Trader orders 10,000 devices and Beacon installs devices into one third of its flagship stores GSM-I has three main distribution partners, including GSM Electrical (“ Trader ”), a wholly owned subsidiary of Gerard Private Holdings (Finance) Pty Ltd, Beacon Lighting Group, and Steel-line Garage Doors.
As announced on 27 November 2020, further to the Company entering the Binding Terms Sheet for the acquisition of 100% of the share capital of GSM-I, GSM-I received an order from Trader for 10,000 devices which are due to be delivered in the first quarter of calendar year 2021. Once delivered, the 10,000 devices will be recognised as revenue for Quantify Technology.
Beacon is installing devices with marketing material into one third of its flagship stores. The devices are also being sold through its on-line store. Steel-line Garage Doors have begun commercialisation of the garage door controllers.
- $4 million capital raising and acquisition of GSM I completed
Following overwhelming Shareholder approval at the Company’s AGM, as announced on 11 December 2020 Quantify Technology entered into a Binding Terms Sheet for the acquisition of 100% of the share capital of GSM Innovations Pty Ltd (“ GSM-I ”), a wholly owned subsidiary of Gerard Private Holdings (Finance) Pty Ltd.
The Board has been strengthened with the appointments of Simon Gerard and Jordan Tentori, the latter of which has additionally been appointed as Chief Technology Officer. Simon is the CEO of Gerard Private which owns, GSM Electrical (Trader) and the GSM Retail Group. Jordan is the CoFounder of GSM-I, with a demonstrated history of working nationally and internationally with electrical and lighting industries to evolve technology into commercial reality.
The acquisition will also bring further synergy benefits to the Company, including:
-
Cross-sell a more complete family of connected products. GSM Electrical Pty Ltd trading under the brand, Trader, will be the exclusive distributer into the electrical wholesale market under an initial three-year agreement whereby it will distribute, promote, stock and sell the GSM-I products into the more than 900 electrical wholesalers across Australia.
-
There will be reduced costs from combining the two teams. As importantly, the GSM-I manufacturing and logistics’ relationships will result in improved supply chain performance.
-
• The Company and GSM-I will create a single, powerful software platform for all its connected products resulting in accelerated performance and greater opportunity to use the data.
-
Finally, GSM-I has a flexible business model that can both supply product directly and license its intellectual property via existing arrangements with GSM Electrical, Beacon Lighting and Steel-line. This flexibility will be even more attractive for partners, enabling the Company to expand into new markets and overseas.
