ServTech Global Holdings Ltd ( ServTech or the Company ), a full-service Virtual & Augmented Reality (VR & AR) software development company delivering solutions for renowned national and international organisations, is pleased to announce that its wholly owned subsidiary Vection Italy S.r.l. ( Vection ) has entered into an agreement with European Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) systems integrator, Four Bytes Group ( Four Bytes ), for the distribution of its VR Software as a Service (SaaS) platform, FrameS .
Based on Vection’s VR technology, FrameS is considered to be the ultimate VR software visualisation, collaboration and prototyping tool, allowing users dislocated world-wide to interact real-time in a multiuser virtual environment on a shared project.
This distribution agreement represents the Company’s first effort to widely market the FrameS platform to SMEs and Enterprise clients across Europe. Historically, Vection has built a Tier 1 client base predominantly in the luxury, manufacturing and automotive space. With the newly formed Four Bytes partnership, Vection will look to leverage its unrivalled market knowledge to offer FrameS widely to other manufacturers, large enterprise and small to medium companies.
The Company will now aim to increase the footprint of its sales and marketing network with further strategic agreements to substantially increase the international exposure of FrameS offering, as VR and AR technologies are now becoming more widely integrated across businesses and enterprises.
Raffaele De Silvio, President & Managing Director of Four Bytes, commented:
“We are extremely pleased to have finalised the distribution agreement with Vection. We expect a positive take up of the FrameS product across our enterprise and SME clients, which is our primary focus, as they look to heavily adopt Virtual Reality solutions in the coming years. The collaboration with Vection facilitates the market positioning of Four Bytes as a comprehensive management software provider and facilitates new business dynamics adopted by European clients, through the delivery of value-added VR software.”
Gianmarco Biagi, Managing Director of ServTech, commented:
“The Four Bytes agreement is the first initiative in the Company’s overarching SME client acquisition strategy. Leveraging Four Bytes’ extensive market-reach, FrameS can be promoted with no upfront capital expenditure to some 2,700 potential clients, operating in a multitude of industrial sectors.
The Company is working to further expand the existing footprint of FrameS. Our aspiration is to make FrameS a leading and widely used SaaS platform.”
Distribution Agreement
Vection’s distribution agreement with Four Bytes unlocks an extensive list of Enterprise and SME clients (~2,700) operating in multiple jurisdictions and industry verticals, to drive the promotion and sales of FrameS and of its bespoke VR & AR software applications.
Leveraging on Four Bytes’ existing footprint, Vection will significantly accelerate its in-market presence with no upfront capital cost expenditure. Vection and Four Bytes will proceed with a targeted approach to specific industrial subsets to showcase applicable industry features, generating maximum exposure for FrameS.
