This round of funding will allow us to continue providing our manufacturing and retail customers with services that will ultimately allow them to make better decisions, thus helping improve sales and increase market share.”

He added, “It will also support our growth in geographic markets such as the US and Europe and our desire to form partnerships with companies that complement our technologies. This will ensure both new and existing customers can access the best and most accurate technology in the industry at cost-effective prices.”

In the past 6 months the company has brought 170 new gobal companies on board including Coca Cola, AB, InBev, Nestle, Heinkel, Pepsico and more
