For the quarter ended 30 September 2015, new travel agencies continued to sign up with Flexiroam to distribute products and services to their travellers, taking the total collaboration to 60 travel agencies.

Increased spending on sales, marketing and promotion, have resulted in increases in sales generated and the strong cashflow has resulted in cash reserves remaining solid.
Knowlarity Collaboration Strengthens Offering
In terms of infrastructure, Flexiroam continued to expand its offering globally via a collaboration with Knowlarity, a leading provider of cloud communications in emerging markets. The agreement with Knowlarity has provided Flexiroam with network access to key regions in India, including Delhi, Mumbai and Bangalore, leveraging Knowlarity’s cloud-based infrastructure and virtual numbers under the terms of the agreement.
The agreement adds considerable value for customers and stakeholders, as it not only enables efficient access for Flexiroam to enter the Indian market but will also greatly increase the value proposition of Roam8 – Flexiroam’s new App.
Awarded Government Funding to Develop Mobile Technology
During the quarter ended 30 September 2015, Flexiroam received a letter of award for grant amounting to RM300,000.00 (~A$100,000) from the Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission under the Creative Industry Development Fund. The grant will be used to subsidise the R&D and precommercialisation marketing activities cost for Flexiroam Travel App and will enable local embassies and merchants to broadcast announcements upon a traveller’s arrival to certain countries.
“We are very pleased to be delivering in line with our strategy to expand in Asia-Pacific with a low cost international roaming service and we look forward to considerable opportunities to grow the company as we introduce new products” said Flexiroam’s CEO, Jef Ong.
