ACHIEVEMENTS
"During the quarter, we put a lot of effort into integrating all the photography service businesses acquired over the past few months. This integration process notably includes the development and the launch of an online ordering system including a route optimization tool, an internal photo editing service in France and a retribution system for our pay-per-job employees and freelancers (photographers, 3D modelers and photo editors), all this in order to increase our productivity, allow the Company to track performance in real time and increase profitability generated for every single order. We also continued to improve our monthly subscription package including UiMeet3D and the migration of our photography service businesses into our integrated business solution for real estate photographers. We also continued to add some artificial intelligence into the production of our 3D tours and floor plans.
All these significant improvements now allow Urbanimmersive Group to offer a very unique business solution for real estate photographers both in term of all its functionalities or its efficiency (productivity gains) and this, 100% managed in-house. The strong demand for our 3D tours and the success to date in the sale of our monthly subscription packages to real estate brokers further confirm our good strategic positioning and our unique competitive advantage. However, although we are still navigating in a seller's real estate market combined with a number of listings and transactions near historical lows throughout North America and which directly impacts Urbanimmersive's revenues, those recent significant progress give us full confidence on the promising future of the Group," said Ghislain Lemire, President and CEO of Urbanimmersive.
The Company has also issued 113,829 shares at a price of $0.235 to some Officers and employees as variable compensation covering the most recent quarter.
