Loop Insights Enters UK Market With Pilot Agreement For Leading UK Pharmacy Solutions Provider, Servicing 12,000 Pharmacies Across United Kingdom
VANCOUVER, British Columbia, Jan. 14, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Loop Insights Inc. (MTRX:TSXV)(RACMF:OTCQB) (the “Company” or “Loop”), a provider of contactless solutions and artificial intelligence (“AI”) to drive real-time insights, enhanced customer engagement, and automated contact tracing to the brick and mortar space, is pleased to announce the signing of a Pilot Agreement with PharmAssist Solutions (“Pharmassist”) to implement Loop’s analytics platform into multiple independent pharmacy affiliated locations.
OPPORTUNITY FOR FULL IMPLEMENTATION ACROSS 12,000 LOCATIONS
Pharmassist is an independent pharmacy solutions provider that serves 15% of the UK market with 12,000 independent pharmacies. Upon successful completion of the Pilot, it is the intention of both parties to implement Loop’s artificial intelligence-driven analytics platform across all 12,000 pharmacies in the United Kingdom.
Pharmassist Managing Director Amar Randhawa stated, “Loop Insights data analytics solution is a game-changer for independent pharmacies here in the UK. PharmAssist Solutions has been integral to the success of the independent chain, and adding Loop’s ability to understand transaction details, shopping behaviors and habits, trends, and other powerful pieces of information once thought lost, will provide a massive benefit to each individual pharmacy. Understanding what products have been sold and prescribed gives these independents the ability to offer personal, relevant, and adjacent over the counter products to consumers, increasing sales, and delivering a more personal experience in-store. We are excited to be the first solutions provider in the UK market to offer this, and expect great uptake of the solution to our growing customer base.”
INSIGHTS REVENUE MODEL PROVIDES POTENTIAL FOR $USD 28.8 MILLION IN ANNUAL REVENUES UPON SUCCESSFUL COMPLETION OF PILOT
On November 4, 2020, Loop announced it successfully completed a similar Pilot at 20 stores and was rolling out to all 550 retail locations of Your CBD Store. In that press release, the Company provided details with respect to its “Insights” pricing model including $USD 50 per month per till, with an average of 4 tills per retail location, which would equate to potential monthly recurring revenue of $USD 2,400,000 or $USD 28,800,000.
In addition, when the Company’s automated marketing “Engage” service and wallet pass loyalty applications are layered in, these numbers quickly multiply by 5-10x and provide the company with an even more significant potential revenue stream.
Loop Insights CEO Rob Anson stated, “Signing this Pilot with Pharmassist in the very early days of 2021 serves as a strong indication of Loop’s anticipated penetration into the UK and European markets. Coupled with our recently announced LOI to acquire Passcreator and take control of our technology in anticipation of major business developments in 2021, I can unequivocally say that Loop is heading into a major growth phase as promised in our letter to shareholders at the end of 2020.”
PILOT AGREEMENT STEMS FROM PARTNERSHIP WITH UK LEADER SG-RETAIL
On October 13, 2020, Loop announced the signing of a referral agreement with leading UK-based SG-retail to expand Loop’s services and products into the UK and Europe. SG-retail, led by retail industry veteran Steve Gray, is assisting Loop with its efforts to establish a strong presence in Europe.
Steve Gray is a CPG (Consumer Packaged Goods) expert and globally recognized leading innovator in customer loyalty, CRM data analytics, and personalization in the retail sector. SG-retail has worked with many of the world’s leading retailers and consumer brands to support their customer engagement initiatives by partnering with leading-edge technology partners like Loop Insights.
SG-retail is introducing and reselling Loop’s services to clients that include many of the world’s leading brands such as P&G, PepsiCo, British Airways/Avios, Sky, Virgin Megastores, Tesco, Kroger, and British Gas to name just a few.
Today’s announcement represents the first deal through SG-retail and demonstrates the efficacy of the Company’s artificial intelligence-driven marketing solution to the brick and mortar space.
Steve Gray, Managing Director of SG-retail, states, “Rob and his team have built the type of innovative solution that our retail and brand clients across Europe have been desperately searching for. Given the level of discussions we have been having with clients who see and understand the power of Loop, I am confident that today’s Pilot with Pharmassist will be the first of many successes across the UK and Europe, where Loop is well-positioned to gain a substantial market share in 2021.”
Loop Insights CEO, Rob Anson added, “Our SG-retail partnership is already yielding great value for Loop by rapidly accelerating our entry into large verticals such as pharmacy retail. This is the true power of partnerships with the likes of SG-retail, Vend, TELUS, and NTT DATA, all of whom are introducing Loop to opportunities that simply wouldn’t be possible if we tried to go it alone with a direct sales force. Combined with our ability to rapidly implement our solutions at just about any scale imaginable, we expect to achieve great success early and often in 2021.”
This deployment with Pharmassist will allow Loop to demonstrate the power of its Fobi device and the Company’s comprehensive retail insight and analytics. As the Company has shown through previous retail deployments with Telus and Your CBD Store, Loop’s Fobi device provides valuable real-time data applications that enable retailers to improve on operational efficiencies with automated supply chain and inventory management tools. Loop enables retailers to action and monetize their data.

LG STRENGTHENS EUROPEAN PRESENCE WITH ITS KITCHEN SOLUTIONS SHOWCASE AT MDW 2024
Featuring Advanced AI Technologies and Sleek Design, Company’s Expanded Lineup of Built-in Appliances Brings Outstanding Convenience and Style to the Kitchen
SEOUL, South Korea, April 18, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — LG Electronics (LG) is unveiling its latest built-in kitchen appliances at Milan Design Week (MDW) 2024, taking place in Milan, Italy, from April 16-21. At the center of LG’s Milan showcase are the brand-new Signature Kitchen Suite built-in oven, free zone induction hob, and downdraft hood. Boasting innovative, premium design and highly-convenient features, the company’s refined built-in solutions bring exceptional ease-of-use and effortless elegance to the kitchen.
Signature Kitchen Suite Built-in Oven with Advanced Cooking Technologies
Debuting at MDW 2024 and designed with European consumers in mind, the Signature Kitchen Suite 60-centimeter (24-inch) built-in oven offers a variety of cutting-edge features and AI technologies to elevate the culinary experience. Equipped with Gourmet AI™️, the oven can identify what the user is cooking and automatically select the appropriate cooking mode from 130 recipes. Gourmet AI also enables ‘browning’ control for foods such as pizza and steak, actively keeping tabs on the cooking process and notifying users via the ThinQ™️ app as soon as their food is done. Thanks to video-recognition, LG’s intelligent oven can suggest the optimal settings for the dish being prepared, while real-time video monitoring and time-lapse recording make it easy to check on the progress of one’s meal using the ThinQ app.
Employing enhanced ProBake powered by inverter technology, the new oven delivers uniform heat and fast, efficient cooking with an A++ energy rating. LG’s innovative technology rotates the convection fan back and forth to ensure shorter preheating times, even heating, and crispier results when using the oven’s Air Fry mode. The company’s unique InstaView™️ technology further enhances user convenience, making it possible to see inside simply by knocking twice on the oven door.
Free Zone Induction Hob for Convenient and Flexible Cooking
The Signature Kitchen Suite’s 90-centimeter (36-inch) free zone induction hob presents next-level flexibility and ease-of-use, allowing users to place any size and type of cookware – such as Paella pans and moka pots – anywhere on its cooking surface.* The new appliance can detect and track the position of cookware, eliminating the need to manually cancel and reapply settings when moving a saucepan or skillet from one part of the cooking surface to another. What’s more, the AI technology embedded in the hob can detect the temperature of cookware and automatically lower the heat when necessary, helping to minimize spills and splatter when boiling water or preparing soups and sauces.
Expanded Built-in Lineups for Diverse Kitchen Lifestyles
LG is further bolstering its built-in product lineup with the introduction of the new Signature Kitchen Suite downdraft hood. Made to integrate seamlessly into islands and countertops, the 90-centimeter (36-inch) hood offers a sleek, sophisticated look with its chic black glass and modern frame design. It also provides powerful ventilation, effectively extracting steam and odors for a more pleasant cooking experience.
Additionally, LG has expanded its portfolio of built-in appliances for the European market. Along with new products, such as an 80-centimeter (30-inch) induction hob and built-in combi refrigerators and microwave ovens, the company now provides a wider range of options within its oven lineups – from more product variation to a greater choice of colors and sizes. Among the new models are the Signature Kitchen Suite 122 centimeter (48 inch)-wide French-door refrigerator and stunning appliances from the Transitional lineup, featuring slim handles and satin stainless steel exteriors with a velvety matte finish. To help customers create a curated kitchen aesthetic, the company offers an array of new finishes for its premium built-in products, with black stainless steel and stainless steel joining the previously-introduced black glass finish.
“We are thrilled to showcase our latest built-in innovations at this year’s Milan Design Week, demonstrating our commitment to leading new design trends and meeting the diverse needs of European customers,” said Lyu Jae-cheol, president of LG Electronics Home Appliance & Air Solution Company. “LG will continue to strengthen its presence in Europe through an expanded range of built-in appliances delivering style, performance and convenience in the kitchen.”
Visitors to MDW 2024 in Milan from April 16-21 can experience LG’s latest built-in lineups at the LG booth at Milan Fairgrounds.
