Revenues stood 70%lower than over the same period in 2019, before the pandemic hit,where theystood at CHF0.5Mwith a strong roll-out pipeline. The impact of the COVID19 pandemic on beaconsmind's clients was profound,with store closures across all of their markets leading to paused projects and postponing of roll-outs of the beaconsmind solution.

Nonetheless, the companyraised its largest funding round in December 2020 with investors backing the companyon its wayto becoming a sector leader. In parallel, beaconsmind invested in its global visibilitybycompleting some critical work required for its Februarylisting on Euronext in Paris. The companyalso used the downtime to develop further its software features, in-house sales and marketing.
