER, BC, Sept. 21, 2020 – Loop Insights Inc. (TSXV: MTRX) (the “Company” or “Loop”), a provider of contactless solutions and artificial intelligence (“AI”) to drive real-time insights, automated marketing, and contact tracing to the brick and mortar space, is pleased to provide shareholders with the following corporate update reviewing recent significant business wins and near term expectations.  The company has been successful in reaching many milestones across both product lines, Contact Tracing, and Contactless Marketing, with world-renowned brands, which have led to accelerating opportunities and contract negotiations with potential customers of similar stature.

BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT OPPORTUNITIES EXPANDING WITH EACH SUCCESSIVE WIN

Loop CEO Rob Anson stated “We have long known that our artificial intelligence driven technology stack could have a major impact on the real-world operations of enterprise-level customers, so it has been an incredible experience for Loop and its shareholders to begin seeing the third-party validation as we secure deals with great partners such as Telus, University of Houston and others. My message to shareholders is this is only the beginning, with Loop receiving significant inquiries, conducting online demonstrations and entering contract discussions on a daily basis.  Moreover,  we remain laser focused on maximizing our potential through  Tier-1 channel resellers to help us grow even faster. As such, I can say with great confidence that Loop is extremely well-positioned to anticipate a very strong and successful run for the remainder of 2020.

TELUS PARTNERSHIP IS INDICATIVE OF A GLOBAL DISTRIBUTION STRATEGY WITH NATIONAL TELECOM PROVIDERS

On September 17th,  Loop announced an exciting successful launch with Telus, Canada’s leading telecom company. This pilot program of our real-time, artificial intelligence-driven marketing platform launched in August and, upon successful completion, sees expansion into Telus 550+ corporate locations, as well as, their 2,000+ B2B reseller channel. This partnership is part of Loop’s global distribution strategy, in which the Company is already engaged in discussions with several similar telecom providers in the US, Australia, and other regions.

CONTACT TRACING ACCELERATES WITH INQUIRIES FROM GOVERNMENTS FOLLOWING PARTNERSHIP WITH NCAA DIV 1 UNIVERSITY OF HOUSTON

Contact Tracing continues to be a huge focus and gaining traction throughout North America in several verticals. The company has expanded its contactless services and continues to engage in many large-scale opportunities throughout North America. Areas of interest have come from, but not limited to, Provincial and Federal Government talks. Now that schools and sports teams are starting back up, contact tracing needs have never been as important. Securing University of Houston was a huge milestone and has now sparked interest throughout many other sports teams and schools across the US looking to restart and have a safe return of fans to their sporting facilities. Final negotiations are underway and the Company hopes to announce the next roll out in the near future.

LOOP RECEIVES  $412,000 FROM FEDERAL GOVERNMENT SR&D RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM

The company is pleased to announce that it has been awarded $412,000 from its 2019 Scientific Research & Experimental Development (“SR&ED”) application. In order to qualify for this program, Loop had to demonstrate it “generated information that advances the understanding of scientific relations or technologies or advances a certain technology or overcomes a technological uncertainty.”

This additional injection of funds further strengthens the company’s strong cash position, which positions the Company well for future M&A opportunities.

LOOP OTCQB APPLICATION IN FINAL STAGES IN RESPONSE TO US INVESTOR DEMAN

Over the past months, the Company has received increasing inquiries from US-based investors who could not easily acquire shares in Loop.  As a result, the company submitted applications to the necessary regulatory bodies and is hopeful for final approval as early as this week, making Loop shares available for trading on the OTCQB  with full DTC eligibility.

LOOP PARTNERSHIP WITH LEADING POS VENDOR (VEND) YIELDS IMMEDIATE RESULTS WITH NEW CUSTOMERS

Another major milestone was the partnership with Vend, a global point of sale supplier with over 25,000 locations in over 142 companies. Upon successful completion of the integration with Vend, Loop has already signed several Vend retailers including Your CBD Store, the largest CBD brick and mortar retailer in the United States with over 650 locations.

The Company is now in discussions on a distribution strategy with Vend’s leadership team to become a global reseller of the Loop products which will help accelerate Loop’s potential adoption throughout Vends global network of retailers.

As next steps in leveraging the success with Vend, the Company has also begun an integration roll out with one of the largest e-commerce platforms. Point of sale partners continues to be a large focus as they are the Company’s quickest path to scale while allowing the Company to remain lean and agile.

LOOP SOLUTION TO PROVIDE HOUSTON ATHLETICS WITH ABILITY TO ACHIEVE CASHLESS AND CONTACTLESS GOALS

Loop’s solution is appealing because it also provides fully automated and personalized fan experiences with large-scale user adoption and enhanced fan engagement opportunities.

IoT and Big Data: 6 Retail and Financial Services Trends to Watch Out For

  • IoT Will Revolutionize Point of Sale (POS) Payments
  • The POS industry is projected to be worth an estimated $109 billion by 2025, and IoT technology will play no small role in making this happen: while the best POS systems available today have a number of impressive features, POS technology will only evolve.
  • The rise of smart POS systems will result in the widespread adoption of biometric POS, the rise of mobile POS payments, digital product tracking that eliminates queues and makes remote payments easy, and much more

More importantly, IoT and big data enable the effective storage, processing, and transmission of data in a way that is more secure while providing advanced analytics that thoroughly monitors and notifies you of potential data breaches. This will make POS systems more secure and reliable further enhancing the retail industry.Bamidele Onibalusi – September 3, 2020

While the impact of the IoT industry in the past few years has been nothing short of impressive, the disruption this technology will bring to the financial services market will be just as impactful.

According to a research study by Markets and Markets, the global banking and financial services IoT market is expected to grow from $249.5 million to $2.03 billion by 2023. That’s an eight-fold growth in just five years or a CAGR of approximately 52 percent. IoT technology in the retail industry is also expected to grow to $35 billion by the end of this year.While the impact of the IoT industry in the past few years has been nothing short of impressive, the disruption this technology will bring to the financial services market will be just as impressive. Click To Tweet

Below are six key trends that will drive the growth of IoT and big data in finance and retail.

1. IoT Will Make Risk Assessment Seamless and Easy

One area where IoT technology will be disruptive in the near future is that of risk assessment. Think about how risk assessment currently works in the financial services sector. It’s a very subjective process similar to the one that triggered the 2008 Great Recession. Now imagine a future that allows for smart risk assessment by using big data and IoT technologies.

First, IoT and big data will make it easy to acquire vast amounts of data that are used to determine a customers’ risk status. This data can then be smartly analyzed in a way that the risk profile of any company or individual becomes convenient and easy. The data can also be used to forecast future risks for individuals and organizations.

2. IoT Will Enhance and Automate Security in Financial Institutions

IoT technology will contribute to a more secure future, particularly in the retail and financial services industry. 

Connected smart cameras and motion sensors are just two of the smart technologies financial institutions and retailers can deploy for better security. These technologies will not only automatically react to intrusions by thieves and unauthorized third parties (by shutting down certain systems, locking down the premises so that the intruder is unable to leave, and immediately notifying you and providing an abundance of information that you can act upon), but it will also act to protect against environmental hazards that can pose security threats or result in damage.

3. IoT Will Revolutionize Point of Sale (POS) Payments

The POS industry is projected to be worth an estimated $109 billion by 2025, and IoT technology will play no small role in making this happen: while the best POS systems available today have a number of impressive features, POS technology will only evolve. The rise of smart POS systems will result in the widespread adoption of biometric POS, the rise of mobile POS payments, digital product tracking that eliminates queues and makes remote payments easy, and much more.

More importantly, IoT and big data enable the effective storage, processing, and transmission of data in a way that is more secure while providing advanced analytics that thoroughly monitors and notifies you of potential data breaches. This will make POS systems more secure and reliable further enhancing the retail industry.

4. More Efficient Inventory Management

Retailers very well know the cost of an inefficient inventory management system. Data shows that U.S. retailers lose an estimated $45 billion annually due to not having the required inventory in stock and a whopping $224 billion due to having excess inventory. 

IoT and big data will be able to fix inventory woes. Automated IoT inventory management systems that make real-time tracking of inventory easy at the point of sale will be in every retail store sooner rather than later. The inventory system automatically generates data to show currently in-stock items and effectively analyzes this data to predict future inventory requirements.

5. Smart Asset Movement and Monitoring

Asset monitoring is currently partially automated due to the use of computers and technology, but still involves a lot of manual process and checks. IoT and big data will change this.

First, IoT will automate the process of gathering data and real-time information that can be automatically analyzed to understand the current state of things and predict the future. IoT also makes effective use of sensors attached to assets to track them (paying attention to variables that include temperature, humidity, proximity, and movement) and then automatically generate useful data about these assets. This allows for enhanced real-time monitoring of the health and movement of assets.

6. Increasing Use of Wearable Tech for Financial Transactions

Smartwatches and wearable technology that automatically monitor human health and activity are increasingly prevalent. These devices provide essential information about the health of the wearer at all times. Now, think about something similar for payments: you walk into the bank and the bank’s IoT system connects to your wearable device which sends essential information about your activity to the bank. Not only does this eliminate a lot of time-wasting manual processes and improve customer satisfaction, but it also makes it easier to perform contactless transactions while at the same time ensuring optimal security.

The financial industry is already reaping the benefits of IoT and big data. As more businesses see the advantages of IoT, the adoption rate to improve outdated business practices will rapidly increase.
