The company reported revenue of $386,869 compared with $385,163 for the third quarter of 2017. The company reported an operating income of $28,520 and net income of $10,113.

The company believes that forming ZenaPay in Canada will assist in creating additional revenue streams.

The ZenaPay Plant Tracker app for the Canadian 420 market is available on the Google Play store for immediate download.
The ZenaPay Plant Tracker tracks plants from seed to harvest. The first version provides an easy way for growers to monitor the different varieties of plants they harvest for their businesses.
According to the Canadian Health Department, Canadian 420 businesses are required to maintain records on plant inventory:
The applicant must submit a detailed description of their proposed record-keeping methods. This must include a description of the process that will be used for recording transactions relating to licensed activities, including maintaining appropriate records of transactions and dealings with both suppliers and clients.
Epazz Inc.’s CEO, Shaun Passley, Ph.D., said, “ZenaPay provides the company many new opportunities to expand our business. We believe this will assist in displaying the company true value. Our revenues are above our current market cap.”
New Versions of Cloud Business Applications
The newest version of EQM, version 4, is a new robust enterprise quality management system, food inspection software and audit software to assist government and business in compliance management.
The company already has government and business customers using EQM. We believe with the new features and new graphic user interface that EQM will attract new customers. The company is working to transition EQM into a serverless application.
We believe our solution can attract governments like Dubai’s that are currently using blockchain technology to increase food safety. According to an IBM article, “The stated goal is for the system to be in place before Dubai hosts the World Expo in 2020 … Dubai’s successes and pitfalls will help to provide a blueprint for other blockchain implementations around food safety.”
EQM has similar features to the food-monitoring system Dubai is implementing. The company will integrate its blockchain technology with EQM. The company will be integrating its patent-pending blockchain storage technology. The company’s marketing strategies will include use of social media such as Google AdWords, Bing, LinkedIn, Facebook and Twitter.
EQM version 4.0, compliance management software, starts at $399 per month.
