• Completed an additional installation of GAME (Global Asset Management for Enterprises) for a global household appliance manufacturer;
• Successfully installed GAME at two additional Carvana vehicle inspection and processing centers;
• Expanded the GAME solution footprint and automation of additional business processes for a large national insurance company;

• Entered into a letter of intent with FourKites, Inc for the purchase of the TrackX Yard Management line of business; this strategic transaction was subsequently completed and announced on March 24, 2020.

Management Commentary

“In Q1, 2020, TrackX further refined its solution focus on the growth of highly repeatable, high margin SaaS-based solutions in the supply chain and enterprise asset management industries. As a result, the company made a strategic decision to sell the Yard Management line of business. That lead the Company to sign a letter of intent with FourKites, the Chicago-based creator of the predictive supply chain visibility category, for the sale of the TrackX Yard Management business. This strategic transaction was subsequently closed in Q2 2020 and announced on March 24, 2020,” said CEO Tim Harvie. “During the quarter, we continued to execute on our core strategies with new partners added to our ecosystem, additional expansion within our current customer base, numerous extensions and functional enhancements to our GAME platform, and an increase in recurring revenue, our core metric.”

Business Outlook

TrackX has remained consistent in its focus to execute on its core strategies.  The Company’s land and expand strategy resulted in multiple solution implementations during the quarter.  Expansion within our existing client base during the quarter and additional deployments beyond include:

• Global household appliance manufacturer: Completed an additional implementation of GAME for Supply Chain Management (SCM), bringing the total number of implementations for this customer to 10.
  
• Carvana:  Continued solution expansion and completed the installation of the GAME platform at two additional vehicle inspection centers (IC’s), bringing the implementation to a total of 10 IC’s.
  
• Global Powersports leader:  Completed phase 1 of the GAME implementation to manage the inventory of recreational vehicles. Discussions are underway regarding phase 2 functional requirements.
• National insurance company:  Expanded the GAME solution footprint and automated additional business processes across multiple administrative buildings.

The Company will narrow its focus in returnable asset tracking, high value asset tracking (i.e., IT asset tracking) and supply chain management. COVID-19 has brought with it many global challenges across every industry and within every community. Companies need now, more than ever, to gain supply chain visibility and improve supply chain efficiency. This need to eliminate the black holes in the supply chain, protect against product tampering, eliminate theft, maintain a clear chain of custody, ensure product quality and obtain proof of delivery has resulted in supply chain initiatives moving closer to the top of the priority list for many companies. With a proven, enterprise scalable, IOT hardware agnostic, blockchain-enabled supply chain platform, TrackX expects to not only see an increase in pipeline activity, but to also see opportunities close more quickly over the subsequent quarters.  

To increase delivery capacity and more effectively respond to industry opportunities, TrackX will continue to develop its partner network. Not only will new partners, like FourKites, continue to be added to the TrackX ecosystem, but additional improvements to joint sales and marketing collaboration with partners are expected to fuel additional growth in pipeline activity, and growth in high margin recurring SaaS revenue.
