The integration of the CHOOSE Digital and the RooLife companies has extended OpenDNA’s business reach and revenue generation capability leading to a number of contract wins during the Quarter including:

  • NNM Services for market entry and sale of skincare, Vitamins, Minerals, Supplements (VMS) and Health & Wellbeing products into China;

  • Better Nature for market entry into China, provision of digital marketing services and sales and distribution of products;

  • Meluka Honey for China market entry, digital marketing and sale of products in China on OpenDNA’s RooLife platform;

  • Agreement with Sightseeing Pass Australia to market and sell Australian Tourism packages directly to Chinese tourists via its RooLife platform and websites.

The Company is experiencing strong demand for its digital marketing and e-Commerce services and capability which now incorporates the Company’s AI platform with the ability to personalise the shopping experience for users based on their ongoing interaction and behaviour.

The RooLife e-Commerce platform delivers all requirements to market, sell and deliver product directly to consumers in China, facilitating collection of payment using the most widely used payment methods in China, Alipay and WeChat Pay, allowing settlement to the merchant in their preferred currency.

OpenDNA’s digital marketing and customer acquisition capability, with its AI hyper-personalisation engine, provides for a targeted, personalised shopping experience and is able to deliver valuable insights into purchasing behaviour and market intelligence to brands selling into China.

The agreements secured during the Quarter expand on OpenDNA’s announced strategy to market and sell high-quality and authentic Australian products and services to the large and rapidly growing consumer market for these products in China.

The Company has elected to launch its RooLife services with Vitamins, Minerals & Supplements, skincare and health products based on the high demand for these product ranges, with the annual revenue for this market segment estimated at US$30 billion in 2017 and with projected annual compound growth of 10% through to 2025[1] .

In late February Better Nature, a provider of high-quality and authentic, 100% naturally sourced Australian product was added to the portfolio of products to be marketed and sold online in Australia and China, extending OpenDNA’s reach and range in the Health and Wellbeing market.

In early March, EVE Investments’ Meluka Honey appointed OpenDNA to lead its market entry into China and to drive online sales for its products, further extending the range of natural products to be sold on the Company’s RooLife platform.

Also in March, OpenDNA entered into an agreement with Sightseeing Pass Australia for OpenDNA’s RooLife e-Commerce platform and hyper-personalisation AI engine to market and profile prospective travellers and suggest appropriate travel plans to Chinese visitors seeking holiday packages in Australia.

OpenDNA will receive commissions on all products sold through its RooLife platform and will generate valuable insights into Chinese tourist travel plans which is expected to allow the Company to additionally market and sell relevant high-quality Australian products online via its RooLife e- Commerce platform.

This agreement with Sightseeing Pass Australia opens up access for OpenDNA to Australia’s largest inbound tourism sector of 1.43 million Chinese tourists currently spending $10 billion per annum.[2]

The Company intends to continue to grow the portfolio of products to be marketed and sold online consequently building group revenue.

Financial Position

As at 31 March 2019 the Company held $974k in cash and cash equivalents which was supplemented in April by an additional $2,000,000 with the company accepting subscriptions in an oversubscribed capital raising.

Business Outlook

In the coming Quarter, OpenDNA will integrate Blackglass, a digital marketing business acquired in April 2019, into its group operations expanding the range of services provided to an extended customer base.

Additional revenue streams and customers will come on line in the June Quarter which will add to the revenue growth already being achieved by the company and expected to continue in the coming Quarters.

One-off acquisition costs of $300,000 will be incurred in the next Quarter, with this to be funded from existing cash holdings and operating cashflow from the Blackglass business.
